With Kotoko's struggles evident in their one win out of nine second-round matches, Bempah highlighted the challenges faced by the team, including Appiah's absence due to his commitments abroad.

Bempah questioned the effectiveness of running a club like Kotoko with only four individuals, especially when one of them, Appiah, is not physically present to oversee operations.

He emphasized the importance of being actively involved in the day-to-day activities of the club, particularly for a Technical Director.

Bempah expressed surprise that Appiah continued to hold the position despite his other commitments, suggesting that he should have recommended other candidates to Nana, considering his external engagements.

He also doubted the effectiveness of having a former Kotoko player with a technical background in a remote position, emphasizing the need for a more hands-on approach to management.
