A Briefly News source could not discuss Lorch in detail but said the club is experiencing multiple changes, including Steve Komphela's return as head coach.

The source said:

"There have been talks about certain players at the club leaving and there being issues about their status at the club, but the fact remains that there are contracts that were signed. With the contracts come obligations that both the club and players have to honour. With a new coach, changes will be made at the club, but for now, preparing for next season is the main focus."

Fans show sympathy for Lorch

Masandawana fans took to social media, saying Lorch should be given a fair chance at Sundowns after only joining the club six months ago.

Bheki Mtetwa disagrees with Berg:

"Lorch is still a good player; even Chiefs can sign him. This thing of Flemming is now personal. He's not bigger than the club."

"Not true."
