The terraces1 Oct 2035

Supporters organise against the University of Pretoria board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Match29 Sep 2035

No end in sight to University of Pretoria's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at University of Pretoria has to find a result from somewhere.

Sifiso Mahlangu puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at University of Pretoria, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout1 Oct 2035

Evidence Ngcobo frozen out at University of Pretoria

This is not rotation. Evidence Ngcobo has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at University of Pretoria is pretending otherwise.

The dugout1 Oct 2035

Itumeleng Phiri: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” University of Pretoria have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad1 Oct 2035

Tempers go at University of Pretoria

Luvoyo Phewa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match29 Sep 2035

A bad afternoon for University of Pretoria against Jomo Cosmos

1‑3 to Jomo Cosmos, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match29 Sep 2035

University of Pretoria are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Market1 Oct 2035

Evidence Ngcobo told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Evidence Ngcobo has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at University of Pretoria.

Supporters organise against the University of Pretoria board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Boardroom6 Aug 2035

University of Pretoria put Interim Coach on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Boardroom6 Aug 2035

Emergency meeting at University of Pretoria

The whole football department in one room on a weekday morning. Nothing was announced afterwards, which is what a board announces when it has run out of patience.

Erick Manyama puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at University of Pretoria, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom6 Aug 2035

5 academy graduates step up at University of Pretoria

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad6 Aug 2035

Eric Mbangossoum stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eric Mbangossoum and University of Pretoria agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets6 Aug 2035

Free State Stars tell University of Pretoria: Jayden Van der Walt is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad6 Aug 2035

Luvoyo Phewa 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.

Market6 Aug 2035

University of Pretoria promote Morgan Billiat from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Morgan Billiat has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
