The Muranga Seal Chronicle

Muranga Seal spell it out for Michael Walker
The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Michael Walker has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Moses Olunga asks to leave Muranga Seal
“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.
Boardroom6 Sep 2032
Deadline passes with 5 signed and 14 gone
That is the business done at Muranga Seal until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

The dugout6 Sep 2032
Kenneth Karisa gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
In brief
- The dugout When it matters, Alex Juma plays
- Looking ahead John Njuguna goes back to face Nairobi United
- Market The Sanele Radebe talk will not go away
