It has been a while. I don't know why it's just been a while. Thank you very much for having me back. But now good that you are back. Let's speak about what happened in the Wigorma football club, were crowned overall champions despite drawing against their football club in midweek and now it's their record 18th title. Monotoni, as far as Kenyan top flight football is concerned. And it's not going to stop anytime soon because what we need to look at is how professional the side has been, how the team is being run. And I know there have been a lot of complaints sometimes about monies and stuff like that. But if we look at Gormahia football club the only time we've actually had this season when they were complaining about money was once or twice. So it just goes to show what can happen if a team is run professionally. So will the dominance stop? No, it won't stop anytime soon. And do I see any team being able to match up to Gormahia at the moment? No. In fact I remember at the beginning of the season when they were playing in the champions league and the confed cup most people were thinking that they were going to not make it because at some point they were trailing Bandari and Madare united by as much as 10 points but they were able to gain the ground come back and win comfortably with two games to spare. Now is it high time Gormahia has conquered local football for so much? Now is it high time they replicate the same glittering show when it comes to continental football because when it comes to cup champions league and cup confederation it's been elusive for the Kenyan teams. What's the secret now that they should the proper strategy they should lay in place if they have to sparkle like they have done local? Just piggybacking off what Samia said granted in Kenya they are perhaps the most professionally run football team but when you go to the continental level that's another story they're still lagging behind when you compare them to their partners or to their competitors and I think that's what the problem is in sport and we keep on saying this Max in 2019 you need money to run sport and Gormahia for a club who I believe is the biggest club in every sport in Kenya and is the biggest club in terms of football in Eastern Central Africa I think there's much more they can be able to utilize and I think there's much more they can be able to achieve so I think the reason why they're not able to replicate their dominance the local dominance on the continental level is because their competitors are way ahead when it comes to professional setups so the leadership at Gormahia needs to sit down and say look we need to do something about this we need to convert this into a limited liability company you need to attract strategic investors because the club actually is saying in Ethiopia that has actually converted Ethiopia for all the places have already converted into a limited liability partnership but we know why such things have been stored it's because we keep on saying the people who are running sports in our country right now are not really in it for the sport and that's why they store such things that are going to see any loopholes from them making any money on the side one man was insisting on sports development and commercialization of the same of course coronation for Gormahia football club happening this particular afternoon at Kenyatta stadium in Machakos count when they take on poster ranges let's take a look and listen in towards as an octetian had to say immediately after their clash Agnes Deva football club that ended in one hole and of course their subsequent crown of 18th record title as far as Kenya Premier League is concerned let's listen in towards an octetian speaking it was so difficult, it was so hard league as you guys know league is big marathons and in this marathons and this month you have so many injuries so many back to back games and when you play in Africa as well it's different motivation there is a massive games then travel, sleep, play then come to play local games of course that's as an octetian for Gormahia football club speaking to members of the press immediately after being awarded an accolade of coach of the Man's Award Catasov Sports Journalist Association that is ASJAC after of course his heroic exploits that led to his club being crown champion for 18th record title their third consecutive and of course dominating Kenyan football Mara you had something to say with regards to go to Nairobi I just wanted to say that I think Gormahia this year did make strides in continent of football and they were able to achieve that very many other teams that you call professional that have had structures for a pretty long time were not able to achieve just making it out to the knockout stages into the quarters and I'm hoping just to now echo what you said that the money that they made there is going to be used properly and making some money of selling Twisenge yesterday that was confirmed Twisenge going to Petro Atlético in Angola again Gormahia is becoming a selling club we've just seen over the last two seasons like their best striker they sell but they are able to mould somebody else but this time round we don't know who it's going to be because I'm not very sure Denis Olietchu will continue playing for them considering the scobles that they had him playing for Gormahia FC earning a salary of 300,000 Kenyan shillings a month which though I'm able to pay at some point and I remember he even boycotted some of the matches so what we really now need to look at especially when you talk about Gormahia and the other teams in the KPL is to just ask them to honour the contracts that you give players because it's really sad I saw a text message that was doing the rounds on social media from Mount Kenya FC from Nakumata FC where the players were literally asking for fundraiser for them to be able to honour their remaining matches and that's a very very sad state why get or why purchase a football team when you know very well that you cannot be able to manage it and it's good we this fundraiser culture that's in sports right now and I think it's because of running sports as a pastime football as it is, I mean there's the biggest eyeballs in this country and it should be able to attract the right corporate sponsors if packaged well and I think that issue of the fundraiser we are very content with that we come here, we raise a bit of money and guys are able to play or honour one, two, three fixtures but we're not saying it's a short term strategy so I agree with what Sami is saying guys need to start thinking 5, 10 years down the line we put in structures right now that we start realising 10 years down the line because like we keep saying marks when you have our offline discussions we need to stop looking at sports as a pastime in the west and I dare say this if you look at Liberia, their current president is a former football player former world player of the year George Ware so you can imagine the amount of people we are shouting out making sports professional still on matters Kenyan football of course Kenya, the national team is preparing for the African cup of nations continental showpiece later for a few days from now, as we speak of course happening in Egypt later next month of course they will be travelling to France on 31st the end of this particular month to prepare for the continental showpiece of course qualifying after 15 years of waiting and we've seen several assessments and interpretation with regards to Kenyan chances of sparkling during the upcoming African cup of nations especially after Sebastian Minya the French man named a 30 months call that will do duty and of course it will be trimmed down to close to 23 to represent the country at the upcoming showpiece let's see what transpired at Kassarani during their first training session and of course they have sub-sequel opinions by former international Muso Tenu also spoke with regards to Kenyan chances and that means the training session today was not so long we need to build the fitness of the players but not to break the player also it's always to try to find a good balance for that the reason also why you saw at the end of the training session we had some physical job for some of them we didn't play last weekend and we are on the way to try to build to have also some answer physically always Masud now because it would be necessary for me to take a decision today I gave 30 names even I am not prisoner for the 30 names it's also pragmatic if I discover a good one I can put him in my final I'm not afraid about it and after for next week we will reduce at 26 because we will travel with only 26 players it's the reason I want to see some answer today me feeling poor as a man me motivation and opportunity Kenyan players not only but the entire nation me opportunity and chance for the player I am thankful for the support I have been able to study and I am happy to represent Kenyan I am happy to support the people who are here to come back home to support the players to make a difference to Kenyan in Afghans I am motivated to work in Afghans because I pride the country then second I market the players then to represent family as it me feeling more focus on everything I am happy I am happy to support the people who are here to support the players because I am happy to support the players because I am happy to support the normal playing microphone music music music music music Thank Youounds for our immense smiles and Mine in coming years.

Isabastion과楽isia na Humasu Yes, it is happy To grasp the Yasu And Man City as well, because you look at the people who actually came through for them at the final minute, especially when you look at Liverpool. It was not the regulars, it was the people who are usually on the bench because, exactly, so these are the players who come in and they feel they have to appoint to prove. And I feel that's the same thing that should have happened to Jesse, where give him a chance, let him come and prove himself because I know if he was named in that squad, he was literally going to fight for the shot because he knew that one, his selection was going to be very controversial, many has always had doubts about him, so he would have played for the shot, he would have made sure he fought for the team and probably he would have been that catalyst that would have seen us do more. Not to say that we cannot be able to get out of the group that we are in because I look at that group and personally I feel the only team that we need to be scared about is not even Senegal. I've been telling people it's not Senegal, it's Algeria because most of the players play locally, apart from four or five players including Riyad Mahrez. But if you look at the Senegal team, it's a team full of professionals but we also have a lot of individual players in there so they don't really gel very well as a team when they play continental football. I'd be afraid of a team like the Ivory Coast for example because these are players that even during the qualifiers you can literally see the chemistry that is there between them. So Senegal I'm not scared about Tanzania we will weep so Algeria is a team that we need not to underrate and I'm sure if we are able to contain Algeria we'll be able to make it out of the group. You are one man who have not been advocating for government support, financial support to teams, clubs and general sporting activities in the country but you know that guest are shown by them through minister of sports to pump a lot of resources in the assistance of national team ahead of the continental showpiece. What's your opinion about that? Now can you imagine a situation where government was pumping in the 200 million but FKF actually had money? Can you imagine how the Harambe stars would have been comfortable going into the AFKON 2019? They would not have been having issues about unpaid allowances. Those would have been problems we don't know about and that's where I come from. Government's work is to provide an environment for the thriving of the corporate sector for lack of a better word. If you go to the West, these organizations, these football clubs, these basketball clubs and let's stick to football clubs are actual corporate organizations. If you look at Arsenal FC it's listed on the London Stock Exchange. These are fully fledged corporate organizations that are employing millions of people or let me say thousands of people. So my take is that granted it's a very good move from the government, from the minister of sports to pump in 200 million shillings but I'm just looking at a scenario where FKF would have had the money then this 200 million would have actually been either of two things. You go into cash reserves for the FKF or you actually have a good footing when you're going to AFKON 2019 because preparing for such a tournament is not easy. We need to be preparing in France. It's not going to be cheap. So I just think that we need to move to the West direction where basically government's work is heavy built stadiums. Do we have football grounds in estates? All this land that is being grabbed by people for football grounds in estates. What is government doing about it? And then the legislation is already there. Corporate organizations, sponsor sports. You are not going to be taxed on that money. Was. There is something that elicited conversation especially on Twitter from Kenyan football followers over the kit that was released. Was it getting retained at around 3500 Kenyan shillings? I don't know what's your quick thoughts with regards to that particular kit. Of course ahead of the AFKON. I will summarize it. Shambles. There is no Kenyan. There it is. What is Shamboli? We are just looking at that jersey. In fact, as a football fan, any football fan who looks at that, the kit the way it is, the red and the white, the first thing that comes to mind is Tunisia because that's what the cartridge eagles were. And when I first saw it like this, that's what came to mind. In fact, I remember I responded to Macron when they were talking about their sponsorship package and talking about that particular jersey. And I was like, come on guys, we are losing identity. What we had with all sports during the qualifiers was a kit that had a Kenyan identity. If you look at our rugby players, yes we have problems that are happening right now with the 7th team. But if you look at the kits that they wear, they have that Kenyan identity. If you look at our athletes and Nike has always perfected these and done it very, very well. You can see the national colours. Looking at the jersey that we are just looking at right now, both from and away, I think Tunisia, I think Egypt, more of the North African teams as opposed to the Kenyan side. But then, before I trash it so much, I'm waiting to see the shot and the socks because then maybe there is a blend of colours that will represent the national team. But to me just looking at that jersey, I would not waste my money. How come these guys have a counter-opinion with regards to the kit? Yet they always say plain is a sign of simplicity. It's easy. He's not really complaining about the plain. He's really complaining about the lack of an identity. Identity. On the face of it, if you look at Brazil jersey, you know what it is. If you look at France jersey, you know what it is. If you look at England jersey, you'll know this belongs to the... Cameroon. Cameroon. Nigeria. Senegal. Every coast. I think that's what he's complaining about. He's not complaining about the fact that it's plain. I'm sure he can be able to do to produce a jersey that's significant to us and appealing to the I. On the continental stage. We're not talking about playing locally. We're not talking about playing on the continental stage. What is our identity as Kenyan? Before we talk about the main business of the day, Rivian preview of London Sevens and Enterprise Cup final coming up in a few hours from now. We're going to speak about something that has been trading. There is a new team and a new king in town called Wazito FC. And of course, as we speak right now, they are first on the log. They are preparing for their next game again as administration police tomorrow. And of course, if they maintain the same run, they will be guaranteed of promotion to Kenyan Premier League. And of course, they have got a new bus state of the artists being unveiled this particular afternoon. Rikardo Baddo is a man who is making headlines positive wise because of his interest and passion for sports. Yesterday he signed a contract worth 100 million with Kenya Basketball Federation. And of course, they are flying like basketball tournaments now coming on board. What do you make of that headlight? This is somebody who has a passion for sports. We're not just talking about an entrepreneur who's looking for money, which is the most unfortunate thing when we look at especially African sports, where we find there are entrepreneurs who just think about the money side of it, but they're not passionate enough. And this is also happening also at the global stage. And this is where now I also look at, I'm sorry to bring in the whole Manchester United issue, but it's my team, but then they've become such a commercial side that we've lost people within the team who are passionate enough. Baddoa is very passionate about Wazito. In fact, if you look at the way he tweets, that guy literally will insult his team, will insult his players because he is angry. You can see that passion in him. He gets very angry when his team loses. He actually celebrates when they win. And I know earlier I had said that nobody can be able to surpass Gormahi in terms of professionalism in this country, but Wazito at the moment, the way they are going and as long as Baddoa is there, they are going to be a force to reckon with. And he's laying down structures that I don't see even Gormahi matching at the moment. And Gormahi are the current champions. They've really been struggling. I think they even got a bus a season ago. This is somebody who knows his team is going into the KPL and is going to ensure that in the KPL, they're not just going to be pushover boys. They're going to be competitors. The next thing we are going to see, if he's able to pump in 100 million into basketball, imagine how much money he's going to pump into Wazito once they get into the KPL. This is somebody that you're sure is going to invest in good players. He's going to ensure that his team is well run. And believe you me, even when it comes to the issue of coaching, we are going to see a team that is properly coached and they are going to play competitive matches as far as preparations are concerned, this for me is going to be the team that people need to watch. Ngarwa, your interest and the interest of that man match and probably that's the same reason you should look for him because his passion for sports commercialization is also unmatched. But what do you make of that particular development? Do you think the entrance of such fellas, such individuals into Kenyan sporting arena would get the industry to another level? There are three things that contribute towards the revenue generation of a sporting organization. The number one is commercial, what they call commercial sponsorships. So you either have the short sponsors and merchandising, things like merchandising, that's number one. The second biggest honor for sports organizations is broadcast rights. And the third honor is gate revenue, right? Now, your team actually, Manchester United in 2017, 48% of their revenue was generated from commercial deals. 32% was generated from broadcasting rights and the last 20% was from gate revenue. For you to achieve those numbers, you need a huge capital investment and that's where he comes in. So he comes in the sponsor, he pours let's say 100 million shillings to get these things running because remember, it's eyeballs. For you to get guys into the stadium, you need to market the team, true or false. You need to market the sport. So I go out, marketing is meant to cost money. I mean people running you that marketing is meant to cost money. You have to pay salaries for the players, you have to pay salaries for the guys who are managing the team. Now when you market it, you bring in the guys. The first thing that happens is that as a sponsor or as this guy, what's his name? Badoa, Badoa. As he's pouring in the 100 million shillings, they reduce the pressure on him because now you have an arm generating revenue, in ticket revenues, in gate revenues, sorry. Now once you get people into the stadiums, the next thing is eyeballs. The corporate organizations are going to be coming here. There you get 6, 7,000 people watching a game every weekend. We want to be there. So they sponsor. So again what happens to Badoa? He's less weight on him. He doesn't have to keep on removing 100 million shillings every year. So this is a huge capital investment but in five years down the line if you take the company route, he's doing dividends from it. I don't think that's his case because he's passionate about sports. But in five years down the line, that club is running itself of the sponsorships, of the gate revenues and who knows, they can end up getting a very good broadcasting deal. So that's how I look at it. Fantastic. That has been sports pages of the week. Touchline is shown. Why to follow? My name is Matsula Sikasami. Murai alongside Ngarakamuia have been joining me to dissect about what has been trending the regards to matters, sporting headlines, both local and beyond. And of course up next is review preview of London 7s. Happening currently in Kenya has already lost their first game against Fiji 24-17 and of course looking forward probably to bounce back against Samoa in the next clash at 320. PM East Africa 10 before they wind up their group clash against France as far as the second last leg of Fetches Biswa 7 series is concerned. Let's listen in to what Jeff Gangladori said with regards to player allowance and player welfare in the wake of some of the senior 7s players getting to social media platforms to complain and lament on the tribulations and predicaments they have been going through and some of which have led to their failure to sign contracts. Jeff Ganglari, president speaking.
