FeverPitch: There is so much talk about your salary being too much given the fact that results tell a different story. Is it true you are paid Sh2.5 million a month for failure?
Bobby Williamson: To be honest, I would love to see some of these things kept private and confidential. The number of people who have asked me for money lately has been incredible. Everyone thinks I am a rich man. But wait a minute, when I was not paid for over one year who talked about it?

There are about 52 plus countries in this continent, right? But I do not think I would be on the top 10 or 20 best-paid coaches in Africa. I made no demands, that figure is what was agreed with my representatives during the negotiations with the federation. I accepted that but little did I know that I was going to stay for over a year without any pay.
