Former Ghana Premier League Board chairman Ashford Tetteh-Oku has warned Ghanaian clubs over player pay-cut amid coronavirus pandemic.
The disease also called COVID-19 has led to the suspension of all football activities in Ghana including the Ghana Premier League.
As a result, clubs are finding it difficult to pay their players and have asked them to take a pay-cut to ease the financial burden on them.
According to Tetteh-Oku, it is up to both parties to reach a compromise, however, he advised the clubs over player cut.
"It is something people are taking for granted. I have dealt with a case before in Egypt where Zamalek has used the riots in Egypt as a case in refusing to honour their financial obligations," he told Kumasi FM.
"When the club pleaded at CAS using the riots as an excuse, our reply was that it was not taken care in the contract.
He added, "It is for the management and administrators of our clubs to learn. When contracts are signed, you must look at force majeure situations. If you do not and something happens why should the player suffer?"
"However, it is up to both parties to reach a compromise but even with that, there should be a document to back it."
