Former Kaizer Chiefs wizard Jabu Mahlangu has echoed the sentiments of Brian Baloyi regarding Financial Fair Play in the PSL!

Mamelodi Sundowns have won five league titles in a row with their most recent one coming in last season’s treble.

Sundowns have dominated the Premier Soccer League but this hasn’t come cheap for the Brazilians.

What FFP simply means is preventing teams from spending more than they earn.

And now Mahlangu has urged the league to take measures to prevent it from becoming redundant.

“I think it’s high time the PSL and Safa sit down and find a way to implement financial fair play rules in our local league, just like in Europe.” the Kaizer Chiefs legend said as quoted by IOL.

“In Europe, these rules already exist and I feel like Sundowns are negatively impacting the balance of the league. Yes, they have the financial muscle to do it, but it weakens the league because they buy all the superstars.

“I don’t want to take anything away from Sundowns, they have a great team and they play great football. But imagine if all the superstars at Sundowns were playing week in and week out? That would strengthen our national team.”

“My honest opinion is, there will never be anyone that will compete with Sundowns for as long as things are the way they are.” the Kaizer Chiefs legend said as quoted by Sowetan.

“Sundowns will keep on winning the league until something like what happened in England happens here.

“By the end of the first round whoever is second and third, they (Sundowns) buy your players and cripple you and you are not going to compete. They have been doing it consistently.”
