"Dynamos Spent US$140 000 On New Signings"
Dynamos reportedly spent more than US$140 000 on new signings last season but failed to win a single piece of silverware.
Dynamos are bankrolled by Sakunda Holdings and the energy company’s funds enabled DeMbare to recruit more than seven players, including three more foreigners.
In fact, the Glamour Boys had five foreigners on their books, the highest by a local Premiership team last term.
The five were Cameroonian Albert Eonde and Ghanaian Sylvester Appiah plus the three who were signed last season, that is, Alex Orotomal of Nigeria as well as the Ghana duo of Emmanuel Paga and Martin Ofori.
The Herald reported a source as saying that Dynamos’ failure to win a single trophy last season after spending a lot of money on new players led to the sacking of executive chairman, Isaiah Mupfurutsa, and head coach, Tonderai Ndiraya. Said the source:

I can tell you that the club (Dynamos) spent more than US$140 000 in bringing in new recruits last season.
It’s a huge amount, especially considering that the team failed to win any silverware.
Obviously, something had to give. People have been saying Ndiraya deserved some more time at Dynamos and they were a bit justified if one looks at the bigger picture.
But after he had pressed the management that the team should sign so and so players for such hefty amounts and then failing to deliver, he had to be sacrificed.
It was actually a contested decision but after looking at such things, everyone agreed that it was time he paved the way for others.
That is the same thing that happened to Mupfurutsa. He was the head of the executive and the leadership felt he had been given sufficient time and support at the helm and still failed to deliver any silverware.
Dynamos finished the league race third behind FC Platinum and Chicken Inn after exiting the Chibuku Super Cup in the quarter-finals.
DeMbare also lost in the Presidential Independence Trophy final against Highlanders at Barbourfields. | The Herald
