From our football correspondent Upbeat

The dugout15 May 2028

Mpho Khethang says Hasaacas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market15 May 2028

Only the photograph left for Ernest Gyan

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Ernest Gyan will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Hasaacas the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad15 May 2028

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Dari Haruna was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad15 May 2028

Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lawal Muritala 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 dugout15 May 2028

The manager makes an example of Dari Haruna

“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.

The dugout15 May 2028

Nana Partey has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hasaacas will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market15 May 2028

The clock does Ebuka Akobundu’s negotiating for him

3 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Hasaacas could ask drops and the wages Ebuka Akobundu can ask rise.

Loan watch15 May 2028

The goals keep arriving from Jonathan Baba’s exile

3 goals in 28 games at Liberty Professionals — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Hasaacas updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout15 May 2028

Nana Baba 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 Nana Baba trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market3 Apr 2028

Nana Partey puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hasaacas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Andrew Kyereh keeps Hasaacas in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The dugout3 Apr 2028

Kwame Annan says Hasaacas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Dari Haruna signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dari Haruna commits to Hasaacas for another 4 years.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Bernard Appiah in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings3 Apr 2028

Idris Ajiya was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad3 Apr 2028

Lawal Muritala falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match1 Apr 2028

Honours even between Hasaacas and Ashanti Gold

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout3 Apr 2028

Olumide Henry 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.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

A brace, and Francis Atiemo takes the afternoon — 8.92

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Francis Atiemo provided it, and the 8.92 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match20 Nov 2027

Still nobody has beaten Hasaacas

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Dari Haruna was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces22 Nov 2027

The crowd has taken to Idris Ajiya

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match20 Nov 2027

Hasaacas find a way past New Edubiase United

New Edubiase United made Hasaacas work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Jonathan Boakye, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Andre Atiemo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hasaacas will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Andrew Djiku was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 14. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Andrew Ayew damages knee ligaments — 123 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 123 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match19 Jul 2027

Hasaacas up to position 3

54 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Bernard Appiah in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Hasaacas baulk at the price for Solomon Agbesi

Hearts of Oak wanted more than $100.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Door shut on Nana Ayew

Hasaacas asked and Wa All Stars said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Nana Partey falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

A loan move for Felix Kyei is in the works

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

Squad19 Jul 2027

Kwame Annan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kwame Annan and Hasaacas agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market19 Jul 2027

Edmund Acquah runs his contract down

6 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Hasaacas money.
