PSL must do much better next season after disruptive campaign

THE teething problems were there even before the season officially got underway, but the masses held their breath, hoping for everything to fall into place.

But it wasn't to be. The PSL was brought about disrepute throughout the season, so much so that there'll be better expectations next season.

Perhaps the fact that the majority of the fans are not rating the design of the new Premiership trophy by Nelson Makamo sums up this season.

Makamo was heavily criticised for his design when the new cup was unveiled last Sunday, with naysayers linking it with the infamous hookah pipes.

The renowned designer tried to justify himself, saying that he got the idea for the trophy through his ancestors as he wanted to produce something iconic.

But the football masses, including yours truly, are having none of that, as his instinctive design didn’t align with football heritage often portrayed through silverware.

Makamo, also, is just unfortunate that he has suddenly become a sacrificial lamb as some of us have been there even before the start to see the signs of a ticking bomb.
