Kotoko chairman K.K Sarpong and coach Bogdan Korack in warm embrace<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Asante Kotoko has declared its status as a selling club by confirming it needs to sell players to sustain itself.<\/p>\n

Reports suggests the club has earmarked eight of its first team players with most of them recruited six months ago for onward sale.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club will not stand in the way of any player once an offer is made and the value is right,\u201d Executive chairman Dr. K.K Sarpong told Hot FM.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth the players and the club have responsibilities which needs to be financed and there is no other way to do so apart from selling especially in this part of the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

However critics insist Kotoko which is supposed to be one of the biggest clubs on the African continent should not finance itself solely from selling their best players.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administrators should rather focus on exploring other ways to rake in revenue rather than sell our best players,\u201d Nana Adu a die hard Kotoko fan told Ghanasoccernet.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need these players to conquer both Ghana and Africa and then when the success come, with proper marketing strategy, we will rake in enormous revenues equatable to the likes of the Ahly\u2019s, Orlando Pirates\u2019 and other financially astute clubs in Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
