Hearts of Oak board member Vincent Sowah Odotei believes the Phobians and their rivals, Asante Kotoko, are victims of their own internal issues.

He believes fans of the two clubs have too much information from insiders at the club and are using it to destroy their progress.

"I believe we've been victims of our own internal issues that have conveyed a sort of chaos to our stakeholders, who have taken advantage of it and more or less brought Hearts of Oak and Kotoko to their knees," he told Citi TV.

With Hearts currently occupying the tenth position in the league standings after 26 games, Sowah Odotei acknowledged the disappointment surrounding the club's on-field performance.

Kotoko ranks 11th in the league, registering six losses in seven league games, with its last match ending in a 2-0 loss to Dreams FC.
