“I have spoken to one management member and three Members of the National chapters Committee so I believe that we are all going to work together to get the club to it’s glory days very soon.”

“For me we should focus on how to get the club back after ten years of not winning the league that is the most important thing right now but a traditional club like hearts of oak you are going to have different opinions and views about how the club is run,so its up to us to know how to handle it.”

He continued “The progress of hearts of oak is paramount and above everybody’s personal opinion, the most important thing for everyone at the club is to help move the club forward.”

Mortagbe also stated he drew a lot of positives from the club’s performance during the NC competition.

“We judge everybody by their performance and looking at the NC special competition most of hearts of oak supporters were very optimistic about the performance of the club and had hope for the future after the NC competition and for me I see a lot of potential in the team when watching them.”
