[Andy31]

Rangers with a stacked squad
Jonathan Campbell, Mathew Campbell, Kudakwashe Macheka, Jarrod BAsson, Jayden Schadendorf, Tanatswa Marumani, Dion Myers, Brian Bennett, Mathew Schonken, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Craig Ervine, Alex Falao, Ashly Ngoshi, Jason Maritz, Benjamin Banks, Dean Milne, Luke van Zyl, Kohl Vijoen, Alexander Smith, Brad Evans, Nick Welch and Mathew Martell.

They also have a very good social team.

Rangers have picked up Dirk as their manager with Gary Brent as coach. It's an insane amount of investment and traction for a debutant NPL team. Unsure how I feel about a team so obviously stacked with white people, but I'm all for a push against the status quo.

Give Takashinga hell and see what changes.

Honestly, happy with a push against the status quo. Takashinga want to try and own the game, quite happy for someone to upset all that.

So what though?
All races do this.

Problem is, how we have seen with the USA, coming from nowhere and only getting stronger almost overnight, Zimbabwe are in an extremely fragile position. Our efforts and lack of success and juniors shows we are at real risk of losing our seat at the table. The truth is if Zimbabwe disappear ater the next cup, when the big 3 are cooked, the world will miss Zim the way they miss kenya, not much.

USA mania will take over and Namibia, the uk stated and the dutch seem to only be improving. Zimbabwe economy is bleak so what is the point of giving us all the millions that get unused.

My point is, we cannot afford any qouta of any kind whatsoever. Blacks can play for zim if they are good enough. That has been the case since the test inception. If our best team is 10 whites and a curry, then we have to proceed with it. We need results.

The good news is we are at the 11th hour, but that last hour, things an be achieved.
EVERY diaspora player that would improve our team must be enticed back. figure the price and make it happen.
Byrom, Cartwright, Ballance, Muyeye, anyone who steers the needle the right way.

Depends how it is received.
If they go out and win the league and then some sore losers decide to make a thing about it then it could set us back even further and be counter-productive. Let's see. I'm uneasy about it.
