Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has urged Asante Kotoko to rethink their team housing arrangement following allegations of off-field misconduct including alcoholism, shisha use, and romantic entanglements.
Badu suggests that players should be allowed to find their own accommodations instead of living together in a club house.
This advice comes after ex-Kotoko captain Justice Blay shared concerns about the behaviour of some players while living in the team’s residential compound.
Speaking to Luv FM, Agyemang Badu urged the club to consider a more independent housing arrangement for players.
“I’ve been a professional footballer before. If it’s not camping, grouping players in a place like this in a huge club like Asante Kotoko is not advisable if financially the team is very strong. They should disperse them and let them get their own houses so that there can be peace,” he said.
He warned that failure to act could lead to recurring disciplinary problems in the future, stressing, “Maybe next year, maybe in the years to come, you might be having a lot of chaotic scenes like this”.
