From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad7 Jun 2027

Ken-Gaston Koumous signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ken-Gaston Koumous and Heart of Lions agree another 4 years.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Words at Heart of Lions training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ruben Hennessy is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout7 Jun 2027

The manager makes an example of Ruben Hennessy

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

A loan move for Sharif Shuaib is in the works

Heart of Lions have made the call to Hearts of Oak. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market7 Jun 2027

Atta Kusi is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Heart of Lions has been clear about where Atta Kusi stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Kwesi Pong stuck behind a signing at Heart of Lions

He is 26, he is from here, and the shirt he was raised to wear has gone to somebody bought for it. The academy staff have noticed, and so has the town.

The dugout7 Jun 2027

Ishmael Addo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ishmael Addo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market7 Jun 2027

Kwadwo Obeng Junior linked with a move away

The name of Kwadwo Obeng Junior keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Heart of Lions say nothing, which says plenty.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

Open for business: Heart of Lions enter the window

The registration window is open and the phone has started. Between now and the deadline this club will be linked with forty players and sign three, which is the usual ratio.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad12 Apr 2027

A one-man rearguard from Lawrence Osei

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match10 Apr 2027

The wait goes on for Heart of Lions

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Heart of Lions

Michael Ephson and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match10 Apr 2027

Heart of Lions come up short against WAFA

WAFA left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

The manager makes an example of Mohammed Gyan

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad12 Apr 2027

A row about effort at Heart of Lions

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kwesi Pong was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market12 Apr 2027

Talks stall between Heart of Lions and Ruben Hennessy

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Amos Afful faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Amos Afful after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Bohlale Thaba stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bohlale Thaba and Heart of Lions agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A one-man rearguard from Lawrence Osei

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match3 Apr 2027

7 unbeaten for Heart of Lions

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Heart of Lions did not have in the autumn.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Words exchanged at Heart of Lions

Lawrence Osei and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A move Bohlale Thaba would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Bohlale Thaba is living that version at Heart of Lions, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Ken-Gaston Koumous wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Heart of Lions know it.

The dugout5 Apr 2027

Ishmael Addo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match3 Apr 2027

Hearts of Oak snatch it back from Heart of Lions

A goal on 91 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Match3 Apr 2027

Michael Ephson rescues a point for Heart of Lions

It needed Michael Ephson to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Hearts of Oak, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Market5 Apr 2027

Jayson Nettey returns from a loan that taught him nothing

0 appearances and 0 clean sheets. A goalkeeper learns his job by playing it, and a season that gave him neither the games nor the shut-outs is a year taken off the front of a career.

In brief
