8 matches without a win for Bidco United

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Bidco United are no longer polite ones.

Words at Bidco United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tarik Aoutah is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Tempers go at Bidco United

Chris Masinza was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Nobody could get near Jacob Onyango

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

John Rupia signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” John Rupia and Bidco United agree another 3 years.

Too much change too quickly at Bidco United

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Tarik Aoutah 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 The request is on a desk at Bidco United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Bidco United

Michael Bodo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad10 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Tarik Aoutah

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Bidco United will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Still no ink between Bidco United and John Kelwishi

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Bidco United, another week without a signature from John Kelwishi.

48 months and counting on John Otieno

Still no offer on the table, and John Otieno’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market10 Aug 2026

Bidco United sign Kevin Ayumba, one for the future

Kevin Ayumba is 14, and Bidco United have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Bidco United pick somebody else ahead of John Otieno

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Simon Munala runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match8 Aug 2026

Bidco United and Tusker cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Tusker came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
