Players and officials of Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko have not been paid for two months which could be accounting for the club's poor showing in their recent matches in the Ghana top-flight.
Solomon Ofosu Ware has confirmed that players of Kotoko as well as head coach David Duncan have not been paid for these past two months.
A member of Kumasi Asante Kotoko’s communication team, the official - popularly called Chairman Solo - confirmed to Nhyira FM in Kumasi.
This comes as a sharp deviation from the rosy picture being belted by other members of the communication team and management.
“As I speak, the players’ salary would be ready by Monday. The money is not there, and I would not come out to say the money is there if it’s not. We admit the players are owed for two months,” he told the Power Sports show on Saturday.
When asked about that of Duncan, he retorted: “If we haven’t paid the players, how can we pay the coach?”
Kotoko are currently tenth on the league table but currently just four points from the relegation zone.
