Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Fees Moloi has outlined areas he believes the club's management is falling short on.
On Saturday against Chippa United, Amakhosi continued to disappoint their supporters by producing another poor performance as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against the Thabo September- and Kwanele Kopo-coached team.
Chiefs are now in eighth position on the log with only seven matches remaining, meaning their Top Eight spot is in serious danger.

Moloi believes next season the team will continue to struggle.
"As a coach, you must choose who you sign, but at Kaizer Chiefs, the management is the one who signs players. Acoach is forced to use whatever is at his disposal," Moloi tells KickOff.
"It is difficult for a coach to play beautiful football with players that lack the skill and technique.
"The biggest problem at Chiefs is that coaches don't pick their own players, but instead it's the management who chooses who to sign. When Steve Komphela took over at Chiefs, the club had already signed players. They bought injured players like Kabelo Mahlasela from Bloemfontein Celtic.
"It was the same with Molefi Ntseki, he never chose his players. Gavin Hunt, it was the same thing.
"We all know Chiefs will be having a new coach for next season, but with seven games remaining, they still haven't appointed anyone.
"Whoever is going to be the new coach next season should be already here by now, he should already be profiling players he is going to bring in.
"As a club, you can’t sign players for a coach because they might not fit into his philosophy. Mark my words, by the time Chiefs announce the new coach, the pre-season will be left with only two weeks and, as a result, that coach will have no proper pre-season with the team. In recent times, we've seen Chiefs going to pre-season camps without a coach," he continues.
Moloi, who also turned out for the likes of Free State Stars, Manning Rangers and Santos, says there is one solution for South Africa's most-supported club, in his opinion.
"The only solution for Kaizer Chiefs is to appoint a permanent head coach now. The coach should have an input in the planning of the pre-season.

"As for Cavin Johnson, he is not a Kaizer Chiefs type of coach. I have never rated him that much since his days at Platinum Stars.
"Even in Egypt, Al Ahly and Pitso Mosimane released him because they saw he was not adding any value. He is clueless. He is going into matches without a game plan.
"The thing is the players that are there at Chiefs at the moment are all new and they are from different teams."
