"I get the feeling Pitso is now desperate for Arab oil money only; no ambitions anymore."

"Pitso is very clever. The guy is collecting retirement money from these Arab leagues."

Ariel Ortega is not a fan:

"Pitso knows nothing; even with Esteghlal, he won't last long. He's obsessed with oil money. Otherwise, there's no ambition, no desire, no good tactics, just a little football knowledge."

Nkosinathi Mana Bhuda sent a warning:

"That technical team must find a job elsewhere cause they are still young and fresh. If they stick with this madala, they will be jobless for a very long time."

Arone Khosamavona Masoluke is taking note:

"Now Asia wants to take over; soon, we will watch Asian football more than European football."

Jonathan Mwashingwele asked a question:

"He's just after money now. Honestly, what is in Iran, and who watches their league?"
