Abdulai revealed that the players are owed five months' worth of wages and bonuses. Additionally, he has not received any payment for almost a year.

In light of this dire situation, Abdulai has called for immediate assistance to help resolve the issue.

"The players refused to train yesterday because they have not received their salaries for almost five months, along with some unpaid bonuses. As the coach, I have not been paid for nearly a year. Our situation is critical, and we urgently need help," he stated during an interview with Kumasi-based Akoma FM.

"Some of us are unable to voice our concerns, but the players have taken a stand by refusing to train, which speaks volumes to me. We are trying to come up with strategies to unite and motivate the team.

"As a human being, I sometimes have to assist, like when a player complains about not having eaten all day. However, I cannot handle everything on my own, so we rely on the support of stakeholders.

"It is a challenging situation, but if things turn around today, we can still avoid relegation," he added.
