KWEKWE United owner and president Phil Makekera says he is willing to sell his shares at the club.
The Midlands based outfit has found the going tough in their maiden season in the top flight.
Their brief stay in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League so far has been punctuated by administrative chaos and mayhem.
This has largely been due to Makekera struggling to meet the financial demands of playing in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
And it appears, it has dawned on him that he cannot do it alone, and is now looking for willing partners.
“It is not true, I have not resigned, how can I resign from my own team,” he told The Echo Sports.
“I’m simply selling shares to interested parties.”
Did Makekera resign?
Earlier on Wednesday, reports had suggested Makekera had thrown in the towel at the beleaguered club.
“Good morning gentlemen, it is with a heavy heart that I’m tendering my resignation from the team with immediate effect,” Makekera reportedly told the club’s executive in a WhatsApp message.
“I would like to concentrate on my family that I have neglected for years pursuing this project,he added.
“I will relinquish my shareholding in the team as follows, 20% community, 80% business people.”
However, it appears, he has backed down on his earlier assertion opting to sell shares instead.
The club is currently at the bottom of the 18 team log and it will be interesting to see if Makekera will get any offers.
