'Introducing Financial Fair Play in PSL will collapse local football' (SowetanLIVE)

Sports finance and sponsorship expert Nqobile Ndlovu from Cash N Sport believes the wanted introduction of Financial Fair Play (FFP) in the Premier Soccer ...

It’s essentially stopping clubs from spending more money than they can generate from club activities, and without having to inflate the revenues of the club or make them look higher than they are by using owner's money “Financial Fair Play is not fair, there’s no fairness in Financial Fair Play, the rich teams that can attract sponsors will always have more revenue than the teams who can’t. In my opinion, if we brought in Financial Fair Play tomorrow; the football pyramid would collapse in this country,” Ndlovu told MSW host Robert Marawa.

Are Mamelodi Sundowns the most boring team in the PSL? (The South African)

As champions elect Mamelodi Sundowns claimed yet another inevitable PSL win, we can't shake the feeling that it's getting a bit dull.

Giants will always be giants and their time will come again. On their debut in the top-flight, Richards Bay have been a breath of fresh air. Even more crucially, their performance in their second season in the top-flight will be the true test. The Brazilians have a level of owner investment that feels like a cheat code, and it ensures that their squad is always packed with quality. There is no romance to this story, and almost nobody is enjoying the ride, except for the club’s fans of course. Right now, everything that Sundowns do feels as though it’s a means to an end, and it’s taking them to a predetermined destination.

Jabu Mahlangu's comments on Mamelodi Sundowns are misguided (Independent Online)

What Jabu Mahlangu should have rather done is criticise the other teams in the Premiership for not being able to match the runaway log leaders, who are now ...

While Mahlangu is perfectly correct in terms of deeming the quality of soccer in the Premiership to be low, his claims about Sundowns being a problem are not fair. Had they really been invincible, they would have also been stronger in the Caf Champions League, a tournament which they have only won in 2016. Letters should be a maximum of 500 words, and may be edited for length. Submissions should include a contact number and physical address (not for publication). While money has certainly helped Sundowns, it is not the sole factor behind their successes. They did struggle to get going in the early stages of the season and were also knocked out of the MTN8 by Orlando Pirates.

Hunt's tip to punters: Don't bother betting on PSL teams (Citizen)

Hunt has a tip for you that might save you from more misery of losing a bet - Do not place a bet on Premier Soccer League teams.

When a team has not won for some time, those are the dangerous teams but when a team has been winning, you might have a chance,” he said, presumably not including Mamelodi Sundowns in his analysis, given that they have won 13 league games on the bounce. No, not in the PSL. “We can talk all day and say it might be an easy win but they will be up for it. “Don’t bet in the PSL. I would take him any day, but we can’t afford him,” said Hunt. Well, SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt has a tip for you that might save you from more misery of losing a bet – Do not place a bet on Premier Soccer League teams.
