Lalchand Rajput named UAE coach

Post by eugene »

I guess Lalchand's involvement with ZC is officially over now?

20k a month for 18 months that he wasn't involved at all and another 20k a month for the first 18 months when he was barely here and when he was he caused nothing but problems. And picked for some quid pro quo that we've never directly seen. Good choice.

Did the UAE not look at his record over the last 4 years?

Good luck to them. May as well write them off right now.

It’s only 240 usd a year
I imagine the coach of the top 3 would be on triple that
All top officials in ZC are on around that. There was a leak a few years back
Makoni Was on 25 I think
BT was on 20k monthly at one stage we think

No BT gave up a chunk of his cash to Jarvis to get him back here as well. Thumb suck I reckon 12k.

On the other hand I assume that in Eng, Aus and (in good neighbourhood) in India cost of living is much more than triple than Zimbabwe.

My question is: a non top notch domestic player, i.e. a good one but not a player in the national squad, would he be happy to earn 1.000 US$ a month?
