Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak have issued a detailed statement backing board member Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe and has asked former players to stop throwing defamatory remarks at him.

Former Phobian star Charles Taylor labelled Tamakloe as 'archaic' following his decision against signing former players who wanted to return to the club.

Dan Quaye also had a go at the medical doctor in the past and the club showed their disapproval in a long statement.

Hearts also highlighted that they will not sign players who want to 'relaunch' their careers in the local scene.
