"SuperSport United has been made aware of the old repeated rumours and speculation regarding the potential sale of the club. Please note that these rumours are completely untrue. As stated when these false rumours started in 2019, the club is not for sale.

"The club is seeking legal advise on the publications or persons involved in continually issuing these false statements."

The "publication" or "persons" in question could be Twitter account @Unplayable, which was yet to take down the tweet which set off the firestorm of rumours.

This is not the first time that the club's status was rumoured to be up for sale. In 2021, an annoyed SuperSport United CEO Stan Matthews waspishly denied that they were looking to sell off their Premier Soccer League franchise rights, as was reported by Sport24.
