Ajax defeat a bitter pill to swallow

Ajax defeat a bitter pill to swallow
Ajax loss to Black Leopards in their final play-off match has left a very bitter taste in my mouth.I have nothing personal against Black Leopards, but I was looking forward to seeing Ajax in the elite league.Ajax has contributed immensely to the promotion and development of South African Football, through systematic youth development program.Unlike Black Leopards who are renowned for firing coaches like nobody's business,Ajax is very professional and would have loved to see them campaign in the PSL than in the obscured GladAfrica. The first thing Leopards are going to do less than 6 games into the season they'll fire coach Shivambu, and replace him with another coach whom they'll also fire before the end of the season.Their contribution is less than acceptable, while I don't attempt to take anything away from the Thedieles for their economic contributions to the country, but football wise they've come very short.Ajax was built on the foundation of youth development, with Wits now gone, Supersport, is our only hope.Each team must be obliged by law to have a systematic youth development program which include all the age groups.Having only MDC team is not enough for soccer development as some teams currently treat MDC as their only development program.The Ajax defeat has robbed us indeed, and its bitter pill to swallow.
