PSL Discussion Thread

That club is a family business for the Sono's. It's aim was just to produce players and sell them off. They were quite content with yo yoing between the NFD and PSL but this is a low. I would have thought they could buy themselves back in though.

He's too scrooge McDuck to buy status back and the statuses have grown too expensive these days. I mean the guy drove the team bus to save on money and his players were some of the lowest paid in the league.

At the rate Rhulani is going, he is probably going to continue winning for a while (Sundowns are miles apart from the rest) and he will probably eventually get recruited by a club abroad once he gets bored. They will also offer him a higher salary. I guess that is when we can gauge his abilities.

Rhulani may even get a shot in Europe with a club who may see something in him. I think Pitso would have but age is not on his side so Pitso has to settle for Asia and the Middle East.

We can gauge his abilities right now - CAF Champs League and so far Sundowns have been found wanting.
 
Talking about coaches, Morena Ramorebodi is doing very well, he is the kind of coach who should be permanently on one of the national teams, not nobodies who have never coached independently or won anything.

Interesting bit of history there, I only knew Sundowns history from Zola Mahobe.

Interesting that there seems to have been quite a few decent Indian players who played before the PSL era but it stopped after the PSL. The few that made it were mostly lower end club players.

International coaching is less technical than club coaching and there is a reason average coaches get international jobs, not just in SA but all over the world. Gareth Southgate for example was a very average manager tactically at club level but is a good mentor so a better fit for the England job.

The best managers in Europe also tend to avoid taking international jobs.

Second date for Chiefs and Sundowns, same with Pirates and Stellenbosch, interesting times.

That makes for a pirates downs final. Chiefs can't beat downs especially over two legs. Stellenbosch also can't do the same against pierats.

Sundowns have been looking very ordinary in the first few games, and Pirates were beaten by Stellenbosch in the first game. That's what I like about the beautiful game, sometimes the script doesn't work.

Chiefs are looking super fit looking at how they ran yesterday, and for all the lack of faith I had in him Molefi Ntseki actually looks like a good coach who understand the strength and weaknesses of his players, his subs were spot on yesterday.

I am glad we have found another Nengomasha/Katsande in the Castillo chap, what a player.

RIP and Condolences to his family and friends and Usuthu. A very good striker who never reached his potential, there was a time I thought he was someone Bafana could build a team around.

Yeah, this was shocking. He just got married and looked to be in very good health three months ago. Cancer is a terrible disease.

He definitely deserved a call-up to Bafana Bafana circa 2019-2021.

Holy smokes, he is still listed as the coach/manager. :oops:

It is a vanity project for him now, for sure. ANY other club and he'd have been fired as manager over a decade ago. Footballing and business decisions stopped being made a long time ago.

They used to have pretty decent facilities near the Rand Stadium.
