Jomo Cosmos boss Jomo Sono says he will continue coaching the team and lead them back to the PSL following their relegation last night.

Cosmos needed a win to keep alive their slim chance of surviving the chop, but in the end could only settle for a 2-2 draw at Sinaba Stadium as they came from two goals down to earn a point.   They now trail second-from-bottom Santos by five points going into the last match of the season on Saturday.   Sono says he will continue coaching the team in the National First Division and believes he will get his side back soon.   "Jomo Sono will be there and will be back again," he says.   He was full of praise for his team in the manner in which they bounced back after going 2-0 down and feels they could have won the game.   "I thought in the first half we played very well; we created a lot of chances. In the second half we gave them two easy goals but then whole team woke up and we started attacking.   "We could have won the game after 2-2 but we missed chances. I thought the guys played very well. I'm proud of them. They have been playing like this the whole year and I cannot fault them, blame them or anything," he adds.   Leopards interim coach Sunday Chidzambwa was disappointed with the draw, saying his side gave it away after leading 2-0.   "We gave it away when we were comfortably in the lead. If you lead 2-0 you should be home and dry, but we gave it away."

We know he'll bounce back... no doubt about that.

The question should be, when will this team stop playing yoyo?

JOMO please get a coach you can fire like any other clubs. Look at Black Leopards how many coaches have they fired? How many coaches were fired in the current season? The reason your team is relagated is because you ran out of ideas.

ref sithole was bribed by top people who hate jomo for having his own thing. they are jelous of jomo sono cause no one in psl owns 100% of team shares. khoza handled the ball, blocking it not to cross the goal line, he use both hands. he was surpose to get a red card and jomo cosmos deserved a penalty there. ezenkosi was all over leopards if you saw the game. f-u-c-k south african soccer. fifa must investigate this shi-t.

Cosmos used to have talented players, not average players& used to have high objectives like champions league(semifinalists in 1993), league title(which they won in 1987). Jomo also used to have someone assisting him with coaching duties while taking care of other things. He needs to go back & fetch that 'recipe' that he threw away or else his team will go extinct like other former greats lyk Durban City, Bush Bucks,ETC

Ofcourse Cosmos didn't loose it yesterday, but Sithole always has a way of bringing controversy when ever it suits him. I wonder what was he thinking when he gave chiefs a penalty against Arrows which subsequently led VV to strip Tau the captain arm band. Just look what he did to chiefs. I hope he wont officiate at Mabhida ngoba we might fall victims of his absurdness way of refeering!

Back to the topic, what will make Jomo learn that he can't be a chairman, coach, kit manager, security, his own PA, player agent....etc at once. If he keeps on being unreasonable & stubborn this will be a story of his life forever.

Black Leapards cannot defend I dont c them surviving, unless Cosmos can hold Santos FC. How u allow a team to come back but u know u need a maximum points for the game. They can score but they cannot defend.

Jomo must hire a coach.. Jomo must get a new coach whom he can fire... Wow.. as if it is easy as said. When hiring a coach .. giving him a contract and terminate.. you got to pay him for certain portion of the contract... Remember when Jomo said Cosmos is RICH... Yes.. because he save money to keep his team afloat... He is running a business and making sure he does not lose money on legal costs ... Let Motaung fire Bobbey before Jomo hires a coach... You can hire and fire and still get relegated.. so what? What do you win after that!? it is actually a loss...

Hands off Sithole in yesterday's game. That was not a penalty period. He was spot on in that decision and you the tv arms critics had an advantage of a replay but still complain even after Mr Ntombela got convinced that it wasn't after a very slowest replay. Stop pushing own selfish develish agendas and share constructive views with bloggers

Ref Sithole must officiate at Mabhida...he messed up Kaizer Chiefs against Ajax twice before and some dunderheads sang him all sorts of praises. I wish it happens to them, they will jump and align Stupid Sithole to some team.

It's pretty clear that Bra J enjoys playing in NFD than PSL... unfortunately rules are rules he has to come back, but I think if it was up to him he will just be playing there.
