‘Cold War’ could become hotter today

Posted: 2010-07-29 09:46

Heated action in the ‘cold war’ between the PSL and Safa could emerge today after a meeting of the League’s executive meeting.

The PSL gave notice after the controversial Safa elections last year, which brought Kirsten Nemanthandi into power, that they intended challenging the procedural validity of the poll after both Irvin Khoza and Danny Jordaan withdrew their nominations for the presidential post vacated by Molefi Oliphant.

However, both Fifa boss Sepp Blatter and Jacob Zuma stepped in shortly afterwards and requested both parties to shelve the matter until after the World Cup, and as a consequence the lid has been kept on the simmering pot.

PSL CEO Kjetil Siem says the Safa election issue is not on today’s agenda – which has not been made public - but could come up at the next executive meeting or before the Board of Governors gathering.

Siem’s own future at the PSL is also another matter up for discussion as his contract with the league is about to expire.

A further thorny issue that needs to be discussed is the League’s stand on Safa’s proposal that the quota of foreign players plying their trade in the professional ranks be cut so as to create more development opportunities of young, local players.

Bafana’s new coach Pitso Mosimane has echoed this call, but judging from the remarks on the Amakhosi website of Kaizer Motaung, a member of the League’s Joint Liason committee with Safa, this is not readily acceptable.

Motaung says: “The call to exclude players from other countries is essentially retrogressive and should immediately be dismissed as countering all our efforts to raise the standard of football in our country.

“The challenge we all have is to strengthen our development structures so that we breed credible players that can reach professional and international levels in football. By so saying, all fingers point at Safa which I believe holds the reigns as custodian of youth development.

“The immediate assignment is to rekindle school soccer to follow the erstwhile tradition of using schools as breeding grounds for professionals,” he adds.

Maestro KC: 2010-07-29 10:35

hehehehe let the games begin

Proffesor: 2010-07-29 10:39

So Danny Jordaan is now a member of FIFA - checking stadiums for 2020
And also busy now fighting for the CAF president position against the Hyena

Nemanthandi is now all alone now… I wont count Leslie… the Lions are attacking the springbok! Hehehe Things will heat up ne manje… so if Nemanthandi loses this case it means;
• New Safa president
• New Bafana coach

SAFA & PSL officials should put their differeces aside and focus on development. The money generated from the world cup 2010 should sponsor league the reserve league. Those clubs that have their own development have limited games to keep them fit and ready. Our junior national teams are not doing well because they lack some game time.
I am under impression that the colonnel will focus on his club and leave SAFA democratic electected committee alone.

Sure Motaung, you need those Zimbabweans.

Kaizer Motaung has no South Africa's best interest at heart, he only cares about his Chimps? Until these type of greedy individuals are removed from the leadership of soccer, South Africa will remain a sleeping giant for years to come...!!!

I understand...he is thinking of his zim buy1 get1 free...lol

Kaizer Motaung knows what he is talking about. No short-cuts Mr Pitso. Your idas are fine but ophaphetse ho annoucer.

Undisputed Reigning Champ Mopheme (( All Trophies )): 2010-07-29 13:26

I don't like Kaizer Motaung's kaizer chimpz and all other chimpanzees but he is right. We can't blame foreign players for the pathetic display of bafana bafana and shift the blame to where we are not supposed to. Instead Psl should open up the league for foreign players like England does in the UK. Kaiser it shows you learned good governance from Dr.Khoza but don't concentrate only on Zimbabweans.

eish eish eish kaizer u cheap-o hw the hel are zims raisin the standards of our soccer hey eish wsts up wit this guy mara!

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-07-29 14:18

I also agree with the Chief Chimp ngisho uKaizer phela. The problem is not foreign players. If you have 5 foreign players in a team then you can also have 30 local players. Anyone who impresses the coach make-up the starting 11. U yabheda nje uNemathandani nalo Pitso wakhe.

Champ "Superbrand": 2010-07-29 14:42

KAizer is Khoza's boy. The cold War is on and is about to be hot. Where is Khoza's troops the Kaizer chimps supportes?

Pierre: 2010-07-29 14:43

Some people are just stupid and ignorant; I thought the issue of Chiefs buying good players in Zim has now been put to rest. For people to say Chiefs need Zim players, it is very hypocratic because Chiefs did not buy any single player from Zim for the coming season. Sundowns raided the Zim Players' market for the upcoming season like they were in competition with other teams. They also bought a player who is a cheat; why don't you talk about it?. I am not suprised with Sundowns because their former coach claimed that they are dying slowly and the players agents have also went public about the lack of professionalism at Sundowns.

@Pierre, you failed to metioned that your Zim Zim team was fighting with Sunflop over Zim players that Sunflop signed to end the Monopoly that Nywaturena Phuza village had in Zimbabwe. Zimbabweans are awake now, no more exploitation, thats why so far you have not signed one Zim player.
