Hearts Management at war with PLB

Accra Hearts of Oak management are unhappy about the decision by the Premier League Board [PLB] for rejecting their request to have their match day 15 league game against AshGold on Wednesday postponed.

The Phobians wants their game against AshGold postponed in order for them to prepare feverishly in their 2nd leg Confederation Cup game against AC Djioliba from Mali but the PLB rejected Hearts of Oak request stating that the Accra based club request came in late.

However, the Managing Director of Hearts of Oak, Gerald Ankrah said the Management of Accra Hearts of Oak are much disappointed with the decision taken by the Premier League Board[PLB] led by Welbeck Yaw Abrah-Appiah for not taken their request into an account.

'We submitted a letter requesting to have the AshGold game postponed last week Tuesday. The Premier League Board (PLB) met and turned down our request on Wednesday but we received the decision by a letter today [Monday],' he told Happy FM.

'We played Olympics on Sunday, [set] to play AshGold [on Wednesday] and we have a very big game in Africa in Accra on Sunday.'

'We are not happy about the decision when we are the only club in Africa and have to prepare well but we are going head strong to play the [AshGold] game.'

He concluded: 'I spoke to a top AshGold official and they were returning from Wa this morning. I ask, why the rush? Look at the distance we would both have to cover for Wednesday's game before returning to Accra for Djoliba on Sunday. I don't want to say certain things but officials are being economical with issues'.

The Phobians currently sit at the 10th position with 19 points.
