Fans, key to Gor Mahia stability

Gor Mahia fans belting out K'Ogalo tunes during a past league match.

Nairobi, Kenya: Gor Mahia is not going away from the headlines any time soon. After a sweet and sour season someone would ordinarily imagine things would get better for Gor Mahia. Essentially, one would have expected the club to by now be receiving overwhelming financial and logistic support from corporates as well as other well-wishers in the spirit of celebrating success. Well, nothing of that kind is coming K’Ogalo’s way so far.

Instead, there’s a mass exodus of players from the talented Baba Kizito to the legendary Dan Sserenkuma, remarkable absence from the on-going transfer business, feuding club officials with the Secretary General Chris Omondi reported to have resigned in a huff, and now the club chairman Ambrose Rachier says the club does not have money to compete – forget favorably – in next year’s CAF Champions’ League.
