Let's take a closer look at what they had to say...
Comments
Kaizer Chiefs' Lehlogonolo George Matlou is one of the players at the club whose future hangs in the balance after an ineffective first season at the club.
Matlou made 12 league appearances, only managing one assist after arriving from Swallows last year. Soccer Laduma's Siya Crew sources have indicated that Amakhosi are set to keep Matlou for another season.
The source also revealed that Chiefs have received no offers for the 24-year-old after considering sending him on loan or letting him go permanently.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Chiefs Set To Keep Winger Matlou?" story:
"Matlou, winger? Maybe that's where Chiefs need to try him but he's never played there in Chiefs colours," says Shandu ka Ndaba.
"What a good player if given an opportunity to showcase his talent," says Boss Ngida.
"Zwane has favorites. This guy is good but was never given a chance. I hope Ntseki will give other players a fair chance," says sbusisogumede16.
"Same as Austin Dube, what a player, in my books he is far better than all those Chiefs central defenders, all of them. Be it left or right central defenders, with a very good passing range for a defender. Just like Nascimento, Xoki or Sibisi," says mthunzijack7.
"Played 12 matches and provided one assist, kanti how many times must he play to be deemed as having been given a chance? Zwane has been labelled as favouring certain players over others, yet the players he's accused of sidelining have been injured for most of the season, your Mathoho, Nange, Cole Alexander etc.
"When fans and pundits blame Zwane for the poor season we had, they somehow have amnesia when it comes to the high rate of injuries we sustained this season and the fact that management decided to sell Blom and failed to replace him, hence I never really blamed Zwane," says ayanda.mbalu2015.
"Another very good player who is just unfortunate and who I think has much more ability than all the trusted central midfielders at Chiefs.
"They must just play him 3 or 4 games in succession just to align his confidence and you'll find that those who are preferred ahead of him are just confidence driven rather than ability," says mthunzijack7.
Read: Nabi Left Disappointed After Chiefs Talks
Sources close to Nasreddine Nabi have revealed the coach's disappointment of losing out on the Kaizer Chiefs head coach role.
Chiefs stunned when announcing Molefi Ntseki as their new head coach, with Arthur Zwane demoted to assistant coach alongside Dillan Sheppard.
Chiefs' technical staff reshuffle came after negotiations with Nabi that went on for almost a month, with talks reaching an advanced stage before Amakhosi opted for an in-house option in Ntseki.
Talks collapsed between Chiefs and Nabi with the Tunisian turning down a contract extension with Young Africans SC. The impasse between the two parties was down to which technical team Nabi will be leading, as he wanted to bring in his own team, while Amakhosi insisted on retaining Arthur Zwane under the 58-year-old.
Here's how the readers reacted to the "Nabi Left Disappointed After Chiefs Talks" story:
"Let's give Ntseki a chance," says user109105.
"I think the coach was supposed to compromise with Chiefs to get deal done but Zwane wasn't supposed to be his assistant. Look at Pirates for example. The assistant coach was the co-coach in the previous season and it worked perfectly but Spanish one bought some of his staff," says pholasti.
"I'm done with this team, Motaungs can have their Chiefs," says pb.nare.
"They opted for Ntseki... I wish they go for 5 more years without a trophy. This brown envelope crew..." says elvismudau446.
"Supporting Kaizer Chiefs is like booking a hospital bed, while you are not sick," says bhekilekhuleni6.
"Supporting Chiefs is like continuing to love a a woman who is cheating on you but you love her deeply," says malebalaseketegroup.
"Supporting Chiefs is like waiting for a heart attack to happen," says KhosiWarrior.
"I don't know what to think about this. Chiefs were just keen to impose Arthur on Nabi. I wouldn't want to work with my predecessor as my assistant, especially Arthur, who backstabbed Baxter.
"But on the other hand, as a club, it would be difficult to have the entire technical team full of foreigners. Chiefs believe in empowering and developing their former players into coaching. One way of doing that is to allow them to work with head coaches, to learn the ropes.
"So he should not be disappointed because both parties didn't get what they wanted," says siyaz.
"Chiefs is a disappointing team lately, every decision they're making is not ayoba shame and they are dragging us fans into the mess they have turned this team into.
"To think I loved this team from when I started to walk, but now, I don't know anymore. I just need to stop loving this team, I just don't know how, we will be a laughing stock again next season, till when?
"Kazier sell this team if awusayifuni (If you don't want it anymore) please because you holding onto it is not helping," says tnogwaza.
"But if Chiefs have invested so much in Zwane for 15 years but still he can't seem to fit the bill, why then insist on him? If it doesn't work, why keep it?
