Disregard Young Apostles statement - Samuel Anim Addo

President of Young Apostles, Samuel Anim Addo, has called for the dismissal of the club's statement disassociating themselves following his comment about referee Maxwell Hanson.

Anim Addo, who is a former Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) described Referee Hanson as a man used for dirty work.

His remarks followed after Maxwell Hanson dominated the headlines for the wrong reasons after officiating the Matchday 16 game between Dreams FC and Accra Lions at the Tuba AstroTurf, a game Dreams won 1-0.

He further alleged threats from the FA to relegate his club, Young Apostles after calling out officiating deficiencies in the Ghana Premier League.

Following Anim Addo's statement, Young Apostles, in a statement disassociated themselves from the comments of their co-owner.

“Young Apostles FC wishes to clarify that a recent statement made by Mr Samuel Anim Addo (Club Official/Member) on social media directed to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) does not reflect the views or opinions of our club. We strongly disassociate ourselves from these comments and any sentiments expressed therein,” the statement read.

However, Anim Addo in an interview with Joy Sports asked football fans not to pay attention to the official release from the club.

"That's another unfortunate situation. It's not from the club; I am a co-owner of the club. Whoever wrote that letter has no authority over me. Disregard that statement,” he said.

“The person who sanctioned that letter is not the CEO but a general manager, and he does not have authority beyond me. Nobody authorized him to write that letter, but I know where all this is coming from. Don't worry."

Meanwhile, Samuel Anim Addo has been charged by the Disciplinary Committee of the GFA and has until Monday, January 13 to respond.
