Sundowns' success is due to money, says Brandon Truter

“If you don’t have the best young talent, no disrespect, but we are settling for average to good players, while Sundowns can buy whatever they want.

“That’s where Fifa (financial) fair play comes in.

“My bosses at Sekhukhune and, I think, those in the rest of the country, don’t have the depth of pockets Mr (Patrice) Motsepe has.”

Truter is not the first to suggest a salary cap to try to level the playing field here.

South African Football Association (Safa) president Danny Jordaan, after being re-elected for another term last year, spoke about the need to implement a squad-size cap.

Sundowns are in action against Chippa United at Loftus Stadium in Pretoria on Tuesday (7.30pm).
