Hearts unhappy with fourth place — Odotei
The Chairman of the Strategic Committee of Accra Hearts of Oak, Vincent Sowah Odotei, has admitted that finishing fourth at the end of the first round of the Ghana Premier League offers little consolation to him after their superb start to the campaign.

Hearts ended the first round of the season in fourth place with 26 points – 13 of which they had amassed after only five matches leading Mr Odotei to describe their performance over 15 matches as average.
"I think that we have been very sub-optimal looking at how we started on fire," Odotei told the Graphic Sports in an interview last Monday.
"We got 13 points from the first five games and another 13 points after, we are not happy about that because this group of management and the board are winners and we want to make sure that the investment and structures we have put in will see the team perform".
Mr Odotei said although he was impressed with the away-form of the team, he was hoping for an all-round performance in the second round.
He stressed that the club would be beefing-up both the playing body and technical team in the off-season in order to improve their performance.
"We are not discussing the employment conditions of any of our staff in public but I can confirm that we are looking at a lot of players. We want to invest a lot of money into players in this club".
"I can assure the supporters that we are going to be very competitive in the second round."
