Explaining the state of the club, Harrison Addo stated that Ashantigold have not been expelled from Ghana football as purported to be.
“The decision that was taken only maintains the status quo and there has not been anything new to Ashantigold. Per our laws, if you want to maintain it the next congress to have to take it there and Congress will maintain it because the ultimate power for suspension of a member or expulsion of a member sits with Congress”
“So we have not expelled Ashantigold, people think they have been expelled and are out of everything, some have explained it in so many ways. The thing is suspension, there were suspended already and I heard people say that it is contempt of court, please Ashantigold have not been suspended because of going to court, No.”
