Suggestions are that the Chiefs management feel they have a well-balanced squad capable of competing for the league title.
"They think and believe that they have a great squad which can easily compete and be up there among Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates. Because they are failing to do that, it's why management is dissatisfied and unhappy with the results and the coach right now," the source added.
