Tensions are escalating behind the scenes at Amakhosi as their struggles deepened over the weekend.
Chiefs suffered a setback in their 1-0 defeat against 15th-placed Richards Bay in the Premier Soccer League on Sunday, April 21st. Despite having chances to score, they couldn't find the net.
After the loss, interim coach Cavin Johnson suggested that there were heated exchanges among his players in the dressing room.
GOAL takes a look at what South African fans had to say following Johnson’s remarks.
Johnson needs to toughen up!
I think Johnson is too easy on these players. He's a good coach but at times you got to be brutal. Call a spade, a spade. Those players need to be instructed, if you don't follow instructions, then we bench you! I think (Bruce) Bvuma is the only player doing his job at Chiefs. The rest, they are just enjoying their football and their salaries. - Obuseng Naane
Not the best role models
Imagine Mfundo (Vilakazi) watching these tired madalas (old men) fighting in the locker room. We need to do better! - Ntando Tididi
What a shame!
They can't be arguing playing like that, it means they think they are playing better. They shouldn't be arguing, they should be ashamed. - Mpho Letsoalo
Give Johnson another role
I don't think he's (even) good enough to be in the development, maybe as a Kit Manager. Johnson is a liability. - Samuel Mukheli
Not suitable!
These players don't deserve to play for Chiefs! - Momelezi Tshalisi
Give them fines!
Chiefs players must be docked 30% from their monthly salary for their poor performances. Their under par performances is unacceptable for Kaizer Chiefs calibre. - Masai
There’s one solution…
You'd swear Kaizer Chiefs players are not being paid. My wish is for them to get relegated, that's the only way for the management to wake up. - Mkha Luli
Boot camp calling…
Kaizer Chiefs need a boot camp. If players are going to argue like little kids bickering over an ice cream, it simply shows it's been brewing. It's time up, send these kids to boot camp! - Motjilela wa Leoka
Better days ahead
The boys must stick together, we win as a team, we lose as a team. Wishing things get better at Naturena for the Glamour Boys. - Njakazanaebukhali
Face reality!
So y'all are aware and cognisant of the fact that players lose spirit and their morale/confidence takes a nosedive completely when they hear all-round negative utterances thrown at them daily but you still do it and expect them to show high and positive spirit? Hayikhona, come on man! - Holby Montjane
