The following points should be noted in order to set the record straight:
* Emy Casaletti-Page has not worked for Kaizer Chiefs for almost 3
months and therefore is no longer Kaizer Chiefs Brand Manager.
* The only 2 people Emy Casaletti-Page knows at the bid Company are Mr
Danny Jordaan and Mr Irvin Khoza and it is at this level that communications
are conducted.
* The tone of the article smacks of rumour mongering and blatant
wasting of time, neither of these qualities are ones that Emy is associated
to.
* Research and knowledge of the industry would inform the reporter
that R5 million is not a market-related appearance fee, and that Manchester
United would cost less than this.
* This article shows both clubs up as being greedy and unreasonable,
which in fact brings both brands into disrepute
* It was unfortunate that this article was totally unresearched and
unqualified. Articles such as these should at least be bounced off relevant
people for confirmation.
