Logarusic’s conditions for returning
Courtesy of the Standard
Every time Gor Mahia coach Zradvko Logarusic goes on holiday doubts emerge on whether he will come back.
It is not different this time again after the coach failed to return as expected yesterday and, instead, wrote an email to club chairman Ambrose Rachier complaining about a number of issues including lack of a formal contract.
Logarusic, who also expressed fears over his future at the club, claiming that a section of its officials would want to see him go, further insisted that he wants a return ticket to Croatia in case he falls out with Gor before the season ends.
He also revealed that the club has never got him a work permit and has always lived in Kenya on a tourist visa.
“Dear chairman, I send you a copy of my tourist visa and a copy of my plane ticket to confirm that your coach does not have a work permit and has been operating here as tourist.
“I don’t know whether your officials understand that for one holding a tourist visa, they are required to hold a return ticket because I have tried to sort it out with them in vain,” said part of Logarusic’s email written to Rachier.
The Croat claimed part of Gor Mahia officials have always stood on his path to get a new contract after allegedly boycotting the signing of a new one.
“In this regard I cannot risk coming back to Kenya without a return ticket because if half of the office don’t want me anything can happen.”
Contacted, Rachier, while admitting that club does not have a formal contract with Logarusic, assured that they are working on the same and the delay was occasioned by failure to agree on some issues.
Formal contract
“We are yet to sign a formal contract with the coach this time around because he brought up some issues which were not in his previous contract. We have not agreed on these issues and once that happens, the signing can go ahead,” said Rachier.
But Rachier, a Senior Counsel, said the club has so far met all their obligations with the coach as per what was agreed on.
“A contract does not always have to be written. We agreed on some things and, as a club, we have gone out of our way to fulfill them. We don’t owe him anything,” said the Gor official.
Rachier, however, dismissed claims that Logarusic does not have a work permit pointing out that the club always gets one for him whenever he is in the country.
He said the club does not have a problem with Logarusic and is ready to bend over backwards to accommodate him.
“As the chairman of the club, I want to say that we have no problem with him. If he feels that some people don’t want him there is no way I can tell for sure,” said Rachier.
Am sick upto my neck? Whats is this, who is in charge now and can we for once look forward rather that backwards. It is such a bad,sickening reading,everyday uncertainty in the Kogalo ship!!!! It reeks of ineptitude all round. We support the club with all our heart and yet this is the heartache that it always comes to. Where is the EC? Deny,deny and deny all the time, that appears to be what you were elected to do?
Why don’t you make a decision on this coaching issue once and for all and then move forward? Every serious team is currently looking forward to the new signings and to the weekend assignments.We seem to have forgotten the target that we set for this year, to win the league and are just fumbling along. Such a big club? Naaaaaaa, NO NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!!!
I think it is high time EC sits down and makes a firm decision on how to run the club smoothly and professionally. How do you expect the coach to work without a contact?
Decide if it’s Logarusic; if he’s not the best choice you want then fire him instead of making verbal commitments which are never fulfilled, then each time he he is supposed to come back, he gives conditions which at the end of the day bring unnecessary frictions and inconveniences everyone. Anything good in this world you have to pay the price; same to a good coach
Secondly, on the signing it looks like there was no list left by Logarusic and the technical bench seems to be doing a trial and error kind of a thing. I hope these signings are going to be utilized fully or rather let me put it plainly – I hope these signings are going to add value to the team but not just waste resources like we’ve witnessed previously.
This coach needs to go. If not for footballing reasons then for cash issues. Have you thought of the fact that a poor club like Kogalo will pay six million to this guy without thinking of what the other technical bench members get.
@Oduor 12 always says we need to reduce our office and we don’t take the advice. What will they eat if Loga takes 6M?
In January, when we had these Loga issues, all believed that the matter was sorted. Why did he accept to work without a contract for six months? Why didn’t he ever shout he was a tourist then? Whose names did he give for recruitment when he wasn’t even sure of returning?
My opinion is that Loga’s contract is clearly tied to the Tuzo deal. Until the deal is signed the club cannot afford this coach. Loga seems to know this fact and that’s why he has been working without a signed contract.
Wololoyayeeee…. Logas picture above says it all. The man just wants “one” Woman as a condition for his return! Look at his finger and smile! Patiya yeye Akinyi and he will be back!
All these are sideshows. Let the coach adjust his zip upwards and maintain it there.
for me the buck stops with the EC.They are the ones who control everything in Gor!They owe it to us…shareholders and stakeholders to put our house in order.Our position in the club should not be taken for granted.EC….sort out the mess that Gor is in now!!!!
Am sure all the previous coaches never had contrtacts. Now the EC has found its match. Since this is the norm and Bobby can work without a ‘contract’. Why don’t we let Loga go at least for the sake of calm within the club. The truth is that with Loga’s demands the TPL trophy is the minimum we as fans will settle for but with Bobby we will accept whatever result. I think there is already bad blood with the EC and the best Loga can do is to seek another team, unfortunately Ingwe and HS are already taken. I don’t regret having supported him but now he is too much. Is it because he has realised that the year’s performance is worse than last year when he took over? Matano took over from Pamzo last year and won, why not Bobby? But will the EC give him the space? As fans we can give him all the support he needs
pls note that you will chase away loga but the nxt coach will get the same treatment from this inept EC. i am note out to defend loga but pls take note of the issues loga is raising. when the late wangari mathai stopped the building of moi’s tower of babel at uhuru park, mp’s were give to point out that what she was a devorcee and alot of unnecessary crap. so pointing out that loga should go coz of allegations of tuning chicks is quite low. loga is however pointing out the conditions at which he is working. so EC, you guys claim that loga has a contract.
– are contracts given to tourists?
– is logar lying about the work permit?
– is the return ticket issue a lie?
so EC, what you thnk you can do to logar ,unfortunately will be done to the nxt coach.
so guys before you vilify logar, ask yourself wether the EC knows how to manage contracts and the club in general. kenyan coaches situation is a good example to go by… each coming in thnking things will be. different.
This is the kind of circus we do not want.How about the EC give us the official and final position so that we can fully concentrate on matters football!!
Mambo bado,these guy is just cunning he has known that he is not succeding in what he promised now he is creating a situaion of confusion so that he can get a leeway to run away.I said it before now u can see,these guy is not a coach period
coach sld stop confusing us, he knows that he is not going 2 succedding his promiss 2 funs let him go
I like loga style.He knows how motivate players,he can fight for them at times of need,he can substitute to discipline a player who is not using his brain, he can work up the fans and sides shows create good news for the media.He knows his rights. Luo inside. Bwana bring this man back.Just give him a return ticket, work permit and 5 matches performance contract.
Am looking at it from another angle.
Maybe good ol’ logar just wants to save his marriage which looks like it’s in tatters.
The missus might have heard of the logs’ sexual escapades in kenia, and when the mzee went back the wifey told him “ukirudi kwa hao malaya wako nairobi, mimi pia narudi kwetu”.
So the mzee has been forced to stay back in croatia, and look for whatever he can do there.No more foreign jobs for him!!!
Good ol’ loga, just wants to salvage his marriage which seems like is in the rocks.
Seems like the missus heard of the logs’ sexual escapades in kenia.
On going back home, this is what the mzee was told by the wifey,”Ukirudi huko kenya kwa hao malaya wako mimi pia naenda”, (of course in croat).
So the coach has to look for whatever job he can get in croatia.No more foreign jobs or jobs requiring travels for him!!!!
All these are propaganda ,let this man call Loga to go ! we cant afford to run abig club like Gor mahia on a Fibre network with coach .he is Dictator , stubbon ,and may be not happy at Gormahia ,in the history of football in the whole world , i have never seen these propaganda , next will be House ,not apartment , then salary ,We Jack Johnsons , lehn Julius and we got trophies , please ,the ceo dont beg for this man , let him GOOOOOO!
I also have another perspective. For loga’s safety let him go because love triangles are very risky ventures and he may soon be paying the heavy price. Otherwise to me he doesn’t deserve a contract if any case so far.
I thought Mr Bwana emphatically confirmed that Luosickling would be arriving back in Kenya on Saturday the 15th So that he handles transfer issues of players. Was he sleepwalking at noon when the sun was at its highest????Who gave him this information???? he must then be a gossipmonger????
Ooh Laa la..!!! ” THE COACH CUM SEXY-MANIAC TOURIST”
Logarusic please zip up and stay put in croatia. You are no longer wanted back by K’Ogalo fraternity for your own safety.
You must zip so tightly and think of your safety at the same time. Otherwise your balls in between your legs will be kicked very hard by the same “Rotten Potatoes” for snatching their WAGS.
PLEASE RELAX AND TRY YOUR COMICS ELSEWHERE BUT NOT K’OGALO
BYE LOGARUSIC & I WISH U ALL THE BEST IN YOUR FUTURE PLANS.
Amen
loga,loga the like of bwana and loga are disgrace to kogallo
