Posta Rangers put Interim Coach on notice
The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Vincent Wasambo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Sebastiao Gaspar remains an outsider
A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Posta Rangers would admit. It shows on Saturdays.
In brief
- Squad Francis Omurwa: “I am not a substitute”
- The dugout Francis Omurwa knocks on the manager’s door
- Market Patrick Mulee leaves for nothing
