Opening post


Have the players set up a union once more? have recent events galvanised their will and no longer having prosper there? lol


Yes they have- even stronger than last time.

No Prosper involved :D

90 % haven't signed their franchise contracts. Coach/s on the players side and helping them in some franchises.

The franchise CEO's are not helping ZC because they are now redundant.

The provincial boards are eager to help ZC but have not been given the green light to go ahead and run cricket including franchises and put the CEO's in their place.

FICA have offered $6m as a slush fund for ALL players to strike and still get paid!

ZC will have to give in 30% OR lose 100%!!

No longer will the top 5 in the Admin make more money than all franchises and players put together!!

The company fraud will be exposed and ZC admin will also lose their liberty if they don't agree to demands.

It's estimated that ZC has the majority of the $10m "loaned" last year to fight/bribe players and people of importance to secure their grip on the purse strings.

I'm struggling to digest all what you've said. Monumental happenings.

Lots happening with International help. Any players on here... time to stand up and be counted...and remembered by generations of Zimbabweans as the pioneers.

I'm sure there are many questions, but my first one is-

Where do FICA get their funding from?

6 mill is a lot of money, why would so much be required, can someone do the math for me?

Just in case they have to go on strike for ages and maybe miss the world cup- they'll still get paid as if they went there plus normal wages plus franchise wages plus pay as you play wages.

FICA would get their money from the other member players union.

Most unions get around 20% of cash generated. So $18m last world cupp would mean $3.6m to the Zim players union etc etc.

You have no idea how much I want that ZIM v ENG fixture.
