Mamelodi Sundowns coach Johan Neeskens says he will not be intimidated by club fans when making decisions. 

Neeskens felt the wrath of Sundowns supporters when they demanded that he make substitutions during the Nedbank Cup Final against SuperSport United on Saturday.   The Brazilians supporters are thought to have played a part in the firing of former club coaches Henri Michel and Hritso Stoitchkov a few years ago.

_quote However Neeskens had a few words for the Sundowns supporters.   "No one can fire me at Sundowns except two people. That is the president and myself," says Neeskens.   Even though he failed to bring any silverware to Chloorkop this season, Neeskens was satisfied by his team's performance.   "I was new to the players and they were new to me. We had to play a new system and to be fair I want to congratulate them for putting up a great effort this season," he says.   The former Dutch international refused to disclose if he would delve into the transfer market ahead of next season and preferred to talk about his vacation to Portugal and Switzerland during the off-season.

Now, here's a Coach with Balls of Steel. Good going, Neeskens. You are in charge. Neeskens for 2nd Season @ Sundowns. We ight have not managed any Silverware (and it hurts), but we have improved as a team.

How about Chiefs en Downs chase Rantie since his team is only prepared 2 listen 2 offers and not swap deals en pre contracts. Just 2 rub more salt on the rats.

I once argued that this drunk is no coach & he must be fired immediately. A yellow fan called The Game called into orders & professed that this 1 dimensional coach is a messiah. His blunders in the league & the Nedbank has proved me right.

Neeskens must go before Swytes joins Pirates with immediate effect.

Who is interefering with substitutions at Downs? I saw Mambush doing a tshisa mpama sign which ultimately led to the substitution of Pelembe.

Is Neskeens now abused like Motlohi?

Who on his mind can hit a drunk that can be killed by going a minute without a drink? Modau has no shame.

Nc! Nc! Nc! We told this hooligans after they won a treble somewhere in Swaziland that they wont win sh!t here but what did they do? Swear at us. Now they want their drunken master of a coach gone but hey its not suprising at all.

Nespray if you wanna live then I suggest that you hire Bheki Cele as your bodyguard otherwise uSweyts will cut your ballz off(literally).

Goodluck for next season but I prophesy that the one trophy that we CHAMPS donate will be taken by em Zebras.
They are in good shape to win something that I wont Dissagree

Let him stay but I don't see him finishing first round of new season at Sundowns. Improved play without positive results means nothing. Shaya Sandawana shaya.

Mr. Nespruy has failed sundowns, we had offensive players sitting with the reserve team.. what the hell coach ??

Where is Nyatama ?
where is Themba Zwane ??

This coach is useless, Sundown improved nothing.. Supersport beat us fair and square, they were more organised in all departments

Coach you have done well and you deserve an award, we played much better but in football sometimes you need luck to win or succeed. We need to get rid of certain players not the technical team, its high time that we have a long term plan and Neesken is the coach that can deliver. If I could rate you I would give you 8 out of 10. And 8 because you did well in your first assignment in Africa or South Africa......you need to improve on playing a rite player for our position two and penetrating more when we attack......having more bodies in the box.
