Former Karela United Public Relations officer Samuel Enyan has urged critics of Bismark Kobi-Mensah to exercise patience that the club is in good hands to finish as one of the top clubs at the end of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season.
Kobi-Mensah has come under pressure recently after a section of the supporters protested against his rotation policies, calling for his removal despite recording only 6 points in 6 games.
“Kobi needs time to be able to achieve success. What he is trying now is to get the players to understand his system,” Enyan said on Lens Radio.
“The team is not scoring many goals but they will be perfect soon. A coach will only get problems when his players do not understand the type of system he wants to use and results are also bad.
“That brings headache most often but this time the team is rather winning even if the play is not entertaining.
“The supporters should remember that, as much as they want to watch entertaining football, the coach also has a task ahead of him. He has to win matches and trophies at the end of the season so they should allow him to use the system he is comfortable with.”
He added: “I know Karela supporters very well. When the team plays entertaining football and lose, the coach will regret. They will call for his resignation or sacking. I am confident with the kind of players currently available, they will play better as the season progresses, if Kobi is spared the constant criticisms and offered support.”
Karela will host Accra Lions on Sunday at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park as they seek to win their second game of the season.
