I would sell Dolly for R5, says a vexed Motsepe
Mamelodi Sundowns billionaire owner Patrice Motsepe says the dispute over a buyout clause in Keagan Dolly’s contract irritated him immensely
Mamelodi Sundowns billionaire owner Patrice Motsepe says that the dispute over a buyout clause in Keagan Dolly’s contract irritated him so much that he would have been willing to sell the player for R5 if the decision was up to him. The mining magnate said while he owned the club‚ he still had to account to a board of directors and their assertion was that Sundowns were vindicated after Dolly lost his case against the club at the Premier Soccer League’s dispute resolution chamber last week. "If it were entirely up to me‚ I would say [to Dolly] forget it man‚ just go tomorrow and forget about the buyout clause‚ even if they pay us R5 or even if they pay us nothing‚" a candid Motsepe said. "We have got to try and make sure these sort of things do not happen again because this is not good for us [and the club’s image]." Sundowns contested the R12m buyout clause in Dolly’s contract should he receive interest from European clubs.
