"Stuart Baxter needs to come into terms that some of the players he used back then ain't the same any more... Favouritism needs to end! We having a defender of the season on the bench! We also got the youth and he decides to put them on the bench."

@ShakesRampedi commented:

"I can't believe Kaizer Chiefs have a quality player like Njabulo Ngcobo and he doesn't play. I would love to ask Stuart Baxter why. Probably should have gone back on loan to Swallows FC."

"Baxter is going to wait for Pirates. Start Ngcobo in a funky system and hope for mistakes from him so that he can say 'I told you so', and continue with Mathoho and Cardoso after that."

Gavin Hunt speaks about what happened at Kaizer Chiefs

Briefly News previously reported that former Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt has finally spoken up about what happened at the club and what led to his ultimate sacking. The now Chippa United coach had some very tough goals to meet and he felt that some of them might've been a little unrealistic.

Hunt's final game as Kaizer Chiefs coach was against Black Leopards in the DStv Premiership last season, however, the Chippa United head coach confirmed he was dismissed before that game.

Gavin Hunt claims he was fired after Kaizer Chiefs lost 3-0 to Simba SC in the CAF Champions League round quarter-final away game in Tanzania as per a report by The South African.
