The PSL officials will most likely have something to say about Mosimane’s latest missive as they have leaned over backwards to accommodate Sundowns’ requests for fixture postponements as they continued to progress in the Caf Champions League.
'I have made enemies‚' says Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane
Outspoken Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane says his recent public verbal spats with the Premier Soccer League (PSL) over the Wayne Arendse saga have created enemies for him.
The long‚ drawn-out saga took another twist this week when the PSL's Disciplinary Committee ruled that Sundowns would not be docked the point they gained from the draw against Bidvest Wits‚ even though the player and the club were slapped with a monetary fine.
Mosimane has not held back in the last couple of weeks and has criticised the disciplinary committee for taking too long to reach a final decision.
He went as far as suggesting that the indecision was undermining his side's attempt to defend their Absa Premiership title.
“I am still saying that this year‚ whether Sundowns win the league or not‚ I am not proud of the way the programme happened because it disturbed us a lot‚” he said after the hard fought 2-1 win over Black Leopards at Thohoyandou Stadium on Tuesday.
“There have been perceptions and allegations.

The PSL officials will most likely have something to say about Mosimane’s latest missive as they have leaned over backwards to accommodate Sundowns’ requests for fixture postponements as they continued to progress in the Caf Champions League.
Sundowns’ win over Leopards has brought them level on points with Orlando Pirates at the summit of the log table and Mosimane said the heavy schedule has necessitated a rotation of his squad.
“Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t work out like against SuperSport United where we came from a battle with Al Ahly‚" he said.
"We came with casualties of six injured players and we came from Rabat with casualties like Tiyani Mabunda‚ Lebohang Maboe and you saw that my substitutions told a story of trying to save legs.
"The programme is heavy guys but what can you do?
“We are fighting
"It is very difficult to go to Rabat‚ Cairo and we are hanging in there and we believe that Sundowns will score on Saturday.
"It is going to be very difficult but the goals are always there in Atteridgeville.
"But Wydad is a team capable of scoring.
"That is my only issue and I hope that we keep them quite.
