Honorary Treasurer Dolfina Odhiambo said in a radio interview that Sammy Omollo Pamzo got his tactics wrong against CR Belouizdad and that she would have done better.
"I still maintain, our strategy sold us," Odhiambo told Radio Jambo on Saturday. "I am not saying that the coach [should be held fully responsible for the result] but the problem was that he was too rigid.
"If I was in his shoes, I would have given the boys three options because you can never tell," he added. "Also remember, he has never played with these Arabs.
"You know we were speaking from experience having [faced North African teams] before. He has never faced them as a coach, he has never had the Caf [Champions League] experience with these guys."
The vocal official opined the former Kenya defender should have changed the tactics early to avoid the humiliating loss in Algeria.
"[Omollo] was just being rigid, and that rigidity is what cost us," Odhiambo continued "Not that he is a bad coach; but if I were him, I would have given the players two or three different strategies for example after we conceded two goals in the first 15 minutes, we could have changed our strategy.
"He changed the strategy in the second half when we had already conceded four goals and by the time it was tough already."
Meanwhile, Gor Mahia players have once again threatened to boycott the second leg of their second preliminary round of the Caf Champions League game against CR Belouizdad if their dues are not settled.
