Terms done: Sifiso Billiat is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Free State Stars waiting with a shirt. Nobody at SuperSport United is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

SuperSport United rebuffed over Augustus Kargbo
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Blackburn Rovers have kept their man, and SuperSport United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Liberty Professionals come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and SuperSport United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Erick Furman was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

No thanks: Isaac James rejects the move
SuperSport United had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Alverca, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Kermit Mokoena stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Kermit Mokoena and SuperSport United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Graduation day at SuperSport United
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Ronwen Billiat falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
