Editor, Three hundred US dollars is meagre for allowances for the national soccer team players. But why spend more while we are already out of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers? The focus should instead be on local or regional players to face Mali. For the long term, I would suggest that we embark on nurturing our junior teams. You never know, may be we can get it right in 10 or 20 years. Rwema, Coventry, UK
