In summary Nick said
1. Rachier and Shikanda showed bad faith by sending their letter as later as Friday, only two days before the match.
2. The Betway cup has nothing to do with the national league so the two clubs should not be boycotting league matches.
3. Both clubs signed contracts with the league and therefore have an obligation to play in every match per league rules.
4. FKF had already promised to deposit the prize money by August 5
5. League rules forbid clubs from skipping matches.
6. Money was delayed to August 5 because Betway cup costs Ksh 37 million whereas sponsorship is only Ksh 15m
7. No cup winner is ever given the prize money on the same day.
8. Sunken costs include hiring security, branding and TV equipment. StartTimes must be paid for sunken costs
9. Clubs are free to appeal. But future breach of rules will result in harsher penalties.
10. All clubs in Kenya are equal
11. Rachier and Shikanda are suspended.
Both clubs should focus on making their teams as big as Al Ahly
