Reports: Michael Nam to coach on Saturday
After Frank Nuttall was sidelined by Gor Mahia officials, Michael Nam has been asked to take over as coach for Saturday’s Super Cup match against Bandari. This according to a report on futaa.com whic suggests that the club could not reach an agreement with either Frank Nuttall or Frank Ouna. Both coaches went for lenngthy periods without pay last season. Ouna at one point quit in frustration, only to come back.
According to club official Ronald Ngala, Nuttall had agreed to take a pay cut in December of last year. He agreed via e-mail correspondence. However multiple reports last season suggested that Nuttall never agreed to take a pay-cut.
“I’m unhappy with the coach’s behavior, going to public to announce we have terminated his contract yet we have not. We failed to agree on terms because his demands were too high.
“We told him in the process we don’t agree then he is free to seek employment elsewhere. In December he agreed to take a pay cut in an amount that he suggested and insisted be put in writing. Yes we agree he has done extremely well with the club but that doesn’t mean he takes advantage. You don’t dictate on your employer,” Ngala explained to Capital FM.
Nam most recently coached Talanta FC and before that he was at Karuturi Sports club. He was recruited by Gor Mahia prior to the arrival of Bobby Williamson.
Mo money, Mo problems.
Sportpesa deal must be dictating how much we should spend per mont and since the deal does not include payment of technical bench salaries. …The coach had to be fired.
Admin let the fans uunderstand this important facts and let’sgive options….The coach can take a pay cut and the fans set up a kitty to to top up nutall pay….
And you Ngala, who is your employer? Nothing is going to sink no matter how much you explain,bring back Nuttal
Bad decision.You fire an employee because of poor perfomance.The coach has done well and deserve a pay rise.With sportpesa sponsorship paying him should be possible.We buy a new player at 4million but want the coach to take a pay cut.Doesn’t make sense.Expect a thrashing tomorrow against Bandari who are currently very focused in their preparations.
jakoyo go tell ur stories to the birds…we will deal wid nam and rachier accordingly
ayie kodi baba
And Ngala stop dictating your employers too, No Nutall no match tomorow
@Agara, how will you stop the match tomorrow. Will you employ your own GSU?
JUST A STONE IS ENOUGH TO STOP IT,WE’VE EVER DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES.
Election Election be held immediately and new office bring back Nattal
No Natull no Gor mahia no league kick off Natull must come back or we shall raid your offices. infact we want Natull to be paid 1m salary with immediate effect
so @Jakorando how will you stop Tusker from playing Ulinzi and Sony from playing HomeBoyz? We are all equally sad from what is going on but sanity must prevail. I am sure even Nutall would like issues to be sorted out in an amicable manner and not the way you are advocating
#Bring Back Nuttal.
Nam I am giving you free advice not to takeover the reigns at Gor Mahia as you will bitterly regret the consequences that will come with it. Ask Zico what happened?
Inept office has done it again. In any organization, how do you fire a performing staff and replacing him with a nonentity who has never succeeded as a coach anywhere?
No Nuttal no DSTV match.
The happenings just shows why Ambrose Rachier failed in Gem parliamentary election due to poor management skills. Though you might have loads of money, management skills are very important in leading people and organisation.
Was the time right for firing the coach at this moment in time when the team is preparing to defend KPL, launch onslaught in CAF Champion, defend Top 8 and win DSTV Super Cup?
All these officials should be send packing for betraying the ethos of the club.
I had a sleepless night due to this poor decision. Some of us eat football, sleep football, think football and no single day can end without talking about Gor Mahia.
Why has Rachier gutted us?
I have paid KQ for my Mombasa trip in advance but now I am cancelling the trip all together.
Nam is not going to coach Gor, this is very unfair for Nuttal, someone who has given his heart to this club.
@ Sylvester. …understand first before you seek to be understood. Sportpesa deal does not pay technical bench so where do you expect money to come from if you don’t want to per take to other initiatives?
#BringbankNuttal
Jakoyo your name always betray you. Jakoyo as your name suggest we will also put some fire on you. Just like Ngala, get lost with your thick head.
Your said statement portrays you Jabaridi as thick head, airhead, blockhead, dimwit, dope, dork, dumbbell, dunce, imbecile, lamebrain, lunkhead, meathead, nitwit and simpleton.
@Jamigori, your language betrays your intellect. Read properly what @Jakoyo has written. I can now understand how we ended up with the same officials. A country/team deserves it’s elected leaders. Am sure a lot of level-headed members could not be elected because they decided to reason instead of yelling at the top of their voices.
When Kagere needed 4m everyone was silent yet we could easily fundraise that money. When players were boycotting only the few fans were available for them.
I hope you are a member of the SACCO
What about the gate collections that are now idle among other income from bread,tv rights ,well wishers ,pay bill and many more not forgetting the mercharndise.
We won’t take that crap lying down. Ppl the hash tag is #Nutallisgoingnowhere
I’m MOMBASA we plan to ensure Bandari gets a walk over . There is no need of sacking a coach who has even conviced players to play when they wanted to strike. Greed won’t be entertained. #Nutallisgoingnowhere
@Odiedo, Please let us know how you will do that. We are all agitated but it pays to reason as well as we wait to hear both parties. Am sure there is a lot we don’t know yet. But personally I know Nutall will be our coach this year
@jakoyo…stop trying to justify the sacking.regardless of whether the sponsorship cash is paying for the TB or not we can now afford to pay Nuttal
How have we been managing in the past??use a bit of common sense here!!
@ Oswozo. ..you demonstrate and cause chaos you will loose also the sportpesa sponsorship. You have lost the coach the next thing is please please don’t loose the sponsorship. ….let’s us seek to understand before we are uunderstood. I appeal to all reasoning kogallo fans if you think you are worth being called a fan…then suggest solutions.
my solution….bring back coach Nuttal….period!!!!!
Rachier told us on Tuesday at Nyayo stadium salary problem is now a thing of the past at Gor Mahia.How comes 2 days later they fire the coach?
This is absolute madness.I have personally cancelled my air ticket to Mombasa.What type of a coach do they want? Who want want to share the 50% of the coach’s salary? Why don’t they ask fans to contribute it then if the sponsor cant?
ALL KOGALO FANS TO COME IN LARGE NUMBER IN PEACEFUL PROTEST TO DEMAND THE RETURN OF NUTTAL, IF THERE WAS NO MONEY THEN WE COULD UNDERSTAND BUT NOW THAT WE HAVE SPONSOR, WHAT DOES OFFICIALS WANT TO DO WITH THAT ALL MONEY. KAMANIMBAYA NI MBAYA, GOR IS NOT A ONE FAMILY CLUB WE NEED OUR RIGHT. NO NUTTAL NO PEACE!!!!!!!!!!
WHO IS THIS JAKOYO?? WHAT IS HIS ROLE IN GOR?? WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF HIRING A CHEAP COACH AND LOOSE THE TROPHY?? DOES THIS JAKOYO KNOW THAT CHEAP IS EXPENSIVE??
@Jakoyo if our refusal to let go of Frank N. will mean we loose the sponsership then so be it.Kogalo is a community club and we the fans own it no one else.what coach frank has done no one will ever do.Nam or whatever your name is please you are being put on the lead in a battle field but on the enemies side.be a coward and run before the war starts.Coach Frank won’t go anywhere because we have the tyrany of numbers and we shall prove who decides what in Gor Mahia.Bogus Executive.NONSENSE!
IN THIS PERIOD IT WILL BE KNOWN IF GOR IS OWNED BY FANS OR A FEW INDIVIDUALS WHO CALL THEMSELVES OFFICIALS.
ARE U SICK U PEOPLE? THE LIKES OF NGALA U THINK U OWN GOR? IF U TAKE THE ADVICE AND THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE ENJOYED FROM US FOR GRANTED THEN ULL SEE WHAT OLWERU SAW AT MAYENGA, WELL DISCIPLINE YOU FAIRLY AND SQUARELY , DONT TRY EVEN IN A SINGLE DAY TO JOKE WITH A COACH OF NUTTAL CALIBER. NO NATAL FORGET PEACE EVEN THAT SPONSORSHIP WILL GO B4 APRIL.
Rachier is a lawyer who should know the legal consequences of breaching a contract.
What if Frank Nuttal report this to FIFA? Gor will still pay the entire amount plus 10% to January 2017.
Why did they hire him in the first place if they knew they are not able to pay him to the term?
We must come out and resist this unprofesional act.
What is Sportpesa role in this mess? You do not need Gor Fans as your enemies. Rachier et EC wake up from your cloud nine office and correct the mistake. Nam do not come to Gor. We do not want you.
Jakoyo,you are an imbecile,stupid EC sympathizer masquerading here as a liberal thinking mind but in real sense doing Rachier’s bidding.Nuttal will Not,Cannot and Must not go anywea,sponsorship or not we will not Agree to that Inept decision to stand.We cannot go the ingwe way bcoz Rachier and his useless Team want to play God,onge and that Man ATI chieth Nam don’t try taking to the touchline against Bandari 2moro,we will Step On your neck like a snake,be advised you are being set up for an acid test that might end your career prematurely…
WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED NAM? , GOR IS A BOVE YOU, DONT ALLOW THE DEVIL TO ATTEMPT U.TRY SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Nuttal has proven himself,how can he be fired while he stood with us when we were broke going months without pay and convincing players to do the same?Omera onge,stop nonsense,this useless EC with Officials like Anima Oketch Malaya who ate Innocent Wafula’s Dec salary by convincing him to loan her for a little while has led to his boycott coming back.Ronald Ngala & David Kiilo building houses Dala on the sweat of fans gate collections while we keep quiet,then now sacking Nuttal our Hero,that’s the last straw that broke the camels back.If they dint rescind that decision 2day kogalo we are sorry but tough times are looming wea we will raid the club,choma kila kitu,kanyaga kila ghasia called official and demand elections to put in place a new EC.All in all Nuttal stays or sponsor pulls out and kogalo doesn’t participate in the league on time.We ate arming,the choice is yours Rachier and dollosi company…
EC have thrown the fans into an improglio. Bring back Nuttal or find your own self into improglio
What advantage is he taking? Were you mad when you were signing the original contract yet Gor Mahia had lesser income than now. Give Nuttal his contract as it was. You have the money now and you will still get gate collections. Your behaviour “Ngala” shows some level of sabotage. Why reduce his pay yet you have 50 million you never had last year. You also have Elliots at double what you were getting from Good Bread. Stop this nonsense or quit and leave other people to run the club.
Nam plz dont dare come to Gor or you are tired of Life. Nutall is our coach and no one else plz Rachier give Natull 1M salary with immediate effect ama we be burnt from KPL sir
Slyvester, Niko my friend, saddened by the maddness of the bloated EC but am happy the 3 dinosaurs of football Blatter, Nyamweya and Rachier are at the brink of extinction and i totally concur with sentiments that we can’t lose Nutall We Would Lose Rachier & his cohorts
Let all Gor Mahono fans converge in Mombasa and ensure no Nutal no football, and operation Rachier out, we cannot do without Nutall, and wuod JODHIWA don’t rest in your grave coz this is life and death, i’ve loved Gor since my first day in this world and nobody, i repeat nobody can and will ever do this to Gor Mahono. Rachier mambo ni mbili Nutall ama Prof. Nutal. I’m insane i can’t even think straight, yawa magi to ango, Routh kechwa, kare wangi satende ei EC ka moloyo jachien ma obel.
When I read the news yesterday evening I thought I was in a reveree. This is utter nonsense. A performing staff has never been told to take a pay cut. What is the meaning of staff appraisal? We have the Elliots bread deal and gate collections (two home matches per month), which can generate enough money to pay the TB. Nam took Karuturi to relegation yet you want to hire him. Is that the reason there were rumours of Okumbi joining the TB last year. KPL talked of stamping hooliganism last week yet its chair wants to abet the vice. The EC should tell us how much they earn for us to compare notes then decide who to take a paycut.
Something does not add up
NAM AENDE A COACH TU HUKO KWAO, HAPANA TAMBUA KABISAAAAAAAAAA. # BRING BACK NUTTALL
ABOMINATION!!
who is this ngala…kwani if someone perfone well do u reward tht person by firing him mm jowa magi to ngaa
This pepole (EC) are blafing, how much does Ngala earn? And this Num whatever is another Moyes. Thanks for bring trouble EC
@jkajuks. ..kogallo is a community club and we fans own it ? So go ahead and pay the technical bench salary if that ‘community’ can afford it .aren’t we the same people who have asking for sponsorship?. Aren’t we the same people who don’t want to pertake other initiatives.? Aren’t we the same fans that glorified rachier for 2 years when he was paying for mafia straight out of his pocket?
I repeat. .Please seek to understand before you are understood. Remember JBO left because we could afford to pay him, kagere left because we could not afford him, ouna left because we could not afford him and the list was many……now Nutall. Serenkuma
Left and we thought the world was over.
Yes amazingly we won trophies without all this people before they came and we can win it again now that they have all gone and we have sportpesa sponsorship. .MESSAGE. .THE CLUB IS BIGGER THAN ANYBODY ELSE
HOW SURE ARE YOU THAT RACHIER IS BEEN PAYING BILLS OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET OR HOW EASY IS IT TO CARRY THE WHOLE COMMUNITY ALONE.THESE ARE JUST TRICKS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PLAY TO MILK OUR BELOVED CLUB.
Abomination!!!! a million times. Ok timre, eieiei, eeeeeih yawa tho, wuod DHIWA to ma kaka rachier dwani otieki, wangni to tek, wangni to lich, to kare rachier ok ongeyo GOR maber, odhi openj ANYUMBA, DAN MISIGA et al. I’m still insane, infact i’m having a drink coz you’ve spoilt my day, but Mombasa i’m coming as i can’t allow this, not now not ever.
Rachier should set up a committee to look at Nuttal/EC grievances . Let the committee make final decision wether Gor should let the coach go or wether he is affordable. Any contract shud be tied to Africa Champions league performance.
@Dinga, looks like you are the only sober head around. From what I hear Nuttal is demanding almost 50% of the Sportpesa money,. Could be true or not but that should not happen. Players should come first in any team. But we still need him but all guys should cool down and sober up. When we brought up the SACCO, bread, 30100 very few members took the initiative. That should be the money to top up Nuttal’s salary
Dan original, this is another cheap politic of demanding 50%. Who is misleading you and you the gut to report this nonsense. I have divorced my support for Ambrose Rachier now and going forward if Nuttal is not reinstated, the bloated EC should expect equal force of wrath of the fans.
People like Ngala, jack orowe, Kilo etc that joined Gor Mahia when poverty was their forenames are now living large courtesy of gate collections and wellwishers’ donations. When Gor won top 8 tournament in Kisumu, jack orowe and kilo ran with the trophy all the way to Homo Bay Gov. Awiti’s office begging for money which they pocketed. This is how they want to run the mighty Gor Mahia.
@Jamigori, relax. No need to pull hairs. Always try to look at the two sides of the coin. According to the EC Nuttal wants to be paid 770,00/= KES and 250K house allowance and that both parties are still negotiating. And moreover some of these things happened before SportsPesa came on board. This is a common thing between employer and employee so no need to threaten each other.
Where is @Kosero who is always a voice of reason, as well as @Mwakio?
Why should fans contribute without any accountability and transparency. Where are books of the account? When was the last audit done?
We had wuod Awasi as the treasurer. He started very well at the beginning but faded away like ice after joining the crooks and thugs at the EC.
“Enough is enough and not even Alex Ferguson will be allowed to coach Gor Mahia at this hour of time. We are ready to deal with any coach, seen near the team,” an agitated fan wrote on the team’s facebook wall.
So the plot is to scuttle the Tech Bench, control it and have a say in bringing their relatives to the playing unit, with or without proved ability. It is curious that this should happen when money for players’ salaries is now available. It is either a job for their relatives or a job and playing time being given to the highest bidder. We are back to our old ways. All this is thanks to idlers in the bloated cabinet……mara Basic Assistant Organizing Secretary, mara Gross Assistant Organizing Secretary, mara Net Assistant Organizing Secretary……The only thing they organize best is how to fire a coach who in truth deserves a pay increase.
Ayeeh, thiga omochezo. Nyokoembere. #bring back Nuttall
@Jakoyo sorry to let you down brother because the only thing i will understand is Nuttal being on the touchline.you will never convince me on this one.we own gor i repeat na si tafadhali.
Rachier and his cohorts have now displayed to the Mighty Team fans his side of being a hyena.What he should be made to understand is that to propel himself to Gem politics depended on how he is managing this great club.He has now written his name in the obituary books by acting in this lunatic manner.
NAM plz plz plz keep away from Gor Mahia touchline this is now a weighty issue that we want to deal with until Mr FRanco Natull wuod Rachar comes Back on the line. we are also investigating the people behind this then we will meet in the field to show them where tthey belong with their cruked ways of operation.Natull you did well to inform us
Guyz,I thought I was alone on this.This sacking thing almost caused me a heart attack last night.I googled futaa.com before i went to bed and what i got rudely shocked me.kweli ahsante ya punda ni mateke.Rachier idwoka a ebayo kidi to yande ase weyo.Adhi Mombasa tonight and I fear ni anyalo timo gima rach sana.I am at total loss.Nuttal was my hero and he remains so.Awuoro sana.
Ooh…Laa…. la..!! #@BRINGBACKNUTTAL..!! … WHAT GOOD WAY FOR AR INCITE FANS
Quite sometime now since i lastly used this famous phrase………..”Ooh ..Laa….la…!” ..AND did i hear or read somewhere that “JALUO OKSECHI… Then who will blink first…. Bring it ON..AR & Co..
@ Barefoot Bandit please just do the needful in Mombasa Mbaraki grounds. STOP THAT MATCH BY HOOK or CROOK. We the Nairobians are eagerly waiting for Nam and the EC at Camp Toyoyo.. … We want to FRY them one by one… That is JERICHO ESTATE wihin EASTLANDS PERIOD…!!
To Ambrose Rachier and his bloated executive committee; be warned that WE the “OWNERS” of this club have the ways,means,ability,power and might to DESTROY all the achievements gathered in the last half a decade within some split seconds. IT IS EITHER NUTTAL or YOU guys should just quit unceremoniously. If NUTTAL is not around then CAF and FIFA will now know our true colours. STUPID EC and thieves who want milk SportsPesa and gate-collection. You are in 4 it.
@Kosero, never heard you worried, For me personally I know Nuttal will be back. What is happening here is like during the Coalition govt. Everyone is pulling on their side to get an advantage. At some point the two will strike a middle ground. Even at work when some employees realizes that they are the most valuable assets they start demanding more. That is common but let’s know that the players too need better salaries. The problem with Gor is that it has no professional PR person. That task is too big for Ngala and should be outsourced or have a competent professional to handle.
This is actually a good test to see how we react with a sponsor on board. How maturely do we handle our internal problems. Those advocating for chaos yet when the players were boycotting because of salaries should think twice. We can have a peacefull protest to force the office to do what we want but how many of us can do that?
there is more to this story than the money issue. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Something tells me somebody does not want Nutall at Gor Mahia for personal vendetta.
Supersport has just increased its grant to 8M per month. Gate Collections at 2M per month. Elliot’s bread and now sportspesa. Surely, you can’s convince me that we cannot pay FN 1M per month if we wanted to.
@Dan their are so many was fans can do it but we are only saying one thing, “BRING NUTALL BACK” we are very humble and may not want to bring disorder in the gor mahia fraternity but on this no way, the same way Gor is bigger than any individual is the same way its bigger than the Ec they are not exceptional
After landing a lucrative shirt sponsorship deal with sports betting giant “Sportpesa”, KPL reigning Champions Gor Mahia are set to secure a four year kitting deal with Italian Sportswear Company “Legea”. “Talks are almost done, we just waiting to sign the deal. It’s a four year deal, which will see the company fully kit
!!..”Ooh…Laa…La….. Nice to hear that Frank Nuttal has been re-instated and is currently preparing the team in Mombasa. Now i have officially dis-registered myself from “HOOLIGANISM” branch.
The Trailer are you serious? That would be the best news ever….otherwise I had finalized my plans of relocating my family away from the chaos and tear gas of Mbaraki that would definitely have been turned into a battlefield.
Yes the Bandit it is true from very reliable sports journalist that Frank Nuttal has been sweet-talked and is already air-borne to Mombasa, but the EC has been cajoled and AR can not make it official.
But be careful just in case Frank Nuttal fails to appear prior to the kick-off. Stay away from Mbaraki grounds because it will be a double tragedy ” SPONSORSHIP & FKF polls” is what we want to MESS beyond any reasonable doubt. AR & Co are the target.
If it is true, I too dissociate myself from hooliganism. This will be good news to me and I will sleep like a baby.
For a long time i doubted AR’s firmness and acumen in managing football especially GM until we lost the Tuzo sponsorship.
I began respecting when he mobilized resources to run GM in absence of sponsorship.
I don’t know know who advises him sometimes. Now why this Nuttall goof at a time he is vying for FKF office? And why again immediately after securing two sponsorships… the Sportpesa and kitting from legea? AR needs to dissociate from some Company lest he loses many honours just at the final bend.
I tend to think some people at the EC are out to bring back hooliganism by such unnecessary incitement over money issue.
Thanks Oduor12, we would like to hear more from you.
Anyway, not sure if coach Nuttal has been reinstated but lets hope its so.
Greed for money is the real problem, how comes there were no issues when gor had no sponsors
@ Barefoot Bandit…..Ooh Laa la..” It is official Frank Nuttal has been Re-instated” Read below excerpt from ……. GOAL.COM..
” K’Ogalo officials have opened negotiations with Scottish tactician in a bid to overturn decision to sack him on Thursday
Gor Mahia FC have bowed to pressure by fans and are now holding negotiations in a bid to bring back coach Frank Nuttall.
A close source within the club has revealed to Goal that talks between the two parties – club and the coach – are underway and a deal could be reached before close of business.
“Yes…Nuttall is supposed to travel to Mombasa for weekend match against Bandari but as we speak, our officials have been talking with his (coach) representatives to have a solution reached.”
The source added, “Nuttall is ready to sit and discuss the issue and Gor Mahia officials have also accepted because the pressure from fans is too much to handle. By the look of things the sack will be overturned and don’t be surprised to see him taking charge against Bandari on Saturday.”
More to follow………………
We are still waiting for EC to reinstste Nuttal with a pay rise.We have a sponsor now ot was the announcement fake?
Latest development has it that Nam refused to travel with the team to mombasa owing to anticipated fan violence that might target him on the touchline. Obondo and Ogweno have been asked to take charger but apperently couch Nutall might travel and appear on the touchline instead.
nam no to nga ma nade plz dont avail your sefl tommorow mombadha
