The debate is not about HR being brilliant or not, but his conduct that shows no commitment to Zambia. Having discovered Mbola or not cannot be used to hold us at ransom. Players have been discovered before just like some may claim that Patrick Phiri (i suppose he falls in Suzyo Banda’s lexicon of local coaches) discovered Sinkala and Makufi that were also spotted by big teams. I just hope at the rate things (Greediness of CORRUPT SOCCER HAWKERS-now ZANACO are questioning how an ITC was issued for Sunzu to go to TP) are going, we never get to see the Spurs chance bypassing Mbola.

Well i still maintain that Herve Renard is a brilliant coach and FAZ should ensure that he is retained as Head Coach for Chipolopolo so that we start working on a long term plan for the 2014 World Cup. If it were not for HR little known players like Emmanuel Mbola would have never been given a chance to prove themselves in the national team. Thank God for HR our players can now be invited for trials at top English Premiership Sides. If we bring in a local coach, he will continue to play the same names that HR has since discovered and will not tap any local talent.

It’s indeed a month before and as most of us here said was “Progress” made towards 2012 and 2014, what’s on the ground shows a lack of strategy as all we are seeing are people trying to save their skins. What we expect to top the Agenda at the next AGM is a Strategic Inflection Point wherein a sustainable plan of moving the game forward is charted. What is interesting to see that the same campaign agents that were in the forefront at the last elections at the ones petitioning the Executive. There is simply chaos in the FAZ Executive as the VeePee thinks he’s sidelined something i feel Kalu should have avoided having cried same murder under Mulonga. Pivoty Simawanza was threatened to be thrown out of the meeting by Kalu after being accused of campaigning by donating kit (campaign strategy used by the Executive last time around that seems to be haunting them) to clubs. Unlike most Zambians that want to see who’s wrong or right, for me my cry to have people respecting the constitution by sitting down and have regular workshops with all stakeholder and not to base operations on past glory that has no place in contemporary leadership/management. People should swaloow their pride and engage people like Miyanda Kahari, David phiri, Chibamba Kanyama,Yusuf Dodia etc as soccer is beyond being a former player. Ba Kalu rise up to the occasion and have your allegiance to the institution (FAZ and its constitution) and not people (friends that follow you blindly and hero worship you that you seem to encourage). When we look at the people that you have surrounded yourself with, they simply do not inspire confidence. Your only advisors should have been people like Andrew Kamanga, Boniface Mwamelo, Reuben Kamanga etc that possess knowledge (guides people) and not wealth (people guide it). Kindly take this as objective advice as you were my hero on the field and i wouldn’t want you to delete the rich history you have built for yourself.

@Uncle Bobs Clearly, whatever is presented to FIFA is very different from what see on the ground.

Zamfoot, where do you get these informstion from becuase we have heard that Gabon has signed an experienced 56 year old frenchman as their new coach. Where is all this Herve Renard talk coming from.

Meant to say “If your affiliates are unhappy with your GS, saving him is recipe for disaster as how do we progress the game with an unwanted GS”.

A typical example is this Pakistani Deputy Managing Director at some Bank that always thought he was bigger than Zambians who he ensured were exploited simply because his vanquished top fish who chaired the bank protected him. When Zambians resigned he would say, let them go as they will come back (myopic). As we speak, the chap was unceremoniously kicked out last Friday and the rest is history. Sorry to disgress, but i thought i could give an example from a LEADERSHIP perspective. “A good leader should see the ship in the eyes of his passengers (AFFILIATES) and not his superiors (FIFA)”!

If this story is true, then FAZ should not hide in RB having said he would ensure everything is done to keep this now big headed BOY HR. Why should we always be taken for a ride as a Nation. I am sick and tired of mediocrity in management in Zambia at all levels. Besides why should FAZ only cry about the so called misused FIFA law on interference when it is in the negative. If RB’s offer is taken as law then it amounts to interference as I know it is only the prerogative of the FAZ Executive to decide who becomes coach and besides it appears some FAZ members are not happy with HR as far back as PRE-AFCON 2010 when HR was almost sent on leave. Great Kalu please show leadership by engaging this SMALL BOY HR in conversation (forgetting about him wrongly attributing the rise of soccer only to you and RB which was myopic) so that we know whether he has a heart for Zambia or not-ME THINKS NOT. Twanaka nomba and this is the progress people were saying we had achieved by qualifying to the quarter finals. When will we ever learn to be STRATEGIC in our dealings? Also if affiliates are against your GS (his submission that just because FIFA rate FAZ Secretariat highly is reason for him to stay doesn’t hold water, but what is more important in my opinion is the service given to your affiliates that put your SUPERIORS the FAZ Executive in power get that I am not sure was one of the benchmarks for their rating your Secretariat highly). GOD HELP US!

Man ceasor : @cool if gabon ve a new coach n nt renard than zamfoot mislead us

Zamfoot are not misleading us. The topic itself ends with question marks. Furthermore, part of the first sentence says, 'Renard is believed to be closer to becoming'.
