Hearts lack quality players, insists sacked Herbert Addo is being used as scapegoat, says ex-star Charles Taylor
Ex-Hearts winger Charles Taylor has criticized the club’s decision to sack coach Herbert Addo, insisting they lack quality players to excel.
The Phobians are in turmoil following a disastrous Ghana Premier League campaign this season.
The club is languishing at a disappointing 12th position on the league table, leading to the dismissal of embattled trainer Herbert Addo.
But former winger Charles Taylor shielded the coach of any blame, insisting they simply lack the quality players to win the title.
“If you sack a coach, you haven’t solved the problem. Sometimes the problem is not coach but the players. If you have bad players the coach cannot do any magic for the team,” he said
“During our time, they hardly paid us but we played our hearts out because we knew football was our profession and the only thing we knew how to do.
“I can bet that during our days, any ordinary person could coach the team because the players were good. But today, all Hearts can boast of are average players. So they have to find a way to get good players for the club and stop blaming the coaches anytime things go wrong.”
Hearts crushed out of the FA Cup after losing 2-1 in the semi-final against Medeama.
