Former Hearts of Oak defender Vincent Atingah has cleared the air about the circulating news concerning the MTN FA Cup final match which was alarmed by former club captain Thomas Abbey.

On Thursday, Thomas Abbey made a shocking revelation about the cause of Hearts of Oak’s 3-1 defeat against rivals Asante Kotoko in the 2017 FA Cup final.

The former club skipper disclosed that the entire playing body had gone three months without salary and seven match winning bonuses were also in arrears prior to the final.

“Yes, we had some bonuses unpaid but days before the final match our monies was settled in a rightful manner,” Atingah said.
