Disregard For Sound Governance Lands Psl With Egg On Its Face

The Premier Soccer Leagues PSL image has been severely tarnished after Royal AM FC's tumultuous tenure was sparked by their refusal to play in the relegation/promotion playoffs of the 2021 season.

It should then have served as a warning to the PSL hierarchy that Royal AM was not a club that would enhance the image of the league. The PSL bent over backwards to accommodate them, even rescheduling play-off fixtures.

When the club failed to win promotion to the Premiership, Royal AM decided to enter the elite league through the back door and bought the Bloemfontein Celtic Premiership franchise.

As a result, Royal AM started playing at the start of the 202122 Premiership season.

It was a sad day for PSL football because this club showed scant regard for sound governance and should not have been allowed to purchase a Premiership franchise.
