It is often said that when one door closes, another will inevitably open, and this looks to be the case for Shaun Bartlett after he was shown the exit door at Cape Town Spurs.
The Ikamva-based side has found it difficult to adapt to the challenges and demands of elite division football having earned promotion from the Motsepe Foundation Championship and, after seven league games, had lost all seven and were propping the bottom.
Management appeared to have felt that the writing was on the wall unless they took drastic action and the former Bafana Bafana marksman was let go.
However, as they say, you cannot keep a good man down and Bartlett might have found himself a new home at Casric Stars in the second tier. Casric appear to have hit a speed hump and have experienced a dry spell having lost three successive matches.
It is understood they have approached the ex-Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach and, according to Siya sources, the 50-year-old will be a guest of Casric when they visit University of Pretoria on Sunday.
