They don\u2019t want me and I think it\u2019s time for me to move on,\u201d the 35-year old told ghanasoccernet.com. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have sent my letter to them and hopefully we can reach a mutual agreement to terminate my contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have not paid me and coupled with that they have asked Godwin Attram to be the head coach and that was not what I applied for. It means they don\u2019t want me and so I have left them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The managerial ineptitude of the club has been fingered as the major setback of the Accra giants which has sent them to their current state.<\/p>\n<p>Olympics are second from bottom and are set to be relegated for the fifth time in history to become the second most-relegated Ghana Premier League club.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: 55 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Thursday, 14 September 2017 Source: ghanacrusader.com 2017-09-14 Tom Strand &#13; The troubles of Accra Great Olympics have been deepened following the resignation of head coach Tom Strand after he was re-assigned as the assistant coach of the club.
