People might say Campbell been a saviour and the right man to be at ZC at this point in time. I disagree he is no good for ZC at all he is no different from Ozias Bvute. Campbell owns a company called TOTAL SPORTS MARKETING which had TV RIGHTS for the games played in Zim against INDIA AND NZ. and also for all the upcoming tours till end of the year. After the stand off between BCCI and Ten Sports they decided to use Total Sports Instead of using SuperSport.... Supersport were only informed 2 days before the India series that they are no longer covering the series..... Campbell is using an Indian guy who does marketing and whenever there is cricket he will be the CEO of Total Sports..... What this means is Alister is paying himself from ZC money.

Well look back a year or too we had no sponsors !!! Not any business in Zimbabwe wanted anything to do with the team. Now watching the presentations after the NZ matches the presenter had to rattle off at least 10-15 different companies who were sponsoring the series ......

I'm sure everyone is aware Campbell owns that company so it's not like it's a secret ??

On one hand it is definitely a conflict of interest.
It wouldnt fly in most parts of the world.
One thing that we havent considered is maybe the terms of agreement of AC coming back was for him to head up the marketing side as well.
So it is out in the open.
As long as he doesnt pay himself an over inflated market rate, is it really a problem?
He seems to be doing alot of good and has cricket at heart. Gets sponsors, wins back players, things get done. Positive things.

Im under no illusion though and have an open mind, because as with all things ZC, things can go to kak very quickly.
So we will see.

If AC is paying himself with ZC money, at least he is achieving results with cricket in Zimbabwe and getting sponsors onboard. Chingoka, Bvute, etc, just raided the ZC coffers and then did nothing.

He may only be paid through the marketing company for all we know.

LOL @ Jonty you can dig up as much dirt about Ac and the sentiment about him here wont change.

He milked with Dominus and peeps here didn't question the conflict of interest saying its okay cos its AC same thing with this. Its okay because its AC. peeps here worship Alastair in a weird way, where they will overlook any bad that he does...

Bayhaus, the difference between Campbell and the previous Africans before him is that he actually gets things done. There might be backhanders or whatever but at least he wants to change Zimbabwe cricket for the better. That is the reason why we have time for him.

Again AC is bringing sponsors, money, and matches to Zimbabwe. Bvute and co brought nothing and still took all the money. I would be surprised if it is even possible to run a business in Zimbabwe without at least low-level corruption.

The only difference between AC and Bvute is his white. That don't justify nothing.
