"They mean business," says sphiwemsibitso.

"Konje how many foreign spots are available for each team?" asks Zohlah.

"You should be worried about your team getting a coach first before sniffing your nose in Sundowns' business. Sundowns has been doing this for a long time now. You and other Chiefs supporters have been asking the same question over and over again," replies Saavedra.
