Santana resigns

how did he rip any one off - he named a salary and got paid it?

obviously, just like the athletics, the soccer administrators are not to blame:rolleyes:

oh well, lets hope now they can finally come to their senses and appoint some local couches - how about getting clive barker and jomo sono (if he can leave his multi million rand investments) to team up?
 
Great. Now we just need the pathetic players and 3/4 of the admin team to resign and we're on our way to fixing this.
 
you had me worried, I thought Carlos Santana had resigned from Santana...........
 
I think we may soon hear what the real problems are, once he's safely back home with his big bucks in the bank.

I've no idea if he is a top class coach or not, but I guess that he was being undermined by politics which would have ruined it even for the best of coaches.
 
gotta admit he was no good for the team

but i feel sorry for him... he's probably never had to coach a team as *hopeless as ours and he probably had dreams for making the hosts of the 2010 world cup a real force to reckoned with.

*note that i do not think bafana are hopeless, i just couldnt think of a better word. I cheer for bafana everytime and one day (in the faaaaaaar future) when they play well I wont have to feel like most Man Utd supporters.

Surely you cant feel like a Man Utd supporter now. Unlike Man Utd, South Africa hasnt won anything for a decade(i think), and unlike South Africa, Man Utd are top of their league and *cough* reigning champions. Sure got well between by Barcelona, but hey, got to the final. Bit better than bafoona bafoona, no ?

Tell me you're joking. Reputation doesn't win matches. I'll recommend him if he was to be employed in the development structure, not as a head coach.
 
Sir Alex Ferguson himself cannot help Bafana Bafana = FACT.

There is only so much a technical team and staff can do.This is such a silly decision.
The South African public need to get something banged into its head...we are not good enough to compete for the World Cup.i just dont understand how ppl expect us to be the best at e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g!
If we can make it out of our group stage next year its an overall success.
Good luck to the coach who takes over... ag whatever...no luck will help the team.

Anyways im still a supporter...but a realistic one at that :rolleyes: :o
 
the problem is we need a certain structure to teach all our clubs, like we do with the Rugby, cricket and what Brazil do with their soccer, play South African football and we will do way better.

Was this on purpose? heehee (coaches)

They probably could be compared to couches given the track record with non-performance!
 
Bottom line is we don't have world class strikers and you can't create a world class striker no matter who the coach is. If we had a Drogba up front we would be a great team. Hell, we would have beaten Brazil and Spain if we had a decent striker. Those were tight games.
