Neeskens: I am frustrated

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Johan Neeskens concedes that he is a 'frustrated man'

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Johan Neeskens concedes that he is a 'frustrated man' after club fans called for his resignation after the League game against Maritzburg United at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday.

Sundowns were beaten 2-1 by United, resulting in fans storming up the tunnel leading to the dressing rooms after the game demanding that the Dutchman resigns.

A security guard was rushed to hospital after getting injured during the skirmish, which only managed to cool down after the arrival of police.

"I'm also frustrated, the same as the fans; people from the club and the players, we all need to get over this. We have to take responsibility and try to regroup," Neeskens says.

The Sundowns fans chanted Pitso Mosimane's name and demanded that club boss Patrice Motsepe hires the former Bafana Bafana coach as a replacement for Neeskens.

"It's okay if another coach is coming, it's okay, but that is up to the club board to decide. I want to continue because I want to fight. I want to come out of this and also with the players that are available, only by fighting hard can we come out of this as a team.

"I cannot do it alone; you need all the support, but that needs to start from the players. They have to take responsibility on the field."

The Dutchman said he is ready to continue with his job at Chloorkop despite the fans wanting his resignation.

"It's not only happening here it happens all over the world and is one of the things that you need to accept. I understand the frustration of the fans and as I have said we will try to fight back and will come out of this.

"Everybody must come out and fight, I can't do this alone. I want to fight with the group of players and hope things will get better," Neeskens adds.

Any coach in the world would be mad to take the reigns at this joke of a club. Not even Pep will succeed

It's not only happening here" - Lol. Is he refereing to our neighbours here or what? Mushekwi is your best striker and yet you start with him on the side not as your target man. What did you expect from the man with Schicco hair style.

Solution- Bring back Tsiclas at the helm. Fire all the deadwoood who have no love or interest of the team at heart. Playing 4-5-1 is not working - 2 strikers is the way to go. Stop chopping and changing esp the backline. Work on the players mentality - they are either too relaxed, complacent or dont have a winning mentality. We need goals, wins and cups Mr Neeskens. If you cant deliver these with the arsenal you have, maybe it's best you leave us. Dankie

Good Morning all

aag the weekend was boring, stuart baxter, Palacious, Naskeens they must all be fired. baxter how can he play nkosi for 90 minutes and makes late substitution, as for the two coaches they are just clueless they have quality but fail to win.

Hola7 is the thing of the past nowadays we say Hola3

Firing the coach wont solve any problem for 'Downs. They have been firing coaches left, right and centre and that hasn't been helping, so obviously the problem lies NOT with the coach, kukhona izambane elibolile okumele lisuswe. As long as Trott and Makhanya are still there, even the "Only One" wouldn't succeed. It is clear that Sundowns players are not getting instructions from one person, their heads seem to be spinning. Until Motsepe removes Makhaynya and Trott from the club, 'Downs wont go anywhere... Thanks for the 3 points yesterday, we appreciate them very much #TeamOfChoice

Mr Heinken what about you call Njenje and discuss your resignation over a glass of your favourite wine.

Njenje is a typical Kaizer Chiefs fan and he needs to leave us in peace. Like Boa Morte said i too can coach Pirates and win things. These guys are not coaches but puppets.

But Mr Heinken we will always remember you for the FOUR you gave the CV Bryaa. That was magnificent and proved how average those cows are and how corrupt the Fraudster is in terms of tactics.
