The Buccaneers official shares the effects of the devastating pandemic in terms of wages and his future plans.
Orlando Pirates Administrator Floyd Mbele says they will have to cut their squad in order to change their financial model, while there is still no sign of pay cuts.
The Buccaneers announced the first Premier Soccer League (PSL) coronavirus pandemic in the form of midfielder Ben Motshwari this week, and Mbele stated that there will be a proper consultation before deciding to cut player and staff salaries.
On the other hand, the Soweto giants have teamed up with a number of players to beef up coach Josef Zinnbauer’s team, but according to the senior official, it looks like they may have to release some players.
“At the moment, it is too early to know whether there will be wage cuts or not. Since this situation affects everyone, it is one of those where sooner rather than later, if we do not return to normal, “said Mbele MESS .
“You must understand that running a club is a business. How we earn income, we get grants from the league.
“We receive money from the sponsors. We also receive door tickets. If this financing model does not work, then something will work.
“The important thing is that everyone should be consulted and kept informed about developments.”
Having been linked with Maritzburg United players like goalkeeper Richard Ofori, defenders Siyanda Xulu and Rushine De Reuck, Mbele suggests they may be forced to cut their squad due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Let’s get the technical team involved. We have to change the financial model, “he added.

“We have to consider what will be best for us in the future in terms of numbers and what we can deal with while making sure everyone is ready to move on.
“We have to check those who have kept the small squads in and around the world and see how they are doing it. Those are conversations we should be leading, not the transfer window market. “
Known as one of the richest clubs in terms of sponsorship and enjoying a large following, the Houghton-based club is also feeling the effects of the devastating pandemic, as Mbele explains that football is a business and depends on PSL monthly tickets and grant.
