But at the moment I cannot do anything because my situation is unclear. Something needs to be done, unfortunately where we are now is where we were three months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cMy conditions are very clear, I am a professional and I want to professionalise this club. I love this club and this is where I want to be next season. But if I cannot get Sh 4 million sign on fee and a monthly Sh 500,000 salary, I am not coming back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Talks ended in stalemate<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe need to move fast. Gor Mahia is a big club with massive following. I know if they want the best for the club they can raise this I a matter of days,\u201d added Logarusic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>He said he sat down with club chairman Ambrose Rachier and the talks ended in a stalemate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThey did not want to commit and I told them I am a professional, football is business and if we cannot do business, then call me if you are ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cGor Mahia should move away from surviving on handouts and engage in big business. Look for sponsors who mean business and are ready to grow with the club and make money of our own.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Croat who came to Gor Mahia in April when the club was rooted at the relegation zone with only one win from nine games says he has a bone to pick with sponsors Tuzo who had made promises which they failed to fulfil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI came to Gor Mahia not to push for money, but to bring results so that the club and its sponsors can appreciate and offer me a pay package that is acceptable. It defeats logic now that we are now haggling over increment. What I am asking for is what I believe is the lowest a professional coach can ask from a club.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/logarusic-on-contract-negotiations\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courtesy of Nation Gor Mahia coach Zdravko Logarusic says he is willing to return to the club if certain contractual<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1294\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
