"The transition happened too quickly, maybe they should have let the team be based in Bloem for few months to allow a smooth transition."
@IamLesson commented:
"62 is too much I guess she may have to allow other players to leave the club and have a manageable group of players so that they can be paid."
@Chayyim_Melchi said:
"Where will she get the money to buy apartments for players? Even Sundowns can't afford to buy apartments for players."
Royal AM has an unconvincing start to the DStv Premiership
Briefly News reported that Royal AM is finally in the DStv Premiership after a while of trying but they, unfortunately, lost their first encounter in the league against Swallows FC. Shauwn Mkhize recently bought Bloemfontein Celtic and changed the name of the club.
There was a lot of scrambling to get things started since the sale was confirmed just days before the league kicked off. It's understandable that things didn't get off to a flying start in the beginning. The match was lost 1-0.
Mzansi has been keeping a close eye on the situation and were wondering if the club would start with a win. Swallows FC has experience in the league and showed just that during the match.
