Board Chairman shares breakfast with team

Players and members of technical team continue to live in joy as Executive Board chairman, Dr. K.K Sarpong continues to captivate them with his class-act leadership style.

In addition to the many good things that have been rolled at the feet of the team to give them the peace of mind to deliver for the success of the club, Dr. K. K Sarpong has introduced yet another innovation to the amazement of the players.

After a meeting with the team on Sunday morning, the board chairman did not only leave them with good news for them to smile about for the days to come, but also left an indelible mark on their minds and hearts.

As the players lined up for their breakfast, the saw an unusual participant in their morning ritual of going to get served, and before they could say ‘jack’, there was the executive board chairman in the queue waiting for his turn to be served.

With his porridge and bread with sausages served, he took a spot at the dinning table and did ‘justice’ to his meal.

Though Alhaji Bahmed was with the board chairman at the meeting, he could not go to the table as he is actively partaking in the on-going Ramadan fasting. He therefore interacted with the players instead.

Almost all the players were dumb-founded, but as he took his meal and at the same time, shared some jokes with those around, the ice broke and all around felt the freedom to fraternize.

In private conversation with one of the new signings into the team, he expressed surprise at the show of humanism by the board chairman.

“I have played for two different premiership clubs, but this is the first time I have seen a club president and a very respectable one as we have come down to share meals with the players”.

“On the occasion that we saw some club presidents come to the table, they either waited for the players to leave or come early so that they could be served their ‘special requests’.

“I feel happy playing for such a person and I will work or my energies to make his tenure a very successful one,” the anonymous player said.

At the meeting itself, he spoke to the players about the programmes they have up their sleeves for them and urged them to continue with the comportment they have exhibited whilst in camp.

He assured them that those who were owed monies would be sorted out before the league started.

In fulfilment of their promises to the players when they went to play Ebusua Dwarfs two weeks ago, the players were handed the money for doing their part of the bargain by winning the match.
