Pirates have gone three games without scoring a goal and suffered their second successive defeat when Swallows beat them 3-0 in a League clash on Saturday. Before that SuperSport United also beat them by the same score to knock them out of the MTN8 Cup.
'Njenje' has since apologised to the club's fans for the poor results and assures them the situation will soon improve.
"I want to apologise to Pirates fans for the recent poor results. No-one goes into the matches to lose, but unfortunately luck has not been on our side in terms of winning games," says Palacios.
"I always tell the players to go on the field to fight for three things: they must fight for themselves, their families and the club supporters.
"We are determined to pull ourselves together and with the help of our supporters we will bounce back."
Palacios also pleaded for a correction to the statement printed in newspapers where he is alleged to have said "It's up to the chairman to fire him".
"I have been with this club for 17 years and I always try to give of my best for any duties given to me by the chairman. I was misquoted by saying that it’s up to chairman to relieve me of my duties as head coach at Pirates.
"I am ready to continue with my job at Pirates until a decision by the club management is made," he adds.
Your comments on this story...
You must stop it with this rotation system of yours coz it has brought nothing but inconsistent performances from the players. If a player doesn't show that he will fight for the jersey during training, why should he be included in the starting eleven? heh? Why?
I blame this whole gemors squarely on Khoza
True that mvana..... My hapiness nowdays is beyond description thanx to you Njenje
Up the Bucs(Njenje-less)
this ill dicipline I am not saying I can manage them but players like Jali, Ace Lekgoathi their experience is
well read or known why cant other new players utilised.
We mourning with them. If Pitso is what the chairman want the chairman will get him.
This is one of the elements that make me love this team even more n even better, Njenje has been forced by our chairman to apologized to the club owners the fans, we are valued and appreciated in this team, we all know what happened to Chiefs fans when they just raised question to Bobby.
Njenje i will welcome your apology as soon as you vacate that sit, its the hottest sit in the country, please tell Tebogo to leave with you. Now i go to the stadium because of the love i have for this team.
We cannot select Myeni ahead of Sox, u cannot take a defensive bench to the games, always have Ndulula n Mayambela, these are impact players ask Kroll. u better start playing Bester n Viera n Okonko before we do a marikana on you.
The other one said he sees no way forward....now this say its up to the chairman to fire me, what kind of a say are those when u are placed to take charge of matters.
