A deliberate shifting of goalposts is taking place at SuperSport United. For a club who set the domestic football scene alight by winning three successive championships between 2008 and 2010, Matsatsantsa a Pitori seem to have found comfort in being among the DStv Premiership’s also-rans, always threatening to challenge for the title but never quite there.

This shift in strategy, according to Stan Matthews, is intentional, as the club hierarchy have decided to remodel SuperSport into a club who unearth rough talent, rather than compete for the main trophy.

Naysayers will squirm at Matthews’s admission that SuperSport are deliberately offering the other cheek when they could be more competitive, as seen when they became the first side to score a league goal against Sundowns this season in the Tshwane derby this week, which ended 2-2. The focus now for SuperSport is on producing their own talent, and cashing in when necessary to balance the books. This they’ve done consistently, with the likes of Aubrey Modiba and Grant Kekana sold to Sundowns in the past year.

“We’ve never been afraid to lose our best players because we are always able to replace them. When we renewed the contract of Yeye [Reneilwe Letsholonyane], the aim was for him to help us groom Mokoena and [Sipho] Mbule, and it worked. There already are players waiting in the wings to replace Mokoena. Talent [Thalente] Mbatha and Iniesta [Selaelo] Rasebotja are there, you will hear of them for sure.
