THE Highlanders executive has confirmed that the coaches have submitted the targets they want to be recruited by the club for next season’s campaign.
Club chairman Kenneth Mhlophe is keen to see Bosso return to the podium and is confident that happy days are just around the corner. In an interview with Zimpapers Sports Hub, Mhlope said they were worried about their lengthy wait for the league championship.
Highlanders last won the championship in 2006.
“We are as worried as the fans. As members of the executive and board, we are supporters too. We get as worried as they do when the club is not winning and we are not resting on our laurels.
“It’s been a bad 18 years for all of us at Highlanders and we want to leave that chapter behind us.
“I promise we will keep trying to do our best so that the club quickly returns to being among the championship winners,” said Mhlophe. He said their technical team have submitted the names of players they are confident will add real value to Bosso.
“The club has met coaches, it was a meeting in which we were all objective about it as we are under pressure to compete with better-funded teams.
“We are taking guidelines from our shopping list to our sponsors and nothing stops our loving fans from coming forward with funding to help us bolster our side.
“We have always counted on them from the team’s early days and will continue asking them to step in financially and help us compete for honours.
“At this stage I am not going to release any names as this could jeopardise future negotiations. Confidentiality is key and we want to show respect to our fellow clubs in the League or those in Division One.”
