But as the league takes a break, the coach left for Croatia last evening unsure about his return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to go since I need time to relax and stay away from football,\u201d said Zdravko, as he was preparing to take his flight back to Croatia, stating that he doesn\u2019t know when he\u2019ll come back.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on telephone to FeverPitch, the club Secretary General, George Bwana, said there\u2019s absolutely nothing to worry about Zdravko leaving the country and that the Croat, like any other employee, is \u2018just on leave.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>A section of Gor fans and officials alike have expressed their unhappiness with the Croat\u2019s tactics and approach to matches. The club just got bundled out of the prestigious KPL TOP 8 Tournament, in which they were the defending champions after failing to make a mark in the continental tourney.<\/p>\n<p>However, the recent loss away to Western Stima at Mumias Sugar Sports Complex seems to have rubbed some officials the wrong way and a section of Gor\u2019s loyal and active fans who have previously questioned the coach\u2019s pay are now pushing for explanation or action to be taken against the Croat. They are saying that the coach isn\u2019t giving them value for money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZdravko is earning too much yet the team is not winning. Instead, the boys display a lackluster performance, unlike the previous beautiful game attributed to Gor,\u201d said Osewe Kaluoch, who is the Secretary of Gor\u2019s Away Branch.<\/p>\n<p>Last Tuesday, the club\u2019s technical Committee was locked up in a closed-door meeting in what FeverPitch can now reveal was an emergency meeting called to discuss the team\u2019s latest string of poor results.<\/p>\n<p>In a meeting chaired by the Club\u2019s treasurer Samuel Ominde, questions were raised on the whereabouts of senior vice chairman, David Kilo, who led the delegation to Mumias. Apparently, some of the committee members felt that the players could have done better than letting go all the three points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreparing a team for a match is not a walk in the park. As such, we are upset with the latest string of poor results. I am keenly following all the leads just to unearth the cause of poor results,\u201d said Bwana.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia members are set to conduct their club elections at the end of this year. The tell-tale signs of the usual mudslinging and blame games within the club\u2019s top decision-making organ are quite clear.<\/p>\n<p>One of the club officials, who isn\u2019t allowed to speak on behalf of the club, told FeverPitch that some of the club officials have started aligning themselves in preparation for November polls and, in turn, such developments hamper the team\u2019s preparations for matches.<\/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\/loga-going-on-leave\/\"\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 the Standard For a team that was on cloud nine towards the end of 2012 season, Gor Mahia\u2019s<\/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-2507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2507","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=2507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2507\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
