Former Hearts of Oak Managing Director Frederick Moore has voiced serious concerns about the club’s current struggles, expressing difficulty in identifying the root cause of their problems.
The Phobians have had a tough run lately, securing only one win in their last five matches. This poor form has left them precariously close to the relegation zone, just two points above it.
Their most recent setback, a 2-0 defeat to archrivals Asante Kotoko in match week 31, has heightened the pressure. Hearts of Oak is currently 15th in the league with 38 points after 31 games. They are set to face Nations FC at home on May 31st.
“It’s challenging to identify the true nature of Hearts of Oak’s issues. However, there seems to be a disconnect within the team,” Moore told Akoma FM.
He continued, “I’m hoping Hearts of Oak avoids being relegated. I know there’s hope as long as the league isn’t over. I hope that everyone understands how big of a task this is, including the coaches, players, board, and supporters. All I can hope is that we make it through and avoid relegation. Everyone needs to be on board to help save the situation.”
With three matches remaining, Hearts of Oak faces a daunting task to turn their season around, with critical games against Nations FC, Great Olympics, and Bechem United. The entire Hearts of Oak community is hoping for a strong finish to ensure their place in the Ghana Premier League.
