Deputy Accra Representative of Asante Kotoko, Nana Kwame Dankwah has assured fans that the management of the club are making arrangements pay a $240,000 fine imposed by FIFA before the deadline.
FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee fined the Ghana Premier League giants for illegally signing striker Emmanuel Clottey in 2015, who was then with Esperance. Kotoko thus must pay $240,000 to the Tunisian club.
The Porcupine Warriors have until May 17, 2020, to pay the said amount else will be banned from signing new players locally or internationally.
“Our supporters should remain calm. There is no cause for alarm. In fact, the Chairman is just organising himself to pay the money,” Nana Kwame told Joy FM.
Earlier this week, Kotoko supporters had requested to organise a fundraising to help pay the fine but management declined.
Nana Kwame explained that the management does not want to burden the supporters amid coronavirus crisis in the country.
“The supporters front even wrote to management for permission to organise fundraising but looking at the situation [vis-à-vis Covid-19], people are not working. So, taking money from fans is not appropriate.”
