Wanyonyi was not in the team when they played Bandari and was not in squad for Sunday\u2019s league match against Mathare United at Nyayo Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking exclusively to <strong>Goal<\/strong> on Sunday, Wanyonyi said he feels cheated by AFC Leopards\u2019 officials and can no longer continue to play for the club.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was cheated by AFC Leopards\u2019 officials. They gave me a cheque knowing very well they did not have money in the account. My father was nearly arrested apart from being penalized by the bank.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a well calculated move since they knew I could not do anything after the window had closed. Now I am telling them that I would rather stay home than play for them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want out and will wait for the new window to open. They have spoiled my chances of playing football this season and wish they could have left me where I was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He also denied an explanation by AFC Leopards&#8217; Organising Secretary Timothy Lilumbi that he had been issued with a post-dated cheque. &#8220;The cheque they gave me was dated June 30 and that is when it was to be cashed and it is the date I banked it.&#8221;<\/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\/wanyonyi-now-terminates-afc-contract\/\"\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 goal.com Former Gor Mahia midfielder Timonah Wanyonyi has asked to be released by AFC Leopards\u2019 four days after<\/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":[113],"class_list":["post-4874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-timonah-wanyonyi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4874","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=4874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4874\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
