The chairman knows what he is doing!

Ok let me take this opportunity to clear or make an understanding about this team of mine. First we have to clear the Ruud Krol issue. Every pirates fan loves a winning coach, that’s why it is was difficult to see him leave but there were many reasons to that decision.

Krol played predictable football, Krol played boring football (stadium empty even for home games), Pirates invested in players like Ezenwa Otorogu and Teko Modise but these players where no way last season. There was a time where he ran out of ideas.

Now let’s get to Julio Leal. Like Krol, his an amazing coach, couldn’t understand why Swallows fired him after winning the Nedbank Cup but neither less am happy his a Pirate. This coach has won championships not one but many.

He has won the youth World Cups. His record (CV) is colourful and also with his Brazilian mentality, we need to play attractive football so we get the stadium full, it only makes business sense. One thing I can assure all Pirates fans is that Dr Irvin Khoza knows what his doing, his the only administrator who I believe can rule Africa here eMzansi.

He made a promise last year after the World Cup that all hands will be on Pirates and winning the Absa Premiership couldn’t have come at a better time. With the Safa position out of the way, his dream is to rule Africa. As we speak today Pirates are the team that means business.
