Nuttall with Zdravko Logarusic who was also a handful for Kogalo officials to deal with<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier has hinted at havinga\u00a0 difficult relationship with former coach Frank Nuttall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy he left Gor,\u201d said Rachier to the Standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish him well in his future endeavours, but the truth is that Nuttall gave me hell at Gor, we were never at peace working with him. He did not tell us when he was leaving, like a thief, he left at night without notice,\u201d added Rachier.<\/p>\n

Rachier further went on to say that Nuttall was the most difficult employee he has had to deal with. Which is saying a lot considering that he also had to deal with Zdravko Logarusic.<\/p>\n

Matters came to a head when Nuttall stormed into Rachier’s office demanding his back pay.<\/p>\n

The chairman recalled the events that led to Nuttall’s sudden departure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was during a postmortem, after falling miserably to Ingwe, that a local journalist called in to inform us that Nuttall was already in Cairo, Egypt and had signed a contract with the former African champions. It was a big embarrassment to the club and the entire board of executives.<\/p>\n

Rachier however neglects to mention that Nuttall worked under difficult financial situations yet he kept players and staff motivated. And asking a coach to take a 50% pay cut is not reasonable.<\/p>\n

Nuttall for his part considers his brief stint at Zamalek successful .<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Zamalek, we qualified for the quarter finals of the CAF Champions League and we had an 83 per cent win record. I have gained lots of experience and knowledge about players that will come handy in my next assignment,\u201d he told The Nairobian.<\/p>\n

Asked why he was fired, Nuttall said: \u201cMr (Alex) McLeish (the club\u2019s manager) left, so as his assistant, I went with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Its not so rosy for Bobby Ogolla either<\/h3>\n

Gor Mahia club legend and former assistant coach Bobby Ogolla, who left the club to pursue a head coaching position at Nairobi City stars, is also having a torrid time. Ogolla is threatening to leave the club along with the players who are on strike due to non-payment of their salaries for two months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players refused to train on Tuesday and Wednesday because they have not been paid. I don\u2019t know why they have not been paid. I don\u2019t pay them, I only train them,\u201d said Bobby Legend to the Standard.<\/p>\n

Ogolla started the league very well and even drew with Gor Mahia and beat AFC leopards. But the players have lost motivation due to non-payment and their performance has slumped. They are now in 15th place.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows how we started the league and had a good performance, but this has been affected by our money problems. Personally, I am considering my future with this club.<\/p>\n

“I will only stay if I am sure it will not be the same story in the second leg. It looks like this has been the trend every year. It is not fair though. Not the way things ought to be done too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
