Psl Board Of Governors Expected To Finally End Royal Am Saga

The long-running saga of crisis-hit Royal AM should reach finality on Thursday when the PSLs board of governors convenes to discuss the matter at the Sandton Convention Centre.

The board is expected to ratify a recommendation made by the PSLs executive committee exco last week that the KwaZulu-Natal-based club be expelled

This would apparently bring to an end the sag that started after owner Shauwn Mkhize fell foul of the SA Revenue Service Sars, leading to the team being put under curatorship in November. Royal have not kicked a ball competitively since their 3-1 Betway Premiership defeat against TS Galaxy at Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg on December 29.

The PSL exco's recommendation came soon after an attempted auction by the Sars curator fell through because the winning bidders failed to pay an agreed amount.

The expulsion of the club will have a significant affect on the Premiership as the league will finish with 15 teams and all Royals results from the 11 matches they have played this season will be expunged.
