Hearts Are Spiritually Bankrupt - Amankwa Mireku

Ex-Hearts defender Amankwa Mireku has attributed the side�s patchy run in the League to spiritual bankruptcy. The capital-based side have struggled to assert themselves in the top flight where they had to dig deep to record a hard-fought 3-2 win over Real Tamale United on Sunday. Coach CK Akunnor was axed from the club after supervising three successive defeats, a single win and a draw. The Phobians have also been decimated with major departures after long-standing administrative manager Ashford Tetteh Oku resigned from the club. The club is also without a substantive Chief Executive and a physical trainer with confidence dropping to an all-time low in the team. Mireku, who enjoyed a terrific ten-year spell at the club, claims the lack of spiritual backing has accounted for their woes. �The problem in Hearts is huge. They are spiritually bankrupt and something drastic must be done,� Mireku told Radio XYZ �During our time, we placed a lot of emphasis on spirituality. We fasted and prayed before matches but obviously that is missing from the current set-up. �Without God, there is nothing can achieve and so I will urge the authorities to take a second look at their spiritual situation.� Hearts travel to Kumasi to face arch-rivals Asante Kotoko on November 18.
