He was particularly incensed by the new signings saying they are not better than the players who exited.”Being Coast football representative, I have been saddened to see our local footballers who fought all season to help the team finish third in the recently concluded season being dropped or transferred on loan to other clubs and instead choose to sign players sacked by their clubs which are similar or inferior to our Bandari team,” he told the Daily Nation.Mmeamkaje mashabiki wa mabingwa watarajiwa? 👋.Leo tumeamka saa tatu kwa sababu hii baridi 🥶 ya hapa juu si ya kutania aisee, kesho hata saa tano rukhsa! Sisi ndio viongozi 😄 💪🏾.#BandariNiYetu pic.twitter.com/50uKYze2HJ— Bandari Football Club (@BandariOfficial) September 28, 2021 He added that the departure of some players will hurt the team in the long term.”Getting rid of these good players will no doubt hurt the team in the team future matches,” he said.The Dockers have also made changes in their management team; Long-serving CEO Edward Oduor has exited with Samuel Wanjohi taking his place. Abdullahi Samatar comes in as the new club chairman while Bernard Osero has retained his vice-chairmanship position.
