MUSA Gwasira insists he is still the Dynamos treasurer despite reports he suffered the public humiliation of being sacked with the message being delivered by the club’s bouncers.
Sources at the Glamour Boys insist the message from club owner, Bernard Marriot, was delivered via the team’s bouncers.
Reports yesterday said he had been replaced by Justice Mubaiwa who, until now, was just a member of the club’s executive committee.
But Gwasira told H-Metro yesterday that he was still the Dynamos treasurer.
This is despite authoritative leaks from the Glamour Boys camp that he has become the latest executive committee member to be AXED.
“Not even,” said Gwasira when asked if the leaks that he had been fired were correct.
“Not true, I was not around (on Sunday).”
However, sources at the club said Gwasira has become the latest executive member to be sacrificed after falling out with the powerful Marriot family.
“You should know that those who take the post of the Dynamos treasurer are always living on borrowed time and we can say that Beadle (Gwasira) actually stayed longer than was expected,” said the sources.
“Issues to do with money are quite a sensitive thing at Dynamos because of the direct interest of the Marriot family in basically every cent which comes through the coffers.
“The trust between Beadle and the Marriot family was broken when Marriot’s monthly salary, which includes his monthly DStv subscription, which he gets from the club, was revealed to the media.
“Remember this is club which hasn’t been paying the players their winning bonuses all season and still owe a number of players their signing-on fees.
“The Marriot family felt it was embarrassing that the old man’s salary, and DStv subscription, was not only made public but has been paid religiously and they started a witch-hunt.
“The fingers were pointed at the treasurer and while there was no evidence that he was the one to blame for the leaks, the damage had been done.
“But, maybe, it was the manner in which he was dismissed, with the message being carried by the monyas (security staff) which was quite humiliating.
“However, when you accept any leadership post at Dynamos you should always be prepared for such rough endings.”
The Glamour Boys are struggling in the championship race, which is staggering towards the halfway stage, and are 11 points adrift of leaders FC Platinum.
Dynamos have won once in their last six league games.
