Is the financial wrapping of Mamelodi Sundowns a negative pressure!
While Mamelodi Sundowns is emerging as a striking force in the Betway Premiership both financially and technically by topping the league championship after all this season from the beginning of the 2024-2025 season, it seems that Chairman Thlopie Motsepe has another opinion as this financial strength that the club has may be a source of additional pressure on the management.
The team is on its way to achieving the eighth title of the league in a row this season, and they are also competing for the title of Nedbank Cup, CAF Champions League, even before reaching the finals of the Club World Cup also held in America this summer.
In recent decades, there have been many pressures on the team from everywhere in South Africa, and claims that the team is significantly distracted from other teams in the league, so the response arrived from Thlopie and made it clear that success is not only about the money disbursement process, but also in the ability to manage the financial disbursement well.
We live in an environment and world where we try as best to be honest with our supporters and football fans as much as possible, so we don’t deny the fact we consider ourselves as a privileged club, But with that privilege comes pressure and with that pressure also comes responsibility, so we have a club President and owner who loves the game so much and is passionate about football.
Thlopie Motsepe said.
We are as a club lucky enough to know the investment that comes from his pocket, is something we must respect and have to work hard to try and return that type of passion with success, They say money doesn’t change people, it reveals the character of the person, with that we always say we have players, we try to attract players with good value, good human beings and as a club, try to give back what we have at events like visiting Uganda.
Thlopie Motsepe concluded.
