"I have big nuts; they are huge," declared URA FC head coach David Obua when pressed to paint the direction he sees the club, his style vis-a-vis the need for results.

"I'll continue building the team, and I want to compete in the CAF Champions League, and I told my bosses this," the Kaizer Chiefs great disclosed in an interview with the media.
Obua will clearly care very little about the short-term results and that any setbacks along the way won't deter his plan to build stout Tax Collectors.
