This is because the PSL has decided to appeal the verdict of the Disciplinary Committee not to deduct points from Sundowns in the matter involving the illegal fielding of Wayne Arendse. trueG_88
"Our legal team is ready and we received a legal notice of appeal yesterday [Tuesday] from the PSL. We are busy preparing our papers and we will fight to protect our rights.
"We will have to file our papers and obviously this matter has to be treated with urgency because the last match is Saturday. So in the coming days it will unfold." Downs coach Pitso Mosimane admitted that the long drawn-out case has left a bitter taste in the mouth. "I don't want to speak again because I don't want to be the coach who is always talking. I am a football coach and want to stick to the pitch," Mosimane said."You saw my substitutions. I need Gaston Sirino, Themba Zwane, [and] Lebo Maboe on the weekend. I am managing this thing and at this point we have to grind [out] the results," he said.
"It has been an emotional season because we had to do what we had to do. Last year we won it with 59 points but the goals are no longer there because one [of our former goal-scorers] is a top player in Belgium [Percy Tau] and the other is at Naturena [Khama Billiat]."
