Elmina Sharks owner Paa Kwesi Nduom has accused the hierarchy of the Ghana Football Association of conflict of interest in running the Premier League.
The politician expressed his frustrations over management of the country’s top-flight competition, which has been plagued with several challenges including poor officiating, lack of a headline sponsor, and absence of broadcast rights holders.
It hit a new low in hooliganism when Asante Kotoko supporter Francis Frimpong "Pooley" was stabbed to death during a Week 19 clash against Nsoatreman in Nsoatre.
"The people who run the league, there is a conflict of interest,” Nduom said in an interview with GTV Sports Plus.
“Why should an owner of a team be President of GFA, why should an owner of a team be a vice-president of the GFA.
“We can't sack them because people's hands are in their mouth. Can you go and sack the people who are there now? No.”
Elmina Sharks players and supporters were allegedly involved in acts of hooliganism against Swedru All Blacks in a Division One - less than three weeks following the demise of Pooley and on his one-week celebration.
"Isn't it a consequence of what has been happening in the country? If you let people misbehave from Premier, Division One, Division Two, what do you expect? If I was not at the stadium, what do you think would have happened?
Meanwhile, Sharks' Jay Asamoah has been charged with breaching Section 13 (1) (k) of the Ghana Football Association's Disciplinary Code for allegedly assaulting referee Eso Doh Morrison.
