?? ?? @siyaronin In this economic climate, I don’t see any one lining up, begging to sponsor the PSL. @Maanomadim­a

?? ?? @mdonizo Now that Absa has pulled out of sponsoring the league, all the fans of other clubs who always blame Khoza and Motaung of being controllin­g in running the league, can step up and look for the new sponsor.

?? ?? Absa terminated its sponsorshi­p with PSL because it wasn’t getting its investment return from them. For instance. Orlando Pirates v Sundowns matches would exclusivel­y air on Supersport not on SABC that has a bigger audience. Absa wasn’t happy about it.

?? ?? @Turkishnab­s The PSL made a billion rands in revenue last financial year and no doubt, they’ll have someone lined up to take on the leaguenami­ng rights. Covid will likely delay an announceme­nt because there is no league and even when it returns, there will be no fans for a while. That’s a hard sell. @Selektah12

?? ?? @Mphele_ Absa prize money is R15m a season, their next competitio­n sponsors must fight to surpass that cash ..... Otherwise losing Absa as a sponsor will be a loss to our league.

?? ?? @Georgemaku­balo I don’t blame Absa for ending its relationsh­ip with PSL. The PSL has failed to grow the brand in the last 10 years. They grew too comfortabl­e and alienated the fans. @Advngcukai­tobi

?? ?? @_Ritobaloyi I can’t blame Absa Bank for pulling out as the PSL sponsor, we don’t even go to stadiums to support. We only go to big games, plus the team that was supportive in terms of fans on every game is being sold.

?? ?? The biggest sponsorshi­p in African football has come to an end. The revenue the PSL will lose from this is massive.

?? ?? @eliotchauk­e1 Finally.. let’s hope the new sponsors will not exploit PSL teams. PSL prize must be R35 million (at least)

?? ?? The “2010 Honeymoon” is over, I doubt the PSL will be able to draw a title sponsor like Absa especially during these tough economic times.
