Ladies and gentlemen, “Ayam weak la” and with all sincerity, my opinion, right here and now, is best kept straight to the following points.
1. We are just not good enough. This is admittedly the weakest Kotoko team I’ve seen in the last 3 years. Personnel wise, we didn’t entirely do a great job on the market.
2. Not a hopeless case, mind you but if you keep tackling problems cosmetically, you get exposed by “bad weather.”
3. David Duncan is, right now, a manager in the true sense of the word only trying to make sense out of a very bad situation from where I sit. It’d therefore be out of place to blame him for a lot of things, especially the kind that brings his capabilities into question. At least that shouldn’t happen till perhaps after “now,” if he’s allowed, with the help of a markedly transformed recruitment system, to build a side of his own based on KAK’s unique need assessment.
4. As i’ve held from the inception, Kotoko’s problems at the start of the season only had something to do with Didi’s own frailties and not everything. Sacking him was therefore an option we could have ignored but that’s water under the bridge.
5. To all Kotoko fans, can we all try to not be plastic a little? Don’t give up by any means but for God’s sake, let’s face and accept some truth for a change. Not fabricated truth; that’s part of the cosmetic answers but the factual kind that says “we buy too much of the bullsh*t sold to us on radio” and by people “closest” to this club.
6. Personally, I think its not beyond redemption and my expectations of this team to succeed by way of winning at least a laurel or 2 is unchanged but the critical level of this expectation was lowered to “mild” when I accepted this team for what it is.
7. REPEAT POINT 2
Unto the next one.
Still Fabulous!
