Okoth has now explained why the Super League idea will be unworkable in Africa.
“I do not think it is possible in Africa. Looking at the structures of our clubs and their strength to cater for the demands of such a competition, it is unworkable,” the retired forward told
Goal.
The former KCB and Western Stima star claimed the idea will only favour a few clubs leaving others out of the elitist competition.
“We do not even have the structures in the first place and it would only favour the very few and chosen. It would be possible with maybe clubs like Al Ahly, Simba, Mamelodi Sundowns and the majority of clubs in the North but what about the rest?” quipped Okoth.

To Okoth, Mourinho has been unfortunate but he is not a failed manager.
“Disappointments at Manchester United and at Tottenham are not going to soil Mourinho s stellar CV as a manager. He is a manager with a lot of charisma and he will surely find his way back,” Okoth told
Goal.
“He has been at Serie A and La Liga also and performed exemplary and so the recent setbacks should not be big deals at all, so it should not dirty his CV.
“He should take a break for a short time and he will surely be back at one of these big clubs.”
It was an idea that was going against the spirit of fair competition because it was a matter of elite clubs going their way and leaving the rest on their own. Yes, it would have been an improvement on the current Champions League but one has to see that they were not the only clubs in the Champions League for example. We have so many sides that were looked down upon. The spirit of the competition demands that everyone is involved big or small. It was all about the few clubs, the money and elitism and went against the all-inclusive spirit.
