Brandon Truter has plans for Richards Bay FC

Truter speaks about Richards Bay in the tweet below:

According to Sowetan Live, Truter said the club is determined to make an impression on the league after they needed to win the PSL playoffs to survive relegation last season.

Truter said:

"So, it is a team that has something to prove. If they want to prove it, I can work with that, and the hunger is there. The amount of time spent on analysis these days is always about weaknesses and strengths, and you look to capitalize on them or make them as uncomfortable to the opponents as possible. But I'm sure teams will make it uncomfortable; it's about how we receive that and react to it."

Fans are pessimistic

Local football fans showed pessimism about Richards Bay on social media, feeling Truter would be in trouble before the end of the year.
