Gor Mahia raised Sh2.4million at the gates during Sunday’s CAF Champions league match against AC Leopards at Nyayo Stadium. However, the club banked less than Sh2million as the rest was taken up by statutory charges including a percentage to the Sports Stadia Management Board. Gor Mahia Assistant Secretary General Ronald Ngala said they expected a higher turnout. “We were expecting to collect more money but it looks like not many fans turned up,” he said. The club needs close to Sh5 million to honour their return champions league fixture against the Congolese club next month.

Logarusic signed a one-year deal with AFC Leopards this season and admitted he was taking time to settle. The coach was an attraction at Nyayo Stadium on Sunday when Gor fans mobbed him as he turned up to watch the team play their champions league match against AC Leopards. “It is great to be back in the KPL and to see all these fans happy to see me again. I am yet to settle down with all the confusion around the league," he said. Logarusic was at Gor Mahia in 2013 and helped the club finish as the runners-up.

FKF/KPL: Nothing is cast in stone –Shimoli

Former AFC Leopards Vice-chairman Vincent Shimoli wants FKF and KPL to seize the moment after the High Court ruling to hammer out a lasting solution to their stand-off. Shimoli said the stumbling block to a way forward is lack of respect for each other. “It important to understand that FKF officials were elected to their respective positions and KPL also plays a key role in the day-to-day running of the league,” Shimoli said. “Both FKF and KPL should also be responsive to the plight of the player who are their employers,” Shimoli said.
