Chicken Inn faces serious internal problems as the July transfer window approaches. The Bulawayo football club struggles with unhappy players and contract disputes. Goalkeeper Issah Ali remains unpaid for six months after suffering a leg injury during training last September. The club offered him a three-month settlement package but negotiations stalled. Ali continues working with different representatives who change demands.
Secretary-general Tawengwa Hara says the goalkeeper situation became complicated when Ali refused their salary offer. The player wanted to wait and see how his leg healed before making decisions. Hara claims Ali keeps bringing new managers who shift their requests. The club supported Ali through medical scans and treatment processes. Communication problems may have made the standoff worse.
Veteran goalkeeper Pride Zendera learned at season start that the club no longer needed his playing services. The team offered him coaching or administrative work instead of releasing him completely. Zendera declined the alternative role and remains on the roster. Former captain Danny Phiri faced similar treatment after returning from Bulawayo Chiefs. He suffered injury in his second game and eventually moved to Gwanda Pirates.
The club can register only five new players during the mid-season window. Hara expects minimal roster changes before major rebuilding at season end. Some players consider legal action against the organization. The disputes threaten team unity during a crucial period. Chicken Inn must resolve these issues to maintain their professional reputation.
