Kampala — Uganda's impressive start to the 2012 Nations Cup qualifiers against Angola over the weekend owed much more to 'dressing room harmony' than just tactics deployed on match-day.

Among the primary reasons as to why the Cranes have not particularly played as a unit and probably ended up faltering in previous qualifying campaigns was at times due to misunderstandings between the local and professional players over 'preferential bonuses'.

In the last two campaigns, professionals were often presented allowances twice as much as local players would get in the run-up-to and after particular matches. But that has since changed under Bobby Williamson's era.

"All the players are equal. I don't see why professional are paid more than the local players. They all contribute equally," Williamson stated.

Aside from banning preferential bonuses and helping Cranes to remarkable achievements, Williamson has also significantly improved the playing standards within the squad he inherited almost three years ago.

FUFA now have a significant challenge of retaining their man on a revised and improved contract that will need assistance from government. "His contract expired and we are in the process of renewing it. But we call upon government to help us with his wages. We can not afford to loose him. He has been tried and tested, so lets keep him" Mulindwa stated.
