Gor Mahia to hold crisis meeting with players
After players boycotted training on Tuesday, Chairman Ambrose Rachier and other club officials will meet with the disenchanted players on Wednesday. Rachier will try to convince the players to give him more time to source for funds.
“We need money. We also have responsibilities and so it is important that we are paid. We have done our part,” said one of the players to supersport.com
The fundraiser which was held on Tuesday fell well below expectations only raising Ksh 511,000 against a target of ksh 9 million. The player boycott comes only a few days before Gor Mahia are due to leave for Congo to plau AC Leopards in the Africa champions league return leg.
On Tuesday night Rachier rallied the club executive after the fund raising event attended by a handful of club members and asked them to converge at City Stadium to have a chat with the players to reassure them that their monies will be paid.
City Stars to donate gate proceeds to Gor Mahia
Nairobi City Stars boss Peter Jabuya will have his club donate their proceeds from Wednesday’s home clash with Bandari at the Nairobi City Stadium to financially struggling Gor Mahia.
“I saw that the attendance was not impressive and committed to donate all our net gate collections to them. I urge their fans to turn up in record numbers for our match so that a substantial amount can be raised,’” he said.
Truth be told, Nuttal, did not want to be party to such theatrics. He decided to go home like a gentleman- that he is.
gate collection from the bandari-city stars game?how much are we expecting?6,000?7,000?8,000?….lets be serius here!!
Where is the pay bill no we remit some funds
350100
What a cruel joke someone put on futaa.com about mega sponsorship deal with Qatar Airways, even if was April fool’s day!
It’s interesting that whenever we win this blog is full of congratulations and how we could have won better. But now that we are required to fund the team we disappear from the scene. We might not be very rich all of us but if we were to donate our meager resources we can easily raise the required amounts
The humming bird has called the EC’s bluff. You cannot deliberately and continuously start a forest fire and expect the humming bird(s) to always come flying with water in its little beak to put out your fire which never stops burning.
As a blogger posed, where is the financial muscle that election aspirants display when campaigning for positions.
Let me continue when the league is in session the EC beat their chests, after grossly understating gate collections, that they ably sustain the club from personal funds. Where are the “personal funds” now or do these funds dry up when there are no gate collections.
Plain & simple EC is simply recycling the stolen gate collections as personal contributions.
Jakom how were you to fund your re-election manifesto of building a stadium, building houses and all those grand plans.
Why not use those funds to pay recurrent expenses like salaries?
How on earth do you expect players to train with meals for themselves & families given that soccer is a physical sport?
Why not call an AGM if you are unable to run the club with your EC?
KPL(especially Gor Mahia & AFC) players/ foreign coaches are also financially unsustainable given the current capacity of the 2 clubs/league. This league can only afford to pay a salary of kshs.50,000/month to its top most players. The highest GMFC can afford to pay a coach is only kshs.300,000/month tops.
To me it is not that fans don’t care about Gor Mahia, in fact most love their club very much, but rather that fans simply don’t trust the current system and structure of administration at K’galo.
The only way out is to attract 10,000 members to contribute monthly 500/- if GMFC want to be a serious soccer club. Start with even 200members and grow. Change to a system which potential members can trust, in my humble opinion I propose the Sacco which you’ve registered. De register GMFC as a society and operationalize the GMFC Sacco.
@ Dan, some of us have gone to an extend of writing working proposals to this office but they seem to be okay with their normal corrupt ways. We have suggested systems which will be realtime for transparrency but they are still adarmant. it is so so heartening to see all this happening to our club. they should start reading between the lines.
@papa…you are right.how do you help someone who doesn’t want to be helped??
We are paying the price of sycophancy albeit very painfully. I humbly appeal to EC to forego the congo return match and pay the players pls pls pls….wacha CAF slap us with a ban …We are ready to shed our egos
ujanja wa nyani umefika jangwani sasa. I don’t understand why is it so hard for the EC to start running the club in a modern manner. by the way, what are the responsibilities of the so many officials at the club? it seems that they don’t have more innovative ideas anymore. the harambee ideas they are forcing will not work anymore. why not try sacco jameni?
How painful,now we are asking questions,questions and questions instead of providing solutions. Now whom are we asking all these questions at this moment? Come out with solutions, let us stop criticizing endlessly. When we allege corruption on EC have we got proof of these allegations? Is there so much anyway to be eaten in Gor Mahia? You think you had better be eating that thing yourselves instead of others? You think the current leadership have not sacrificed enough? Please think again!!!!
THE PAYBILL NUMBER IS OPEN 350100
Even the small gesture by City Stars is not appreciated, whatever it is? I heard that “you do not look a gift horse in the mouth”, whoever coined that. You can now nail me on the cross,in any case it is Easter.
@Jathur gi ji you really disappoints, solutions have been suggested and properly articulated on this blog, not unless you are creating a smoke where there is no fire. You do not need a rocket science to see how inefficient and un-transparency this office are.
So what solutions are you asking and you want us to provide? Didn’t the EC anticipate a situations like this after the withdrawal of TUZO sponsorship? What were they planning all this time just to be caught off-guard? Had they started a massive membership recruitment drive like three years ago, how many members do you think we would be having right now?
All we are asking from the EC, is to give us roadmap and proper planning (technical, transparency, marketing and benefits) on would be members about when we can start to register, either as a Sacco or as a society act vis a vis. NOTHING WILL COME CHEAP
