Scottland FC faces trouble in its first Premier Soccer League season. The Mabvuku team attracted fans with star players Khama Billiat and Walter Musona. Internal problems threaten to ruin their chances on the field. Club owner Pedzai Sakupwanya pressures coach Tonderai Ndiraya about player choices. Team spirit fell after Sakupwanya criticized players following a loss to Ngezi Platinum.

Contract issues add to the problems at the club. Goalkeeper Tymon Mvula waits for his loan move to Yadah to finish. Some people claim contracts were faked to pay higher wages. The club spends about $120,000 monthly on player salaries.

More staff members may leave soon, and the coach might lose his job. Scottland FC needs to fix leadership problems fast. The team must rebuild trust among players and staff. Their dreams of success seem far away unless they solve these issues.
