Episode Notes
Episode 5 features a fiery and unfiltered conversation with German tactician Ernst Middendorp, who joins us as a surprise guest and doesn’t hold back, especially when it comes to that now-famous LinkedIn presence where he’s been taking aim at everything and everyone in the game.
We also welcome back Teko Modise, as the panel dives into the biggest talking points in South African football right now.
With just a handful of games to go at the time of recording, the Betway Premiership title race is on a knife edge, with only two points separating Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns. We break down both teams’ run-ins and ask the big question, who has the edge?
The conversation then shifts into the realities of coaching at the highest level: How do you manage crowd favourites who don’t always fit your system?
Just how difficult is it to coach a club like Kaizer Chiefs?
Does “losing the dressing room” really exist in South African football?
And is player power real? Middendorp shares first-hand experiences working with strong personalities and special talents like Scara Ngobese.
Expect strong opinions, real stories, and honest football talk.
