Mpumalanga Black Aces (File) ~
MPUMALANGA Black Aces are for SALE!
This was confirmed by club boss Mario Morfou to SunSport yesterday.
Morfou told SunSport that they had received many offers from potential buyers, including former Ajax Cape Town CEO John Comitis.
He reveals that Comitis has put down an offer “and many other people are also interested in the club.
“But we haven’t finalised anything yet,” he said after SunSport uncovered Comitis as the front-runner.
“We discussed the matter verbally but haven’t committed ourselves. We want to focus on other businesses.”
Morfou revealed that they would try to convince the buyer not to move the club away from the fanbase in Mpumalanga.
SunSport has reliably learnt that Comitis wants to relocate the club to Cape Town and rename it Cape Town Spurs.
Comitis owned the now defunct Spurs, renamed Ajax in 1999, via the amalgamation of Seven Stars.
However, PSL rules state that a new owner can only relocate or rename the club after two years.
Morfou stressed: “We will try to keep the team in the province if we sell. But if we accept Comitis’ offer you will need to ask him those questions.”
This is not the first time Aces management has put a “for sale” sign on the club. Last year they were linked to relegated AmaZulu.
Comitis was not available for comment.
