Football coach Nana Agyemang believes that Asante Kotoko's life patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is one of the club's "biggest issues" responsible for their woes.
The Porcupines have won one Ghana Premier League title in nine years and have not surpassed the round of 16 in any CAF Inter-club competition.
Currently, the team is on a poor run of form, with just two victories in ten matches.
Prosper Narteh Ogum’s side sit 10th on the league table with 36 points, only five above the relegation zone.
“When you look at Manchester United, a very big club, I don't know the patron. The patrons of those clubs don't feature and figure in the same way that Otumfuo does,” Agyemang told JoySports.
“We are supposed to be having some competent people sitting around a table being the board managing this club and we can never ever get to that stage.
“The King is one big issue for me, then the management members that he selects is another problem, how they are selected represent another problem because huge lobbying goes on.”
Otumfuo set up an Interim Management Committee (IMC), which includes Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awua, Akwasi Appiah, Coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum, and Emmanuel Newton Dasoberi to run the club.
This was following the dissolution of the previous management team, headed by Chief Executive Officer Nana Yaw Amponsah.
