The Chairman of Chapter 143 of the Supporters Union of Accra Hearts of Oak Football Club, Mr Edward Azumah has congratulated the team for winning the just-ended 2006/2007 One-touch Premier League. “We can achieve better than the gains we have made so far”, he said and stressed that it is left for the Board and Management to discharge their duties effectively in brightening the team’s chances in the next edition of the CAF Champion’s League. Speaking in an interview with the GNA Sports in Kumasi on Wednesday, he noted that with the club winning its 19th premiership league title, it had demonstrated its commitment to regaining its status in African Football and urged that the team worked harder than before and aspire to greater heights. The Chairman said it was unfortunate that after Hearts’ triumph in the 2000 Champion’s League, the team had consistently failed to consolidate its achievements and had to virtually struggle for survival in subsequent competitions. On the club’s search for a new Chief Executive Officer, Mr Azumah called on the Board to be cautious so as to give the mandate to a development-oriented person who would manage the club’s affairs effectively. “We should not necessarily look out for a rich person but someone with the requisite business acumen needed to advance Hearts’ development in all departments of the game”, he added. Mr Azumah appealed to all and sundry to contribute generously in cash or in kind towards boosting the financial base of the club to enable it undertake development projects. Source: GNA
