Following Manqoba Mngqithi's demotion to senior coach at Mamelodi Sundowns, retired coach Walter Rautmann feels that the former Golden Arrows boss should've walked away from the Downs gig to preserve his reputation.
The "Veteran tactician insists Manqoba should have departed Sundowns" story, saw a multitude of readers share their diverse opinions.
Here's what they had to say:
"In this game of Football, money is not everything. No matter howmuch he is paid, the fact remains that he, Manqoba, has compromised his record and reputation," says qhpshopk1.
"Talking is cheap indeed. Coaching is all about patience. Management discussed this matter with all 3 coaches and I like their structure now even if I do not support moving Manqoba with the intern. But it is important to have the two senior coaches there to make sure the Head coach does not mess up like he did before," says Khothakhosi.
"There is a smear campaign against Sundowns and Manqoba," says aijaman.poqo.
"It is funny how football supporters expect coaches not to think about their security when it comes to employment. Where is Larsen, Seema, Middendorp and Kaitano, to mention but few. Hunt ended up at Chippa because of this mentality, the old man must just relax and take his medication," says Shikabala.

"Downs matters are Downs matters. Lots of noise is being made about football being a business, why this now? Teams are trigger happy and don't buy quality. When you fall, you are fired. What next? Sit at home and wait for a call. Once he goes and fails, he will be called names. It's up to Manqoba to decide, not anyone else," says mogaseaub.
Lastly, The Buccaneers confirmed the signings of Craig Martin and Ndumiso Mabena. The latter is making a return to the Sea Robbers, having trained with them since leaving Durban-based outfit Royal AM.
Here's what the readers had to say on the "DONE DEAL | Pirates complete double swoop" story:
"Hhheh madoda!!! I did not see this one coming.... I am not sure how to feel about the signing Martins?? He is a decent player but I do not think his signing was necessary. Kodwa ke bab'Khoza Screamer know better (I assume)," says SamaDaiz-reloaded.
"Good players. Martin? we need him. Our right backs are usually injured, at least we got three identical players in that position," says nelsonmsimango1976.
