In fact I will go a step further and theorize that it was Azam who came to Nyamweya with the idea to take over running the top tier league. This was Azam's way of muscling supersport out of the picture.
Now what about Shabana? After all that hulabaloo of being added 15 points, they are still stuck in a lower league.
We are not sure how the deal for the 207M gets spread out. it could be for 10 years
Or it could be paid in kind, yani nonsense tv coverage valuation arrived at on a dinner napkin by Nyamweya and Azam guy.
I can almost bet if eventually KPL moves to Azam TV, they will immeadiately spin it off to SS for 10 times the amount that gets paid to teams and players (thats how deals are made in this country). I hope KPL and all teams and players remain chonjo and ensure they are dealing directly with SS on the matter of future TV rights for the league and not some other third party.
SS has already turned football coverage in Kenya into gold and vultures like Nyamweya just want to cash in for free.
