He particularly said he was displeased about the attitude of the new Interim Management Committee (IMC) of Kumasi Asante Kotoko in their dealing with one of his players-- Yussif Chibsah.

"If any club chooses to dishonour me by doing whatever pleases it, I would also, dishonour them in return and that is why I expect the IMC to do the right thing as they would want to be done to them," he added.
