Boardroom

Somebody else wants Amos Amuka

NK Krka have made their interest known and Nairobi United have to have a conversation they never wanted. A manager other clubs ask about is a manager whose next contract costs more.

Market

James Okoth 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 Nairobi United can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout

Eric Mainge says Nairobi United 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.

Match

The wait goes on for Nairobi United

4 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

A falling-out at Nairobi United

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

Boardroom

Nairobi United counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Nairobi United now.

Player ratings

Ovella Ochieng beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Mathare United tell Nairobi United: Andile Mphela is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

Humphrey Aroko frozen out at Nairobi United

This is not rotation. Humphrey Aroko has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Nairobi United is pretending otherwise.

In brief
