Downs must nip it in the bud

The growing uncertainty surrounding several unhappy players at Mamelodi Sundown should never have been allowed to fester for this long.

The club ought to have nipped the issue in the bud well before the new PSL season kicked off.

If the powers that be at Chloorkop aren't careful, the culture of a quiet and honest changing room could soon become a thing of the past. It's almost unheard of for players at Sundowns to effectively down tools in an attempt to force moves, yet that seems to be exactly what's unfolding.

Failure by the club's hierarchy to act decisively sends the wrong message to promising youngsters like Siyabonga Mabena and Malibongwe Khoza.
