Former Accra Hearts of Oak midfielder Esme Mends has expressed his disappointment in the Asante Kotoko top hierarchy for giving a delicate job like CEO to a charlatan like Nana Yaw Amponsah.

The 36 year old former President of Division One League side Phar Rangers was unveiled last Friday as the club's new Chief Executive Officer to the supporters amidst a lot of funfare and merry making.

But Esme Mends who claims to know the failed GFA presidential hopeful very well says his appointment will end in tears for Asante Kotoko as he lacks the competence and ability to succeed.

The former midfielder was speaking in an interview with ghanasportspage.com about the appointment of the FIFA intermediary as Kotoko CEO.
“I don’t believe Nana Yaw Amponsah is cut for the job,”

“He cannot do the job due to how I know him and I know him deeply and based on that, in fact, we’ve come a long way. I have moved with him for long.

I will not say anything untrue but as to what he did and what he didn’t do I can’t say on air but I know and I’m really really disappointed in whoever made the decision to appoint him as the new CEO for Kotoko because the Kotoko job is not a job for people like Nana Yaw Amponsah,” he added.

“For me, I know he’ll fail, I don’t wish him bad though but I know he’ll fail, and it pains me that Kotoko didn’t make the right decision at this moment of time. He is a pretender, Nana Yaw Amponsah is a pretender," he concluded.
