“While his reasons are understandable as he wants synergy from the bottom to the top, it is a long shot. I don’t see it happening that he can be given such power. Management feel it could be too much for one person to have such control,” said a source. Negotiations are, however, continuing.
Meanwhile, as reported earlier, Phakaaathi has been led to understand that Mosimane and the club’s top brass do not see eye to eye, which is why Mosimane has not renewed his contract yet.
The biggest challenge is that the board is believed to make recommendations on who to sign and who to let go.
