Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at APS Bomet

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

The terraces

The mood at APS Bomet has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

The dugout

Aziz Okaka says APS Bomet went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Sosthenes Idah 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 The request is on a desk at APS Bomet, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Aziz Okaka frozen out at APS Bomet

This is not rotation. Aziz Okaka has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at APS Bomet is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Words exchanged at APS Bomet

Sven Yidah 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Curtis Wekesa

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

Market

The Hansel Ochieng talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. APS Bomet know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Delton Oyo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Delton Oyo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Victor Kelechi 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 The request is on a desk at APS Bomet, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Hansel Ochieng frozen out at APS Bomet

This is not rotation. Hansel Ochieng has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at APS Bomet is pretending otherwise.

Market

Delton Oyo is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at APS Bomet is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A falling-out at APS Bomet

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

Squad

A row about effort at APS Bomet

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Aziz Okaka

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

Market

APS Bomet buy the years ahead of Erick Dolly

He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad

Erick Dolly stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Erick Dolly and APS Bomet agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Still no ink between APS Bomet and Edward Masembe

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at APS Bomet, another week without a signature from Edward Masembe.
