• Pressure is beginning to mount at Kaizer Chiefs as the results for the club are not looking very pretty or convincing

Kaizer Chiefs is breaking the bank when it comes to their payroll. Even though the club isn't getting the results they want, some people are still taking home fat cheques at the end of the day. Stuart Baxter and Samir Nurkovic in particular are one of the highest earners at the club.

Nurkovic has not scored in his last five games for the club and has yet to score in the four PSL matches he has played so far. To make matters worse, he hasn't appeared to have anything to contribute in terms of offence.

According to the official SA Rich and Famous website, Baxter is the highest-paid coach in the PSL, although his club is now in 12th place and just suffered a humbling 4-1 loss to DStv Premiership newcomers Royal AM.

The South African reports that at Chiefs, things must shift quickly. Baxter was called in to help them turn their fortunes around, and he'll need time to do it. He'll need to be working with the players to determine the ideal structure and game strategy.

Nurkovic is the second-highest earning player at Kaizer Chiefs and the pressure is starting to mount for him to start scoring goals. The striker didn't have a good time last season either, netting only three goals across all competitions.
