Chelsea Free to Sign Players in January

by Nathan Sialah
written by Nathan Sialah

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has halved Chelsea’s transfer ban. Chelsea is now free to sign players in the upcoming transfer window which is due to be opened in late December 2019 till early January 2020.

​The blues were initially hit with a transfer ban before the summer, meaning they would not have been able to register any new signings until the summer of 2020, and forcing new manager Frank Lampard to lean heavily on the club’s academy products.

Chelsea were only able to sign Croatian international Mateo Kovacic since he was already in Chelsea on loan for one season from Real Madrid.

The likes of Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Reece James have thrived in first team roles as a result, with Lampard preparing to go his first season back at the club without adding any further talent to the squad.

Chelsea are currently sitting comfortably at the 4th position 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool who are unbeaten. They are only 6 points behind second placed Leicester city and 3 points behind 3rd place last season’s Champions Manchester City.

with the transfer ban reversed, reports have already emerged linking several players to Chelsea. Crystal Palace forward Wilfred Zaha has been linked to Stamford Bridge in January as reported by The Sun.

England players Ben Chilwel and Jordan Sancho who plays for Leicester and Borussia Dortmund at club level respectively have also been linked to the London move.

Chelsea are also enjoying having a player as a contender for the EPL Golden Boot with Forward Tammy Abraham scoring 11 goals in 14 appearances in the premier league this season, 3 goals behind leader Leicester’s Jamie Vardy.

SoNy Sugar relegated from KPL after handing a third walkover

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kenyan Premier League (KPL) side Sony Sugar have been relegated after they failed to honour their third Kenyan Premier League match this season, a mid week tie against Zoo in Kericho.

The sugar millers who won the local title in 2006 have been experiencing financial challenges that saw them give away matches against AFC Leopards and Tusker, before a late arrival in Kericho for today’s match against Zoo confirmed their worst fears.

According to the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) rules, if a team fails to honour three matches its automatically relegated to the National Super League.

“Sony failed to honour their match against Zoo today. They arrived late for the match when the match officials had already given a walk over to the home team,” said KPL Chief Executive Officer Jack Oguda.

He added: “Though it’s a sad thing to see a team being relegated in this manner, the rules are clear. So they have 48 hours to explain what happened to the competition’s committee who will then make the final decision.”

Yesterday, the visitors arrived at the match venue, Kericho Green Stadium at 4.10pm after a two hours road trip from Awendo for a match that was to kick-off at 3pm.

According to the league’s rule 4. 1.7, a club failing to turn up for any league or competition match shall submit a written explanation to the FKF Leagues and Competition within 48-hours from the date of the match.

Veteran coach Arsene Wenger back to the game as he lands new lucrative role

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Veteran coach Arsene Wenger has been named Fifa’s chief of global football development, the governing body announced on Wednesday.

Fifa said the former Arsenal and Monaco coach would be responsible for the growth of the game “for both men and women around the world”, and would also be the “leading authority on technical matters”, including potential changes to the sport’s laws.

It added that Wenger, 70, would also be tasked with coach education and aiding a programme designed to help former players enter management.

“I very much look forward to taking on this extremely important challenge,” Wenger said in a statement.

“Not only because I have always been interested in analysing football from a broader perspective but also because Fifa’s mission as world football’s governing body is truly global.”

The new role brings Wenger back to the game for the first time since 2018, when he left Arsenal after 22 years in charge.

Wenger made the Gunners one of the strongest sides in Europe, winning three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups and taking his team to the 2006 Champions League final.

On Saturday Wenger denied claims by Bayern Munich that they had turned down his offer to take over at the German champions after the sacking of Niko Kovac.

Arsenal hero backed to replace Unai Emery After draw with Wolves

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Arsenal hero Freddie Ljungberg has been backed to replace Unai Emery with Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Wolves increasing the pressure on the Gunners boss.

Arsenal have been linked with appointing Freddie Ljungberg as their new boss amid their struggles under Unai Emery.

And, in the wake of their 1-1 Premier League draw with Wolves on Sunday, the Independent say the former Gunners star is ready to step in as caretaker boss should Emery’s head roll.

The Spaniard is under pressure at Arsenal. His side have not won four of their last five games with the draw against Wolves coming after defeats to Sheffield United and Liverpool, as well as another stalemate with Crystal Palace.

Arsenal want to resist calls to sack Emery until the end of the season.

But the report says that Ljungberg is ready to spectacularly step in as caretaker should they have a change of heart.

They’d still rather give Emery time to turn things around, particularly given he steered them to the Europa League final last season.

But they’re aware that the feelings of anger among fans are rising and that, simply put, they should be doing better.

Arsenal thought Emery was the right man to replace Arsene Wenger in 2018, choosing the 47-year-old over the likes of Mikel Arteta and Patrick Vieira.

John Terry’s message to Abraham, Loftus-Cheek and Tomori that Chelsea fans will love

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

John Terry made his Chelsea first-team debut 20 years ago this month.

In fact, it came on October 28, 1998 as he was a substitute against Aston Villa – with whom he’s currently an assistant head coach – in a League Cup tie at Stamford Bridge which ended 4-1 to the hosts.

And one member of the current Blues squad who has followed in Terry’s footsteps in terms of coming through the ranks at the club had a superb message for the former defender.

To mark the occasion, Tammy Abraham sent the Blues legend a picture of the club’s academy players watching that exact game from two decades ago.

The twist being that the players were babies at the time and were watching from their cots – something which made Terry feel rather old.

When @tammyabraham1 sends you this pic and makes you feel old,” Terry wrote on instagram and tagged Callum Hudson-Odoi, Mason Mount and Recce James.

He then brought up a brilliant and hilarious point about Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Fikayo Tomori and Abraham.

“You 3 shouldn’t have been up that late watching the game,” he added.

This prompted every player tagged in the photo to respond.

Abraham said: “I keep laughing at this.”

Mount replied with: “That’s brilliant.”

Loftus-Cheek had the real question: “Am I the only one wondering why we have beards and are sleeping in cots?”

Tomori said: “Love it.” James said: “Class.” While Hudson-Odoi reacted with a few laughing emojis.

Betin set to render 2,500 Kenyans jobless

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Betin has announced that it would be closing down 500 retail outlets, rendering another 2,500 Kenyans jobless.

The firm said in a statement that the government’s hard stance left it with no option but to issue its staff with redundancy notices.

They will join thousands of Kenyans who have lost their jobs since July in a wave of layoffs by companies seeking to remain afloat.

This has created fear among Kenyans working in both formal and informal sectors.

Betin joins other betting firms in the country that have laid off their workers after they failed to meet the tax obligations. 

In an earlier statement, the firm had announced that its employees will be rendered redundant on October 31, 2019.

“In view of the above, we have had financial constraints as you might all expect. As a result of the deterioration of the profitability, the management has had to rethink its operational model and to proceed with the exercise of termination on account of redundancy,” wrote Betin in their statement.

Sportpesa also closed its shops in Kenya laying off all their employees.

Why pacemakers dropped back as Kipchoge approached finish line

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Eliud Kipchoge has become the first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours, beating the mark by 20 seconds.

The Kenyan, 34, covered the 26.2 miles (42.2km) in one hour 59 minutes 40 seconds in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge in Vienna, Austria on Saturday.

It will not be recognised as the official marathon world record because it was not in open competition and he used a team of rotating pacemakers.

“This shows no-one is limited,” said Kipchoge.

“Now I’ve done it, I am expecting more people to do it after me.”

The Olympic champion – who holds the official marathon world record of 2:01:39, set in Berlin, Germany in 2018 – missed out by 25 seconds in a previous attempt at the Italian Grand Prix circuit at Monza in 2017.

Knowing he was about to make history on the home straight, the pacemakers dropped back to let Kipchoge sprint over the line alone, roared on by a large crowd in the Austrian capital.

The four-time London Marathon winner embraced his wife Grace, grabbed a Kenyan flag and was mobbed by his pacemakers, including many of the world’s best middle and long-distance runners.

Kipchoge, who compared the feat to being the first man on the moon in build-up to the event, said he had made history just as Britain’s Sir Roger Bannister did in running the first sub four-minute mile in 1954.

“I’m feeling good. After Roger Bannister made history, it took me another 65 years. I’ve tried but I’ve done it,” said the Kenyan.

“This shows the positivity of sport. I want to make it a clean and interesting sport. Together when we run, we can make it a beautiful world.”

With a leading pace car beaming green lasers on to the road to indicate the required pace of 2:50 per kilometre, Kipchoge never went slower than 2:52 for any.

To break the mark, he had to run 100m in 17.08 seconds 422 times in a row at a speed of 21.1kph (13.1 mph).

He was 10 seconds ahead of schedule at the halfway mark, before appearing to slow with a few 2:52 kilometres, only to regain the pace and kick on in the final stages.

Kipchoge was assisted by a team of 42 pacemakers, including Olympic 1500m champion Matthew Centrowitz, Olympic 5,000m silver medallist Paul Chelimo and the Ingebrigtsen brothers Jakob, Filip and Henrik.

They rotated in and out, running in formation around Kipchoge, with former 1500m and 5,000m world champion Bernard Lagat anchoring the final leg.

“They are among the best athletes in the world – so thank you,” added Kipchoge. “I appreciate them for accepting this job. We did this one together.”

Kipchoge’s coaches delivered him water and energy gels by bike over 4.4 laps of a 5.97-mile course in the city’s Prater park, instead of having to pick refreshments up from a table as in normal competition marathons.

These aids are not allowed under the rules of the IAAF, athletics’ world governing body, which is why it will not recognise this feat as the official marathon world record.

History Made! Eliud Kipchoge Becomes First Human to Run a Marathon in Under 2 Hours

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Eliud Kipchoge has made history by being the first human to run a marathon in under two hours.

Kipchoge crossed the finish line in 1:59:40.

When he started the race, he was greeted with a misty autumnal morning and a smattering of fans for his bid to run an unofficial sub-two hour marathon.

The marathon world record holder’s highly controlled attempt to break the two-hour barrier started at 8:15am local time (6.15 GMT) and organisers and there was a crowd of up to 8,000 in Vienna’s Prater Park.

Kipchoge ran 4.4 laps of a 9.6 kilometre course, consisting of a long straight with a loop at each end.

The sport’s governing body, the IAAF, will not recognise the run as an official record because it is not in open competition and it uses in and out pacemakers.

Kipchoge, 34, the reigning Olympic champion who set an official world record of 2:01.39 at the Berlin marathon in September last year, missed out by 26 seconds when he previously attempted to break the two-hour barrier in Monza in May 2017, a race run without spectators.

The 34-year-old was supported by 41 pacemakers who ran in rotating groups and formed a V shape around Kipchoge – as opposed to a diamond formation in Monza – to try and protect him from the wind.

They followed an electric pace car that was programmed to complete the course in 1:59.50 to ensure that Kipchoge ran a steady pace.

written by Mustafa Juma

The English Premier League (EPL) spelt out doom for most punters this weekend after Man City suffered a surprise defeat at Etihad to Wolves, Manchester United lost to a struggling Newcastle side while Tottenham continued with their miserable form after being thrashed by Brighton.

Despite the disappointment, that was not the case for one punter Joseph Karenju (a shopkeeper), who won Ksh 425,041.09 thrice, using a stake of Sh10 on a 13  team multibet. Karenju, who hails from Nyeri County, duplicated his 13 team multibet 3 times totalling to Sh30.

He mentioned that he would use the money to boost his wife’s boutique business and become self-employed.

Was Mr. Karenju a genius or was this the day the Lord had indeed made for him?

According to Daniel Macharia, the lead bookmaker at Odibets, Mr Karenju avoided the EPL all together. Macharia stated that the punter strategically picked winning outcomes of 13 Division 1, League 1 and La Liga and Serie A teams to net a mouth-watering sum of Ksh 1,402,641 from 3 bets.

Odibets country marketing manager Aggrey Sayi noted that this was the advantage of having a variety of leagues provided on the betting platform. “Odibets’ focus is to give our customers a better betting experience and sometimes, this involves making available exciting league games sports such as tennis and basketball with over 130 markets each from far countries like China, Brazil among others.

Unbelievable, right?

“Strikers and teams should score goals and that’s why my choice of bets are correct score markets. Odibets has boosted odds on them,” he says.

“It is not easy to bet like this because the odds are so against you. However, the wins cover everything. I rarely bet on more than 3 games but my wins are huge,” Kisaka adds while encouraging Kenyans to join Odibets because of the boosted odds and fast loading website.

Speaking during the winners’ unveiling, Odibets Country Marketing Manager Aggrey Sayi said that Odibets is focused on giving a better betting experience to customers with various options in the betting marketing that are breathtaking.
