Sportpesa suspends sponsorship of Gor Mahia and AFC
Unruly fans have once again put the club in a tight financial spot as betting firm sportpesa has announced the suspension of its sposorhip for Kenya’s two biggest clubs.
Additional reporting from futaa.com
Betting firm SportPesa has announced its suspension of sponsorship for local football giants Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards.
SportPesa Chief Executive Officer Ronald Karauri made the terse announcement on Tuesday afternoon at a high powered press briefing citing hooliganism which he said is tainting their brand.
“Its not an easy decision but one which we have taken.Tough decisions at times force changes.We need to do something drastic.”
Karauri was flanked by FKF president Nick Mwendwa,KPL chief Jack Oguda and Supersport General Manager Auka Gecheo.
FKF on its part announced that clubs that perpetrate hooliganism will from now henceforth suffer heavy penalties including relegation for repeat offenders ,monetary fines and docking of points amongst others.
While issuing the statement, Sportpesa CEO Ronald Karauri termed it as unfortunate that it had come down to the tough decision hence placing the stakeholders under such circumstances but insisisted that it was time we do something to curb hooliganism which the company fully supports.
However his statement had a lifeline for the clubs with an indication that the package may be reinstated as soon as possible depending on the two club’s official meetings with the company.
Meeting
-We have summoned the officials of the teams to meet within the week and we will reinstate this sponsorship once we are satisfied that actions are being taken to curb this vice that has gripped football, he said.
-Sponsors will not just sit back and watch as our brand is tarnished. I think we have done so much to enhance security but all these will be in vain if the teams cannot control the fans, he added.
In the presser, the Football Kenya Federation [FKF] also stipulated rules to curb hooliganism in the country with Sportpesa CEO Ronald Karauri referring to the Saturday 16th April’s match pitting Gor Mahia away to Tusker FC at the Nyayo National Stadium.
On the stated match day, the match was forced to stop for a moment after referee awarded the Brewers a penalty and the match pitting AFC Leopards against Ulinzi Stars on Saturday 23rd April where fans’ protest forced match officials to call it a day on the match’s 80th minute.
The sponsorship for both teams (AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia) were to run for five years from 2016.
AFC Leopards and Gor bring more fans to the stadium than all the other teams combined. Having, said that, both of these two teams get the same cheque as sony, Muhoroni, H’boyz etc at the end of each month. The unfair distribution of funds by KPL coupled with the high demand for security (due to high number of fans) forces these two clubs to hire unprofessional stewards instead of well trained security officers and end up finding themselves in trouble. It is time for both clubs to say enough is enough and demand a better package based on their fan base in order to pay some of these pressing needs (such as security )
@Ingo I do concur with you. If we can all remember that this Sportpesa locked out Betway from sponsoring both Gor Mahia and AFC Ingwe when they heard from other sources that Betway will be sponsoring both Gor Mahia and AFC. Our officials fails to read between the line on Sportpesa which is just a local entity with owners known where they are coming from.
The two clubs could have gone with Betway due to international appeal and network that have have helped and exposed our players to EPL. Betway is the main sponsor of West Ham.
Threats in this modern age of competition does not augur well with the game of football. Instead of helping the two clubs in curbing hooliganism, FKL, KPL and Sportpesa are busy gunning up to punish the great clubs. What is needed is sobriety in curbing hooliganism but not threats and Sportpesa as well as other stakeholders need to come up with a broad approach on how this menace can be curbed.
I know that there are plans to destroy non institutional clubs particularly Gor Mahia and AFC. This plans will not work even if they give Tusker and Mathare Kpl league through the backdoor.
Fans need to stand firm and say big no to intimidation.
We have seen worse cases of hooliganism in countries like Turkey, Greece, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and even Brazil but such act of threats have never been the case. Hooliganism used to be very high in countries like England and Italy but all stakeholders came up together with ways of reducing the menace and they succeeded but still there are isolated cases of hooliganism in these countries.
Kpl, FKL, Sportpesa, Sports Ministry, internal Security and other stakeholders need to borrow a leaf from England, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands on methodologies of reducing all forms of thuggery and hooliganism both in the stadium environ and outside along the streets.
The sport is one of the way of giving jobs to youths and reduction of criminal activities associated with youths and young people with excess energy. We can keep our youth from social crimes such as drugs addiction, bhangi smoking, robbery with violence etc through sports.
I do not support hooliganism and threats with no basis foundation. Club can identify the culprits but can’t prosecute the culprits as the clubs do not have mechanisms of doing it. Sportpesa has continued to dominate sponsorship of football which is really against the Competition and Monopolies Act. Can lawyers look at this act and advice the two clubs. We all need a level playing ground for sports to thrive but not monopolistic attitude which has been adopted by KPL in meaning football activities in the country. Monopoly has no place in modern open market practice where competition is allowed to thrive.
Look at Sportpesa sponsorship money allocations by Kpl to Gor Mahia and AFC clubs with huge fan base. It is pity that the two clubs are getting peanuts as the sharing allocation is lopsided.
Wea there’s real football there is fans,wea there is fans there is passion,wea there’s passion there’s emotions…Such is the world of football.SportPesa understand this or go sponsor FkF teams/league.Jaluo Oksechi
Okwabilamo Sportpesa. Ok gin Nyasaye. Waliposikia Betways wakaruka hapa sasa kila siku ni lecture to Gor mahia and Afc fans. Akiani waruinge nyinge oruenya owetugo juok gor. Gimoro amora tinde en holigans kata go bul e pap. Ni Jaro Soja en goon. Ok wadwar achae manono.
The Chairman Rachier should also stop talking about hooliganism on every Gor mahia occasion. It only confirms to sportpesa that they are dealing with hooligans. We cannot go out of our way to please a sponsor.
So now Sportpesa wants to dictate demeanour,behavior,character and dressing that suits their brand on gor/afc fans?Hiyo haiwezi kuwa,Our brand is playing Football and winning trophies as opposed to betting and entertaining useless match officials like they would wish us to…
To koro chalna ni jogi emanomiyo Jotend jogor chando Frank Otieno wuod Natal. Pod litna ndi.Kik gichier juokwa. juokwa kia ngato.
As sportsPesa and the federation comes up with all those sanctions,let them also tell us what sanctions they will give to corrupt/biased match officials who more often than not are the reasons behind dissent on the pitch as has been the case in the Gor game.
Match fixing by the refs will now be very easy coz they know they are now “protected”!!
Oswozo Moziek, these referees are not bias, these referees are paid hefty bribes by Sportpesa to manoeuvre the results of our matches. Who can’t resist a bribe in Kenya these days?
They have a right to demand proper behavior, they are in business. Let’s be very careful about what we say on such matters, I will urge everyone who cares about the future of these clubs and more importantly welfare of the poor players to jealously defend these sponsorships. Again we need understand the social environment in which the two clubs are operating. Remember you have enemies every where. You are not so much loved by people of different divides, and the more you sink down the drains the happier they are.
Anyclub in the world with many fans do experience chaos at times, even Nigerian national team recently when played agains Egypt experinced this when fans invaded the field in protest aginst poor officiating by the refaree. The best solution that i can guarantee sportpesa is simple and clear, we as fans we’re soon going to start watching Gor and AFC matches on screen because as soon as fans attend matches from the pitch then they will automaticaly reacts to poor officiating that Kenyan refarees are known for. I want to quote one Luo proverbs that states that “WUON ONGET KATA DHOGE DUM TO OK KWER, KIWUOYO TO ININDO KOYO” We are not even allowed to cough because we are being sponserd!!!!!! Ningumu hii.
Nick mwendwa can we have all betting in kenya not putting kenya teams in there betting sites,and to kpl can we good referee who can officiate our matches…hoolinganism will come to an end day,and to sportpesa you the cash to hire security for these two teams.manze on serious note to hooligans noma ikitokeacan we have walewameshikwa to pay thedamage charged to the team.
they are in business of betting and not the business of dectating fans behaviour. This happens in the world all over and they should not form thetrend of dectating us. we will not allow it around so they be careful. Of course we know how to behave and we would also want to be seen doing well with behaviour but not when incompetent referees employed by FKF touch our feet on the wrong way. we will be sorry when refs give penalties that are uncalled for.
SPOT PESA wants FIX Matches. If Gor and AFC are strong that will be a sure bet and they would be bound to pay because of less odds
It is now clear the referees are given specific instruction to ensure the gamblers do not win even if it means making decisions that are unsporting. They have clear instructions to fix matches And this is what is creating a serious problem an hooliganism who still want to have the beautiful game decided on the pitch
For sport pesa to force clubs to behave in the way they want and deny them money, they are in effect FIXING matches. They will fix matches right from FkF – Nick Mwendwa, Referees and even influence players “kando” to give them the results they want and not for nothing. FKF and Sport Pesa will soon be fixing matches if they are not doing so already.
If they have a brand that is not compatible with football, they should ship out. ASAP. Where was this brand before the sponsorship anyway. Do such yester company who just want to ride on AFC and GOR brand even pay for goodwill? AR please let us know. They can keep their brand and they keep theirs.
I am shocked by the kind of incoherent and illogical comments coming through on this matter. We appear to be mixing very many issues in this otherwise simple thing. My brothers (and sisters?) are we saying that we have a right to behave in any way we like just because we have a club to support? And that it also happens in other places? And that there is poor officiating? And also that you “love” your team so much so that you do not want to be corrected? Oooh naaaa, come off it. That’s what I call nonsense.
Sportpesa could very well move out today and the world moves on leaving you people standing there in great angst ruing and cursing the gods for not guiding willing sponsors your way. I doubt if any right thinking sponsor will as much as want to touch these teams with a 10 m long rod. Remember, on our own, we have tried all sorts of ventures to raise money for the team in the past and none of them succeeded.
This is what I think. I expect attacks from all corners.
What if in our political environment hired fans do the damage for political reasons?
Ja Thur Gi Ji…On this specific one 2day I must confront you directly.No one is saying we condone bad behaviour but look @ it in context,why do fans get agitated,is it not coz of inept and poor officiating?We are saying this happens the world over,even England but you don’t hear of talks of Relegating Clubs due to fan trouble being adopted by the English FA.Who doesn’t know FkF President Nick Mwendwa wants Kariobangi Sharks promoted by any means to top flight football and in this scenario he has a perfect cover?We are saying like in any profession we have occupational hazards,in football its usually fan trouble but SportPesa won’t make Saints of every Gor/Ingwe fan just because they sponsor the teams.People differ world over in character & how they react to situations & SportPesa must know this
Am shocked of how some bloggers talk like kindergarten kids. Lets be real Gor has the enemy within. I will support any form initiated to curb hooliganism, it is really pathetic how some one calls himself a true fan can smoke bang in the stadium, how truly can one be able to watch a march when intoxicated? Our behaviors are archaic in and outside the stadium. We see always the so called fans drinking and carrying some cheap spirits on their way to the stadium, can such person be able to accept referees decisions based on the circumstances under which it was called during the match?… Am urging all K`Ogallo fraternity that we diversify our thinking in term’s of the future of the club before and smoke these guys in our midst before they wretched havoc in this great club…. Otherwise hi mambo ya ati tulishinda bila sponsors is an old obsolete song tune.
sportpesa are in the business of betting and we are not in the business of begging. these things happen in world over and we dont see withdrawal of sponsors , we only get this from kenya. we are tired of begging .CEO of this co. is a kikuyu the linesman who did the tribal mistake is a kikuyu what do we expect. awacho ayweyo tho.
Do you guys know what u r talking about?Really?65million pulled out and you say u won’t beg sportpesa?you have already forgotten where came from?you have also forgotten that gor mahia now have resources to hire the best coaches and players to compete with the likes of Tp-mazembe,Raja Casablanca,Al Hilal and the rest in signing and playing?you guys really mean okusechi?meaning u r ready to go back and start begging politicians?.I can only deduce the following;
1)you have lost yuor senses and are now being driven by emotions.
2)You don’t have gor mahia and it’s future at heart.
3)You do not know what sponsorship means.
4)sad to that we Luos are still too primitive to run any success full venture coz we are overridden by very useless pride.in other words we are no.1 enemy of this glamorous club.
Do not bring Luos on this matter Joods. Do not be foolish like the biblical foolish woman that failed to carry enough oil. If you are primitive, blame it on your parents but do not blame it on the community.
if it is wrong for him to call Luos primitive, then you are also wrong for calling him foolish. Those fans who cause mayhem while saying Gor don’t need a sponsor yet they don’t pay gate charges are primitive…….so am also wrong!!!! Now where are the aspirants, I expect them to continue declaring their interest in various positions during the forthcoming Gor Mahia elections.
Can you open your ears of understanding to understand my posting? Not all Luos support Gor Mahia and the term Luos is used in a very say. You can’t say primitive Luos if you are not foolish. You need to be taught by your parents to avoid stereotyping community as foolish.
Did I mention Luos supporting Gor Mahia in my posting? I said ‘ if calling Luos primitive is wrong’. That is not saying Luos are primitive!!!!! Who is foolish now?Please go have a lesson in semantics
Joods, we are posting comments that are neither manipulated by fear nor propelled by pride. I think the Shemejis should terminate these Sportchietha deals so that we can put our houses in order.
Dear K’Ogalo family, it is a fact that we support this team with a lot of passion. I however, think that some people take it too far. I think that passion if not checked and guided by the individual can lead to destruction. When an individual for example is upset and picks any object and throws into a crowd, what are the possibilities that this could land on any one including one owns relative. I think that any individual who claims to be willing to die for K’Ogallo should do so by courting more people to attend matches. Of course when sport pesa joined the fray of sponsoring our team, they were not going to do it for nothing and have no say. That would be illogical. The other thing we do not have to copy bad examples as in because there were riots in Nigeria or else where, we should also handle things in the same way. As K’Ogallo family we can set our own standard for people to emulate. We recently did by keeping our team propped up until they worn the league unbeaten. My take therefore is to appeal to Sportpesa that after the discussions with the EC and all concerned, to rescind their decision and resume the sponsorship. It means a lot to every player whom we hope to see performing well at every game. When there is food on the table and a roof over their head then they are at peace.
Jaupanda, we need to be our brothers keeper. When you your neighbor is throwing objects in the pitch, please hold him and tell him to remain calm. If you see a fan running into the pitch, please dissuade him or them from doing so.
Thank you Jamigori, This is one of the things we can do and be willing to do because these people do not appear from nowhere. They are amongst us.
Guys, as much as I support a sponsor demanding the purity of their brand out there in the market I also believe the sponsors job should not just be dishing out money. How I wish the sponsor should take their time before or during half time or organize a fans day for ingwe/gor to explain to fans what it means to them to sell/brand their product through Gor/ingwe. Something like we do in elections called civic education. Suspending sponsorship yet they still sponsor the league is like shooting themselves in the foot. It’s rue Gor and Ingwe need the sponsorship but what if BetWay took that chance and everything ran smoothly for both teams. The winner will be BetWay since all those other clubs don’t even raise a quarter of the fans that Gor/Ingwe have.
On fans let’s protect our clubs from goons , some of who could be perpetrating a different/political agenda. Let’s behave and the sponsors will come in great numbers
Hey guys. Am new in this blog site but a fully fledged supporter of this great team. Am so shocked by some comments here to the extend i dont even know what to say. In short, hooliganism must be cubbed. If relegating gor mahia and afc is what it will take…..so be it.
The phenomenon that defines a casino has been replicated in the Mashemeji matches. Sportpesa assesses the betting pattern then manipulates the results of our matches. Sportpesa emerged from the pits of hell while flaunting sponsorship in the right hand but hiding exploitation in the left hand. Now we know why Gor should not win matches.
We are tired of the word ‘hooliganism’ but more so the frequency with which it is used to describe the only fanatic stronghold in Kenya.
While wagging your sorry tails in the name of freezing sponsorship for these clubs, remember that Betway and other sponsors ran over each other clamouring to take over the sponsorship deal at the start of the season.
The two teams survived last season without sponsors but with mixed results. Where I come from, it is a crime as well as a sin when found begging, except when begging The Almighty Creator.
We are tired of being guided by your reins and ropes simply because you sponsor the Shemejis. Pack and go, stop wasting our valuable time.
I seriously reconsidering my position as a fan of Kogallo.
This two clubs have become a den of thugs, goons, warmongers and hate-speech operators. Personally, I welcome this initiative to denounce sponsorship . Infact, it should be for good so that we learn our lessons, why were human beings given 2 ears and a brain in their heads ??
It pains me to hear that some of this thugs, goons, warmongers and hate speech operators have been betting on Kogallo or Efusi to win all matches and if the referee does not favour their view- they storm the stadium and either have the match nullified or simply beat up the refeerees. This is just shocking, simply shocking !! Its just a matter of time before a referee is Killed, watch this space.
Go Jakoyo and it is your choice. I will remain and fight hooliganism menace squarely.
if making noise amounts to hooliganism so be it . why are we being treated like this PLz sportpesa stop wasting our time . does it mean that when we are sponsered by S we should not win . the fact that you sponsor gor/ AFC does not mean you should manipulate results for you to make money plz you are free to pack and go we will sort for alternatives idot kikuyus.
as much as we shall air our views on this matter, the fact remains. during the signing of this deal there is someone who got kick back and thats why sportpesa is behaving this way. how can you operate under vacuum? There is no any policies or guidelines that have been distributed to the FANS so that they know what they should do to protect the brad? people are not equal in all senses. i may feel bad when someone cost abandonment of a game and another is ok with it. in short lets document everything and be transparent.
By the way we are incomparable with other teams. Gor/Ingwe have fan base, how many passionate fans do the remaining teams have? food for thought.
Ja-this or ja-that i like ur insight u r apparently a sharp guy now tell me who is the idiot ; the prude who’s passion is the bottom line or the supposed smoothie whose passion is the hemline of a yellow yellow who will almost always be an okuyu. U alwaays trip bro
@jakoyo, I wouldn’t a gree with you any better on this, but we should be careful not encourage the sponsors to hurt the club just because of some mongrels amongst as whom should be circumcise in the head. @ Dan original, I highly concur with your sentiments but I tend to think that, the hierarchy of the club should be the one to take the initiatives to organize a family fan day/forum to educate its fans on the needs and wants of the sponsors.
They sponsors should be creating packages and give it to the club to do marketing, I think in these way both will be able to benefit
@bloggers, what was wrong with the Betway Co. that made us leave it and rush to sportpesa for sponsorship? there must be someone joking with this team. i think my brain is still functioning well and it has just reminded me that BETWAY is an international firm which cannot be swayed by political decision. im really hurt. i have also suspended my bettings through sportpesa
They said sportpesa was a lucrative deal.
Jakoyo your alleged support for gor is insignificant and your impending withdrawal useless as it sounds.You are a dot within a dot in kogalo so your withdrawal as supporter will so nothing,go wea you want bwana,so what?Bob & Joods stop trying to be Sportchietha ambassadors here,Luos as you say are hated in Kenya regardless of what you do Kata unang’o pier Karauri it will still remain the same.Ww won’t beg,Gor was there in 1968,won a continental trophy and other accolades without Gema Company help.Let them start a Brand Gatundu Team and gain from sponsoring them.I am emotional Yes but my love for Gor supercedes all other considerations like secho ka ochot.What has the sponsorship done so far to think we will reach TP Mazembe & Al Ahly levels,when we can beat Ushuru due to match fixing?SportPesa kidhii to idhii,go sponsor FkF we won’t Secho bwana.Am starting a new Paybill # like last season we will endure.Kwani nini hatujaona?
Tone down man
You and your ilk are the major problem for this beloved club. You should not condone hooliganism just to prove you love the club.
Both ingwe and Gor fans commenting on Futaa.com are in solidarity that the suspension was uncalled for. Lets not demean the Luos. I know Gor mahia Facebook will also be awash with condemnations. I haven’t heard of sponsors who withdrew after Harambee stars vs Guinea. It was a similar incidence. LET US RESIST THE THREATS THIS EARLY. Suspension within the first few months no no no. So how is the supposed 5yr deal going to succeed.
@Ja`Asego, you are filled with anger, why are you frothing in mouth spilling hatred here? sober-up and read my post keenly, you will absorb the contents very well… Secondly, you got to understand that the world has changed and everything is changing especially in terms of management. Your stone-edge thinking mentality will not help. Stop these scare mongering attitude that you don’t care without sponsor…Kenda huko,, you are a waste of space
Ja Asego mak bada apaki Baba an kodi we cant allow these Gema nyochietha to control Gor mahia in the name of sponsorship. Obama will bring one for Gor. after all we did well without a sponsor and now we are performing badly due to sponsor and match fixing by the sportchitetha. shall we entertain ourselves with begging or good football.we are not wemen to stay calm Gor is about noise koko ilo and those chanting that other people consider hoooliganism. so whoever is not used to them to please pack and go including sportchietha. they can as well sponsor Thika united even brookside left us and is sponsoring them. kwani gi dhinwaga e choo.
At anyone who fills cannot support through thick and thin with or without hooliganism, with or without sponsor, withor without winning to simply pack and go. we are told that the world has changed by even people whose stay way from home is may be ,perhabs Nairobi kebera. do you know where the world is. what gor is doing is very right if you feel the behaviour is odd please no one will tell you to go but eliminate yourself because i dont see us changing this behaviour soon. we are not wemen to watch the game silently without questioning wrong judgments by incompetent monkeys from muranga and kiambu who are basically out to tanish Gors wun timbe the name. if they want that sportchietha sponsorship they pick it and go but leave Gor the way it is with Hooliganism that is ours and we wnt stop it soon u like u hate it.
I abhor hooliganism, with or without sportpesa
Very regrettable comments, I agree maybe they jumped the gun in withdrawing sponsorship but it doesn’t mean criminal acts are acceptable.
The way some bloggers express themselves here really depicts what kind of people they are. It is not a secret that running a club like GM through your own pockets is not any man stable food. So I don’t want to throw barbs here, but we are being reminded how AR lamented severally how it is proving to be difficult in running the club without sponsors, not long ago are these people forgetting how players and previous TB were owed salary arrears? So it was a big relief when sportpesa came on board and it is now upon the club to try guard it by all means available by weeding out some deluded fans with ulterior motives.
@ Bob…Please I ding want to engage you in abuses here,its neither the platform nor are you worth my response.You say the world has changed…which world is this you speak of when you are still semi-illiterate and can’t spell “stone-age” and “kwenda huko” correctly?Try as you may brother,Gema will never accept you as an equal,you will do their bidding by turning on fellow kinsmen here much to their glee as they read your myopic Gema suck up comments but we will remain steadfast & unbowed in protecting our Brand Kogalo from possible Auctioning to the highest bidder by your ilk…
@ Jakorando…Achung Mateo ka mwanda wuodwa,onge manyalo yiengaa…We are gor mahia diehard supporters who will never agree at whichever cost to sell our brand at the mercy of businessmen.Gor en Makakorwa,Our Pride & Joy,the Only Gemstone we have in Kenya that No one shall ever take from the common luo man/woman from busia to awendo to mombasa who all own the brand as a birthright..None says it better than.oye shemeji’s with their slogan “Ours Forever” and “Abana Abeingo” to invoke their pride in ownership of Afc Leopards.Gema sympathizers go help set up a football team in Muranga that you can sponsor with sportpesa and direct/control/dictate/manipulate as you wish.Ronald Karauri can be the chairman and live up to world standards.Mayienga will never change Allegiance to Gema

Fighting hooliganism requires a concerted effort by all the parties, FKF, supporters, clubs, Police and even the sponsors. The big stick approach will not work and has never worked.
Bring on board all the stakeholders including experts in football hooliganism and supporters of the teams concerned and dialogue. If somebody is a hooligan it matters not whether you ban Gor or AFC, he will still be a hooligan and a law breaker.
Lets sober up and reason together… unless there are other issues we are not privy to.
@ja`sego, thank you man, you may call me what you want, abuse me as you pleases, hull insults at me as you can,but the fact of the matter is that hooliganism has to be eliminated at all cost, and the sponsor`s name has to be protected… Gang- star like behavior is not the solution when things don’t go our way…So you regard yourself learned? Then you want me to expound for you what the world has changed for in regards to soccer management and sponsorship? Well, look at you opening sentences, does it means that you are dump? I don’t want to slate you on these forum because I have a lot of respect to all the bloggers here otherwise you can engage me at full throttle if you can.
No,No,No And No To Sportpesa Dictatorship,we Won,t Be Cowed By Sportpesa.A Good Organization Cannot Intimidate Abig Instition Like Mighty Kogalo ,never On Earth,who Given Them That Mandatecarelessl,unprocedural And Unprofessional Act Only Help Exposed How Inept Sportpesa Office Is,on This We Say No.Ok Wabi Secho
Hooliganism must end , I support Sportpesa to keep our stadiums safe , football is just a game.
Just wondering! These were 2 separate incidences that occurred on different days!
the most stupid thing in kenya is the football laedarship its a real shame that this league has been taken over by betting and gor and afc are the direct victims fifa will come calling soprano man
@ Bob please please Gor Mahia is not afather or Amother to any fan these fans come to the field to suport a successful team and eventually find Gor Winning so they support the winning side. by this i mean Gor cannot bear the blame on any fan not even by virtue that they wear Gor jersys. Let hooliganism be delt with with on individual basis But leave our gor Mahia Club alone.if sportpesa has no professional experts to mnage that company thati s up to them . they better pick their belongings t Gor if there is any and Go to Central where karaura heils from. we will struggle with gor as b4. Afterall we won league three time without a sportchietha sponsorship. please that karaura should keep of Gors affairs with immediate effect.
Let no one be cheated. Gor can not make any serious impact internationally without sponsorship. Gor needs sportpesa more than sportpesa needs it. That is the naked truth.
