Mantey unsure of Olympics future
Accra, July 6, Ghanadot/GNA – The
skipper of relegated Accra Great Olympics Francis Mantey is
unsure of his future at the club.
The captain’s contract has expired and he told GNA Sports he
is hesitant to conclude whether he would be with the team in
their journey to the “wilderness” of the First Division.
“I will need about three weeks to decide if I will want to
move or stay with Olympics.
“I could make a decision today and everything might change
the next moment and that is what I’m hoping to prevent.”
The player led the Club back to the elite division when it
was relegated three seasons ago but remains skeptical if the
traditional club has an iota of chance of returning to the
premiership next season.
“Lack of planning has been part of our bane this season and
our coming back will partly be dependant on how such issues
is handled.”
Mantey told GNA Sports that the “Wonder Club” made too many
mistakes on and off the pitch and it behoves on lovers of
the Club to come to a common vision to drive Olympics back
to the division they exit with only 24 points to their
credit.
He said surviving in the First Division also means giving a
better significance to recruitment which he underscores
would go a long way to determine their fate in the tier,
which he termed as “rough and tough”.
“One cannot depend on inexperienced players to excel at the
Division One which is stiffer than the Premier League.
“It is important that players with character and experience
are recruited if the Club yearns to return to the elite
division soon.”
Olympics struggled all season with chains of poor results
that placed them at the bottom of the league from the very
start.
