Aduda: Oktay is going nowhere
Gor Mahia CEO has dismissed calls by fans to fire coach Hassan Oktay. The calls have been building but reached a crescendo on Sunday when Gor Mahia lost to KCB.
“Now that the team lost to KCB does not mean that we go ahead and sack the coach. We are not going to sack the coach just because the fans are demanding for the same.” Aduda told goal.com
Aduda reminded fans that Oktay helped the club reach the group stage.
“We have just started the season and remember, last year we lost five matches and still went on to win the league. The same coach has helped the team qualify for the group stages of the Caf competition and that is not a mean achievement.” he concluded.
The match against SoNy Sugar on Wednesday will be one that will test the mettle of Oktay. Another bad result could bury Gor Mahias title hopes and end Oktay’s career at Kogalo.
Guikan moving to Zambia
Gor Mahia’s Ivorian attacker Ephrem Guikan is set to leave the club, likely for a Zambian side.
“Yes it’s true Guikan has left Gor and is closing in on a transfer here,” a source from the Zambia said to the Nation.
Guikan has never settled at Gor Mahia. Coach Kerr never preferred him and he got limited playing time. He almost left the club in November. That was until coach Kerr announced that he was leaving..
He recently fell out with coach Oktay as well after he was subbed within 10 minutes during the match against Mount Kenya United. As a result he was onmitted from the squad that went to Tanzania for the Super cup. Ambrose Rachier confirmed Guikan’s departure.
“Guikan has written to us requesting to be released saying he is interested in joining another club. We are in talks and will release him and that’s why we have left his name out of Caf list,’’said Rachier.
Trio registered for CAF Cup group stage
Gor Mahia have strengthened their CAF- Confederations squad adding in new signing Dennis Oliech, Nicholas Kipkirui and defender Geoffrey Ochieng.
The trio will be needed to be in top form as Gor Mahia face a stern test against Zamalek of Egypt and NA Hussein Dey of Algeria.
Oliech is easily the most experienced player in the competition, having played in the European Champions League against the likes of Real Madrid.
Aduda may I advise you for free, avoid by all means to attend any match involving Gor mahia fc especially the match against Sony sugar. Because you have returned Gor mahia fc to mediocrity and the kind of football Gor mahia fc is playing is not that of Gor mahia. And even when Gor mahia will face Sony sugar and they win will not spare you. Fans are very and you can’t just portray your arrogance as always and you know very well that oktay is not a quality coach just like some mediocre players that signed. Remember that you were fired from football kenya federation due arrogance and know it all attitude. We will not sit and let our team return to the old age where we could not even finish top ten. Resign as soon as possible before you are forced to resign in front of the media. We’ve done it and we can still do it. There were good coaches who applied for the coaching position at Gor mahia, but you chose a low quality coach and even in Kenya we have kimanzi who is far better than your project oktay. Mark my words, resign before the end of the week.
In fact the kind of players we have if given to kimanzi to coach will make as invisible
on kimanzi it is ok but not zico…….. oktay!???i dont know!
I agree.. ZICO NO and a big NO! The guy has destroyed teams and its known by all football enthusiasts in Kenya.
I have very little doubt that he is involved in the current fiasco so that he could be given Gor Mahia to destroy.
If GM has a budget of kes.550k for the head coach then why not recruit a top experienced gaffer, not neccessarily a mzungu, from Zambia, UG, Ghana etc using their FAs to avoid quacks. I echo calls to fire Zico & the TM.Players must also be paid on time.
All player transfers (in and out) must be approved/ sanctioned by the coaches and not forced on GM by brokers. Wastage due to bloated EC and squad should be corrected. TAKE REMEDIAL ACTION NOW BEFORE 2019 LEAGUE SLIPS AWAY BEYOND RECOVERY.
Oduori12, I doubt if Zico guy is not involved in the problems currently facing Gor Mahia, i knew he would not take more than three years before resurrecting his bad manners.
Oktay is horrible, watching GM versus Mount kenya showed terrible game plan and absurd fitness, no class at all.
THE TRIO all the best.
Now we have money for CAF – confed and can add more players?
Aduda, you will retract those words this coming weekend and subsequent matches. Gor matches will henceforth become unbearable for oktay and we will force him to resign ! This man is a fraud and a fakestar . watch this space………
Especially Sony hehehehe
Let me remind Aduda that he doesn’t not owned Gor mahia, we are the owners of the club and he is our employee. If he thinks that he owns the club then let him come to kisumu.
We failed to qualified at most prestigious compilation and he cannot say that we are in group stage because of the coach.
This coach is useless and unless he leaves, it’s going to take us another ten year to win any title.
The earlier the better. Maybe Rachier and his group want to take us back to where they found the club.
Unless we use some civil ways to bring change i can see the team playing behind doors after being docked points. I know some will say they don’t care and that the end justifies the means. Can’t we borrow from ManU how they handled their crisis with Mourinho in charge? Being unruly and damaging property belonging to people not concerned with our problems is a BIG No. We just got reinstated in Machakos a few months ago, Kasarani is like a tray of eggs to be handled carefully, Kisumu cannot handle CAF or the derby, CAF can fine us the equivalent of what we get from Sportpesa in a year. So as we protest, mourn, cry etc let’s not forget that whatever we do has its consequences. It’s always easier to demolish than build. Before we act let’s take some times to think. Seen the guy who smashed his TV because his team was losing and had a painful time replacing it. If only he had switched it off
@DO, people who destroy property /commit crimes should be arrested, charged & convicted by police hired by home teams. For how long have you appealed & will continue appealing for them to stop. Insecurity keeps a sizeable no. of fans & their money away.
True Dan Original, But AR has also taken too long to spear head changes.
Its the reason some people feel beating up some people is the only way out.
Many many GM problems are due to the bloated office but a very learned Chair is quiet on effecting change on this whole clan of saboteurs.
Fans keep changing names but performance and results remain the same.
For once, I agree with Aduda. A great club like Kogallo cannot get into the habit of “Always Firing Coaches”. Whereas there are chances that Oktay may have been a mistake, we may have to live with that mistake, at least for a little longer and see how things turn out. Its like an unwanted pregnancy. You don’t have to abort it just because you realise that it was a mistake. That baby, if borne to term, may end up being a president.
Threatening officials, especially the coach, will not help matters either. Remember, there is a mob out there who will pounce at any opportunity to cause chaos. And this, without saying, will taint our image negatively especially to our sponsors.
And there is a very good reason the word ‘nincompoop’ was invented in the English vocabulary
I can see a lot has happened since the last time I had something to do with Gor Mahia. Actually I chose to skip work and watch Dennis Oliech and Godfrey Ochieng’ playing Mbao. I watched until we conceded a goal from a nonsensical corner that was conceded by careless attitude from Philemon and Shakava. I turned off my T.V. and shut out anything Gor Mahia until today. I was saving myself from heartache, but I realize that there has been worse.
All these confirm the sneeky feeling that I have always had that Coach Hassan Oktay was given the job based on consideration of the first letter of his second name.
Poleni ndugu zangu for what you have been enduring while I was away.
@barefoot you cannot run away from the reality….Gor history is repeating itself. Do not blink. The days a sound sleep are over
BB i went to Kasarani to watch Gor Mahia play Mount Kenya, i was not disappointed when they were bundled out from Sport pesa cup by a team i heard about for the first time.
That coach has nothing truly.
May I register my support to both @janam , @jasego & those of the view that if Oktay has to go the entire technical bench must also go, they have become too comfortable & untouchable. Zico & his foot soldiers campainers wote inje.
Personally I don’t believe oktay is a bad coach, it happens at times, It didn’t work out for Kerr & Zesco coach in TZ, but they were successful in Kenya & Zamba respectively.The most important thing is we condemn this hooligans na in no uncertain terms
Yes Levelmind if Oktay has to go none remains behind. Full TB Clearance
What if Zico leaves so we see where the real problem is coz the other day someone was bragging here that he is a player capable of taking GM to nyasi if Zico is not elevated to be head coach, i sense a big hand of Zico in the current fiasco.
It’s ok Gor lost five matches last year but at what point Aduda should know that the matches Gor lost were inconsiquential because the trophy was already in the bag then now he’s referring to last year’s case. Oktay must pull up his socks otherwise things might not be very good for him by next week.
Nkata the homeboyz coach of KK has been caught fixing matches? Am I smelling something in the air similar at Kogallo? Aduda and sportpesa? Jasego en ango?
Against USM Algiers, we conceded the first goal from a corner. The same repeated itself against Lobi and again against the team from Cameroun. Then the annoying one against Mbao. What was the defence like? Shakava and his boys. Really, a good coach should have addressed that.
Sincere brothers go-slow we have received communication from machakos suspending pitch availability for our game for tomorrow against SoNy Sugar. We now have to go to Afraha in Nakuru. Kasarani is hosting Mathare vs Sharks so it’s unavailable. Let us breathe abit but i will not stop you from demanding justice from Aduda. Zico also must go as two coaches pulling differently cannot succceed in the same club
WHAT DOES HE WANT? AND WHAT IS HE PULLING AND TO WHERE? (ZICO)
After losing to Bandari Simba has fired their Coach
Ooh Laa la…..!! Am back to this wonderful site not after decamping to KAZIER CHIEF with @ The legend Sir Kerr according romours mills alluded by comrade and good friend the BANDIT (@BB). But after hibernating and hobnobbing with OLE the caretaker MAN U manager. His fantastic managerial skills and strategic tactics has made the very players MOU had neglected to revive and storm EPL within one month period. Now that is the biggest difference between the “SPECIAL ONE” ego-eccentric and an “ALL ROUNDER” engaging coach. Fans can now sing the GLORIOUS Man U again.
There was a time in our history when Gor Mahians did not expect success in continental competitions. To wallow in pessimism was the accepted norm. Trophies? Titles? They were for others, usually the reserve of the grandiose clubs of the Northern and western countries of African continent.
The CAF Cup was as elusive as the unicorn: talked about, looked at with wonder, pictured with others but never seen in this Kogalo nation by the Gor Mahians.A club like Gor Mahia, the nihilistic fans would say, would never reach the zenith of African club football. There was no bombast, no pea-cocking, just fatalism.
The iron-handed years of president MOI, whose dictatorial regime had crushed community clubs earlier limited the autonomy and completely ruined the spirit.
True, Kogalo had been able to sign football greats foreign players such as Abbey Nasur and Tim Ayieko, but only managed one quarter final in Con-Fed and Club-Champ finals — in 1976 and 1979 ending in undignified defeat.
But the turning point was in the 80’s — and specifically 1987 which was the day Gor mahia won its first continental Con-Fed Cup. That was the day the club, its fan base, and their love for football was transformed.
I hail the dream team….@ Abbas Hamisi Magongo alias “ORIEKO” a.k.a “ZAMALEK” may your soul rest in peace as we look forward to D-day on Sunday for the historic repeat of crunch match with our continental rival the untouchable NORTHERNERS .The Zamalek of Alexandria in Egypt.
The Trailer!! Now that you are tired of warming the bench, I know Zamalek is falling. Welcome back and happy new year.
Gor is yours no doubt so you are stakeholders but let us not bring down the castle in a fit of anger. When all seems lost Jasego goes to take charge of the team and actually even Zamalek i will arrange starting 11 without shakava and joash at the back. We will do changes that will make you happy. Muguna also will play tomorrow against SoNy to rake up match fitness. We must return to winning ways asap. K’Ogalo shall endure and survive this one too
@Jasego please keep to your LANE and stop interfering with the technical bench. Last time you accompanied the team to Enugu you promised heavens and we ended up with the most disastrous result. Now you are it again. PLEASE PLEASE STOP IT .Sani kendo isechako gi milruok mag dwanyo GOR.
Aloso koso aketho? Koro manaseweyo TB otii kendgi ni ere ber museyudo kose eka koro igowa kaa diel udoke bayo kite epap gikelo uneccessary bans on the club. Why not also talk about the 3-1 first leg i masterminded here at home against the same Lobi Stars you only dwell on the return leg that we lost? I am equal to the coaching job at GM such that if uncertainty looms and results go haywire aduogo seche goo mako team from behind the scenes…
NOTED @Jasego but i would prefer that you let Oktal to prove his coaching prowess without complaining about external forces. Kwani how long does it take Jaduong’ ni to know the strength and weakeness of his players?. Ngwech biro osiepa bed mabor gi TB.
Hehe sawa owadwa awinji ibo yanya nono kae seche ma matokeo otamre then ngwech ochakree. But Oktay Must change his fielding especially the centre back pairing of Joash and Shakava. I don’t like to interfere just that at times TB walo ga matek they leave me No Choice. He has to start delivering the results as from tomorrow or weche okbichalo nee
Osiepa, i echo the call that you stick to your lane! How did you hire a coach you admit not even interviewing? Why always retain a failure as the asst. coach? How do expect players to perform with salary delays/non payment? You seem part of the problem!
Osiepa Oduor12 likewise. I am not part of the problem but solution whenever GM gets stuck in a Quandary like now. Oktay was a sole candidate as he was the affordable choice so interviewing him was to gauge him against it vis a vis which other potential coach? I inspected and authenticated his papers and put him on probation before a contract was issued. Now when he gets stuck an i not help him taking that i know GM better than he ever will plus thise players majority i recruited so when he is at loggerheads with most of them and not utilising them to their strengths can i not help him out so he succeeds and Gor succeeds too in the process?
Useless talk indeed, real brokers in Gor Mahia.
Go arrange your house first bro
I think Shakava is not such a bad player but he surely need to rest, he needs a true self reflection given that:
-He is the captain
-The team is ever conceding especially at the continental level at home and GM managed a clean sheet away at Cameroon without him at the defense.
-He has lost his place at the National team.
-I and others are complaining.
I always believed and followed Jasego’s pieces of advice and his input towards the mighty kogalo but he seems to be part of the problems in gor now. Mr jasego we want an immediate overhaul of the TB,The so called favouritism at should sooner than later, we have gud players whose career are being destroyed under the watchful of this clueless TB.Mr Aduda kindly put our club at your heart before you get the fans wrath.otherwise we wait for tomorrow s match result
.
Ati Oktopus is not going anywhere? Guess what….Gor is going somwhere……Nyasi!
Shemeji, Zico tawe
@at player – let us deal with the coach. Now that you have showed us that you can peleka Gor Nyasi, you are putting the other players at risk.
If a player is not satisfied, read your contract and fine the best timing to leave.
@ojomondi..don’t be fooled…in this forum there is no Gor player.
Everyone in this forum is a mere blogger like you and me.
Nobody here has the power to dictate anything in Gor.Take that to the bank!!
I can tell you for a fact there is no Gor player in this forum.
No Gor player would talk the kind of trash this guy talks…
True Oswozo Moziek, and the way he is campaigning for Zico!
He is not informed of the guy’s history of coaching and player unrest.
He is not a player.
Gor Mahia youngster eyes more game time
Gor Mahia youngster Eliud Lokuwam has set his sights on becoming a regular starter at the club.
The forward emerged the top scorer at the inaugural Africa Students Football Union (ASFU) Invitational championship that ended on January 27 in Abuja.
The 21-year-old, while representing Kenyatta University, netted six goals to clinch the much-sought after golden boot.
Kenyatta University finished third after edging out Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) of Nigeria 2-1 in the third-place playoff last Saturday.
Lagos State University were crowned champions after stopping University of Development Studies from Tamale, Ghana by a solitary goal in the Saturday final.
The teams were pooled in two groups with the top two advancing to the knockout stage in the week-long tourney that kicked off on January 19 in Ibadan and Ijebu Ode, Abuja, Nigeria.
“It was a nice experience for me exploiting my potential fully by clocking 90 minutes in each game,” Lokuwam said after jetting back on Monday.
“I believe I am capable to doing more with enough playtime. The golden boot has motivated me to continue working hard for a starting berth at Gor Mahia.
“I want to improve from last season performance when I resume training with the team on Thursday,” added the third year Economics and Finance student at Kenyatta University, who scored two goals for K’Ogalo in all competitions last season.
A total of nine universities took part in this maiden championship aimed at breeding African student football champions who could compete with their counterparts at the World Students Football League according to the president of ASFU Prof. Seun Omotayo.
“The objective is to give opportunities for students with football skills to use their skills and talent to secure livelihood by being gainfully employed in the world of professional football,” Omotayo is quoted on Nigerian website Politicaleconomistng.
“ASFU provides opportunity to combine education and football and secure a future after retiring. Major among the benefits are the scholarship opportunities and enhanced chances of breaking into the world of professional football,’’ he outlined further.
Apart from Kenyatta University, Ghanaian University of Development Studies and University of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo were the other invited outside Nigeria.
Meanwhile as we continue gnashing our teeth with the unending sufferations caused by Francis Mustapha’s antics we continue letting such young talents slip away from our grasp. When i keep repeating that we need to rest aged players and give this boys a chance am told am demeaning legends. When together with Siang’a we scouted young boys from high school across the country and brought unknown young promising talents such as Anthony Akumu Agay..George Blackberry..Kevin Ade Omondi…Calabar Owino….Ali Abondo…Rama Salim…Edwin Lavatsa amongst others they were just unknown novices. I remember calabar warming the bench endlessly after coming in from Sher Karuturi until he got his chance and took it with both hands. I repeat GM needs rebuilding not recycling of old guards. The core of the team must be centred around young talented boys the likes we keep losing to other clubs needlessly due to starving them of game time and relegating them to oblivion
True, i also have a big question mark on these foreigners doing nothing at Gor mahia.
Anything foreign is not looking good at Gor, starting with head coach, then players, Could there be a problem with the way we engage “foreign”. Then “locals” from funs, assistant coach, players are putting negative energy in the team and sabotaging.
Leo ni kichapo tena.! Aol yawa
Wachana na maombi mbaya mbaya kama haya. Sasa team imeshinda. What do you have to say? Otherwise congrats to the team. Zamalek ilale.
Amor, Piny mor, Polo bende mor, For God and my beloved club – Kogallo
Some players are not improving at all!
Gor Mahia problems seem to recycle, we seem not to be having football issues but just politics on end.
There is one guy here calling himself gor player campaigning for Zico to be elevated to head coach, why would we have such talks or insinuations at such a time, could there be sabotage and dressing room incitements?
My legendary comrade, Kassam, there must be some truth in these roumors that Zico is back on his sabotaging antiques. Fans are very intelligent people and when they start saying such things they must be knowing what they are talking about. But then the head coach too leaves a lot to be desired. How does he field Kahata for a match despite his skipping training and bench good midfielders who have been attending training?
@jasego, the problen in Gm is fist the coach followed by our players look at Dylian Kerr who just joined the south african side and already he has been named the best coach of the month and here his predicessor oktay have faild to deliver good results and both of them took the job nearly the same month, we dont want gumblers Gm is not aplace to gumble, qualifying for group stages is not agurantee that he is agud coach, we want result. meanwhle Dan Sserunkuma is in his best form ever toping ugandan league table scorers can we bring him back bcz he is better off thoze foreingners am seeing gumbling at Gm i need an answer frm you?
Yes Obra all you say is True. Danny Muzeyi is still better than all foreign strikers at GM no doubt. It is time to re-think his comeback if circumstances allow. Signing time at GM is not usually easy bro but i will personally front his name and push his re-signing when the window opens. On Oktay even i disapprove his lack of clear formation and tactics he justs keeps doing gestures that can’t help kwa touchline. We will try help him kiasi but kama hasaidikii him and the entire TB wajae mbali na Mayienga tafadhali…
Someone had promised to send live a action from Afraha, Uko wapi?
GOR 1 SONY 0….. Halftime…..Jausenge
Gor 2
Sony 0
Both goals by Jausenge
Congrats team.
Why is Gor win over Sony not being published here more than 12 hours now?? Goal reports that gormahia has also been involved in match fixing and not only Hmbz.So this is why our defenders led by Shakava have been letting in easy goals and falling down deliberately like sacks of potatoes???? No wonder no club is interested in some gor players.This is so sad indeed.
