Hearts of Oak Board member, Vincent Odotei has advised supporters of the club to protect the brand in order for the team to attract and secure more sponsors and partnership.
The Phobians on Tuesday 8 September launched their partnership agreement with Starlife Assurance where the insurance company handed a brand new 47-seater bus to the club.
According to the Member of Parliament for Dadekotopon Constituency, the club can only progress and secure more sponsorship deals like that of the StarLife Assurance if the image and brand of the club are protected and not tarnished as being done by some supporters and the media.
“Before football can develop, Corporate Ghana must invest in the club which is a practice done everywhere”, he said in an interview after the unveiling of the team’s bus.
“There is no where in the world that only directors or owners invest their monies in clubs. The private sector must also come in but we need to stop giving the brand a bad name so it will attract sponsors”
“We must stop the negative things we promote about the club in order to attract investors to the clubs. We must give Corporate Ghana that encouragement so they come”.
He urged the supporters of the club to be patient as structures are been put in place to restore the Phobian glory.
“The supporters must also be patient so we can develop the club”
