However, we wanted him to stay and we had an offer for him. Simba SC took the advantage and gave him a better package which we could not match.\u201d\u00a0 he told goal.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cLike most players, Kahata chose to leave and we could not stop him because his contract with us had expired. He is a good player; we could have wanted him to stay but we could not offer him what Simba was offering.\u201d  continued Rachier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachier had earliest stated in an interview with Citizen Sport that the club never asks players to stay. If a player is interested in extending his stay at Gor Mahia, its up to the player to approach club management on the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a contrast to how most other top clubs are run. Most clubs never let a key player&#8217;s contract run out. They always make an offer to extend it several months before it ends. This way when the player leaves, the club can gain from transfer fees. At Gor Mahia, many top players leave with the club making no transfer fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kahata: No one approached me for contract extension.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gormahia.net\/images\/run-sony-19.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In a separate interview with goal.com on July 6, Kahata stated that no one at the club ever approached him to extend his contract. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;My contract with Gor Mahia had expired and as usual, the officials at the club could have approached me over an extension. However, none did that; I waited but it was all in vain,&#8221;  said Kahata. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;On the other hand, Simba have been following me and showed they wanted me in their team, so I had to make a decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Leaving Gor was not an option for me, but I was forced to do that because I felt my services were no longer needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The decision to join Simba was football related, if I could have received an offer from Gor Mahia, I could have stayed.&#8221; he concluded to goal.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\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\/rachier-contradicts-kahata\/\"\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>Chairman Ambrose Rachier has said that the club wanted Kahata to stay and made an offer. \u201cKahata&#8217;s situation was like<\/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":[102,125,112],"class_list":["post-14940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ambrose-rachier","tag-francis-kahata","tag-gor-mahia-transfers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14940","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=14940"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14940\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14941,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14940\/revisions\/14941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
