The Phobians were ordered to pay a staggering $40,000 compensation to Duncan for his wrongful dismissal in November 2013.

The club also failed in its appeal to the Ghana FA’s Status Committee ruling.

Hearts, facing financial challenges had to engage Duncan and his representatives to negotiate for a reduced amount.

The protracted negotiations is believed to be one of the reasons why Duncan’s prospective return to coach Great Olympics fell through.

An amount was eventually settled on but payments was to be made in tranches.
