Marked for Eric Okoth

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market13 Jun 2033

Eric Okoth puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Ulinzi Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets13 Jun 2033

David Sakwa turns down Ulinzi Stars

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Bandari keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Match11 Jun 2033

A bad afternoon for Ulinzi Stars against Sofapaka

2‑3 to Sofapaka, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad13 Jun 2033

A row about effort at Ulinzi Stars

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Kamohelo Hoala was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings13 Jun 2033

Kamohelo Hoala runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout13 Jun 2033

No hiding place for Lungisani Mncwabe

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Lungisani Mncwabe, and the manager let it.

The dugout13 Jun 2033

Interim Coach faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 2‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad13 Jun 2033

Words exchanged at Ulinzi Stars

Joseph Masika and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom13 Jun 2033

86% of the income goes out in wages at Ulinzi Stars

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad20 Sep 2032

Lungisani Mncwabe keeps Ulinzi Stars in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market20 Sep 2032

Clinton Manyama asks to leave Ulinzi Stars

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market20 Sep 2032

Joseph Nyakeya has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Ulinzi Stars they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad20 Sep 2032

A row about effort at Ulinzi Stars

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sanchez Phillips was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad20 Sep 2032

A falling-out at Ulinzi Stars

Comfort Ngubo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match18 Sep 2032

A bad afternoon for Ulinzi Stars against AFC Leopards

0‑2 to AFC Leopards, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Boardroom20 Sep 2032

The Ulinzi Stars debt reaches $13.8M

Football clubs borrow; that is not the story. Borrowing more than the facility allows is, because from here it is the owner's money or somebody else's decision, and neither of those belongs to the board.

Market20 Sep 2032

Still no ink between Ulinzi Stars and Lungisani Mncwabe

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Ulinzi Stars, another week without a signature from Lungisani Mncwabe.

The dugout20 Sep 2032

the manager faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” the manager after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
