Premiership clubs are concerned about injuries to their players in the DStv Compact Cup, and disgruntled and shocked that the Premier Soccer League allegedly did not consult teams before announcing the tournament.
TimesLIVE spoke to officials from four more DStv Premiership clubs, all on condition of anonymity, who expressed dissatisfaction about the format of a tournament that sees four compilation sides drawn from players voted for by the public from four streams of four top flight clubs.
Clubs are up in arms that a tournament that uses their players, whose salaries they pay, and who they need fighting fit to compete for surviving relegation, finishing in the top eight, or trying to win the title at the crucial death end of the 2021-22 season, was organised without their consultation.
