FKFPL: “I am no flower girl to give away trophies!” Rangers boss declares after impressive record against 'big teams'
Posta Rangers have frustrated both Gor Mahia and Tusker, title chasing teams, from getting all three points in the second half of the season.
City Stars took away some of my players at the wrong time, especially in mid season,” he said, “We ended up having so many players sold to Nairobi City Stars and it was difficult to attract players,” he added.
“No one wanted to join us. I had to get what I could get and attract what I could attract whilst working with what I had but we managed to survive this league. So far, so good.
“ This is the top flight league and I am having to play players that I plucked from obscurity in the lower divisions. City Stars took my players away from me. The moment they manage to find some cohesion , it will be difficult for any team to beat me!”
