I’m
shocked but not surprised that most South Africans have fallen pray to Shakes
Mashaba's emotional game... that guy needs to take a hard look at himself
before he goes around pointing fingers at people who are competent at their jobs.
His
personal attack on Irvin Khoza is uncalled and lacks professionalism... it is
NOT The Duke who instructed Premier Soccer League teams NOT to release players.
Shakes
needs to open his eyes and realise that he is been sabotaged by South African
Football Association (SAFA) and Robert Marawa (host of Discovery Sports Centre
with Robert Marawa).
SAFA
were able to present Pitso Mosimane's programme to the PSL early, hence an
extra week was given to Pitso to prepare that embarrassment against Sierra
Leone... also, and the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) period was made available
under the assumption that the DANCERS (Bafana Bafana) would qualify... now; PSL
was never given adequate schedule to accommodate the under-23s.
Granted,
this coming weekend is FIFA international weekend (11/12/13 November 2011), but
SHAKES requires these players for the weekend, camp and the Olympic qualifiers
in Morocco... is this fair on the clubs? Considering that FIFA doesn’t really
recognize under-23s?
If
I was a club owner, I wouldn’t release any player for Shakes!
