Market

Siyabonga Mothiba 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 The request is on a desk at Posta Rangers, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

No end in sight to Posta Rangers's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Posta Rangers has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Barou Sanogo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Posta Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Posta Rangers are $11.6M in the red

The borrowing is past what the bank agreed, which is the line where a debt stops being how football is financed and starts being a problem. Every phone-in in this town will quote the figure for the next five years.

Player ratings

Jackson Dwang runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Ahmed El Wensh

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Posta Rangers and Nairobi United take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad

Isaac Amoah is off the mark for Posta Rangers

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Player ratings

Off the bench and decisive: Isaac Amoah

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Posta Rangers were going nowhere until he came on.

The Posta Rangers Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Boardroom

Posta Rangers spell it out for Timothy Ayumba

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Timothy Ayumba has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Match

The wait goes on for Posta Rangers

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Lucas Meurer: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Posta Rangers have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Sergio Gonzalez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Posta Rangers can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Patrick Okoth is a Posta Rangers player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Market

Caleb Kamau is a Posta Rangers player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Market

As if he never left: Kevin Kagere returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Kevin Kagere is a Posta Rangers player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad

Tempers go at Posta Rangers

Barou Sanogo 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Barou Sanogo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
