This champion club is selling all its best players, and the owner says it's just business. Simba Bhora's president, Simba Ndoro, defended transferring multiple key stars to rival teams like Scottland FC and Hardrock FC. The exodus includes head coach Tonderai Ndiraya and players Donald Mudadi, Junior Makunike, and Boid Mutukure. Fans speculated Ndoro lost interest after the team won the league.
Ndoro called these claims wrong, stating that football is now a pure business venture. He said clubs must benefit financially from player sales to cover massive operational costs. The prize money for winning the championship is not enough to run a club for a full season. Selling talent is a strategy to recover expenses in a capital-intensive industry.
He reminded fans that the club lost eleven players last year and still finished third. Ndoro guaranteed a top-four finish, stating Zimbabwe has ample talent for replacements. He referenced previous star departures like Walter Musona, which did not affect the team's performance. The president urged supporters not to panic, asserting the club's management knows its objectives.
