Kotoko Fined GH36,500
Kumasi Asante Kotoko will appeal the hefty fine by
disciplinary committee of the Ghana Football
Association for boycotting a medal presentation in
a Cup match last month.
The Ghana FA charged them for misconduct and
ordered them to pay a cumulative 36,500 Ghana cedi
fine in the verdict released on Wednesday.
The club's Serbian trainer Bogdan Korak was also
hit with a three-match ban on the touchlines next
season.
“Kotoko officials have met and we're filing an
appeal on Thursday because we think the punishment
is too heavy and we are shocked at it,” an
official Nana Kwame Dankwah said.
“We agree we erred and we deserve some bit of
punishment but at a time that most clubs are
struggling financially, we think they must come
again and we hope our plea will yield positive
result at the Appeals committee.”
Kotoko resisted sanctions imposed on them by the
Ghana League Clubs Association over the matter
after they ate a humble pie. Source - Daily Guide
