Asante Kotoko appealed the hefty fine by disciplinary committee of the Ghana Football Association for boycotting a medal presentation in a Cup match last month.
The Ghana FA charged them for misconduct and ordered them to pay a cumulative 36,500 Ghana cedi fine in the verdict released on Wednesday.
The club�s Serbian trainer Bogdan Korak was also hit with a three-match ban on the touchlines next season. �Kotoko officials have met and we�re filing an appeal on Thursday because we think the punishment is too heavy and we are shocked at it,� an official Nana Kwame Dankwah said.
�We agree we erred and we deserve some bit of punishment but at a time that most clubs are struggling to financially, we think they must come again and we hope our plea will yield positive result at the Appeals committee.�
Kotoko resisted sanctions imposed on them by the Ghana League Clubs Association over the matter after they ate their humble pie.
