Former Asante Kotoko talisman Charles Taylor has launched a scathing and explosive attack on the club’s current crop of players, accusing them of misplaced priorities and a lack of professionalism amid what is shaping up to be another frustrating Premier League campaign for the Porcupine Warriors. Taylor, a Hearts of Oak cult hero despite his iconic past in red, did not mince words as he vented his frustration over Kotoko’s inconsistency and fading title hopes. Speaking on Angel FM, the outspoken former winger claimed Kotoko players are more concerned with post-match selfies and fraternising with women than maintaining focus and delivering results on the pitch. “Kotoko players like taking pictures with ladies after games too much. That’s why they easily lose concentration,” Taylor fired. “They don’t care about the environment. You see them taking photos with women even after defeat. Hands around them, hugging them and smiling. Any serious professional will avoid women after matches to prevent distractions and drama. But they simply don’t care. You will see them with ladies with big, big buttocks.” Taylor’s comments come at a tense moment for the Ghanaian powerhouse, who find themselves six points behind league leaders Medeama SC after 18 matches. Despite briefly halting a four-game winless run with three straight victories, Kotoko have once again stumbled, failing to win their last two matches — recording a loss and a draw that have stalled their momentum. The fallout has reportedly triggered unrest at boardroom level, with the club’s hierarchy split over the future of head coach Karim Zito. The Interim Management Committee (IMC) has already held a crisis meeting following the club’s recent run of unconvincing results, intensifying speculation about Zito’s long-term future at the club. Currently fourth on the table with 31 points, Kotoko’s title ambitions are hanging by a thread, and Taylor’s blistering remarks have only added fuel to the growing fire around the club. His criticism reflects a wider sentiment among sections of the fanbase, who believe the team lacks the hunger, discipline and mental edge required to reclaim domestic dominance. With pressure mounting on both players and technical handlers, the coming weeks could prove decisive for Asante Kotoko — either a turning point towards redemption or further descent into turmoil.
