We need to start having tough conversations based on facts, not emotions. We all love Kaizer Chiefs. Some of us supported this club before we even knew who owned it. We grew to appreciate Dr Kaizer Motaung because his vision was visible in how the team played, competed and represented itself. No arrogance, just pure football and we fell in love with this club.

We're constantly told about improved recruitment, scouting, data analysis and platforms like TransferRoom. That's fine. But supporters don't judge the process or idea; they judge the output. Where are the results of all this? If all these resources are helping us identify talent, where are the players that clearly improve the team?

@Ndile_Mthombeni points out how teams like Marumo Gallants[Bance and went on to replace him with an even better midfielder in Mohamed Doumbia while we are stuck with Ndlovu and Ox], Stellies, and Golden Arrows have gone outside the country and returned with better quality than they had, while Kaizer Chiefs seem to feed supporters the same excuses every transfer window. If clubs in South Africa are difficult to negotiate with, are clubs in Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco and elsewhere also unwilling to do business with Chiefs? At some point, we have to stop normalising mediocrity and start questioning incompetence.

Over the last year or so, competitions like COSAFA, CHAN, U20 AFCON, AFCON and World Cup qualifiers have showcased plenty of talent. Yet Chiefs still struggle to convince supporters that recruitment is being used aggressively to raise the level of the squad. Did we identify any players worth adding to the team or we are waiting for them to join the same teams we fail to buy from 1st?

The issue isn't signing a free agent. Big clubs do that all the time. The issue is whether the recruitment strategy reflects a club genuinely trying to compete for league titles.

Too often, we lose quality players and fail to replace them with obvious upgrades, while extending contracts of players who have done little to justify them. You release Blom who is on form, then fail to sign anyone to replace him. Later you bring in Castillo and Ox, then release Castillo and leave Ox there. You sell Maart then bring Ndlovu. When our defense was getting better under Nabi, we sold Ditlhokwe, same poor timing as the selling of Blom to the MLS. You can see a club that lacks ambition written all over these transactions.

Chiefs often speak like a giant club but recruit like a club trying to save money rather than one determined to compete for the league. The management spends more time explaining why an average signing might work than doing enough to get quality players that clearly elevate the team.

That said, the window is not finished, like we always say when we try convince ourselves that this time it will be different. One or two quality arrivals could completely change the perception of this transfer period, but I don't think this will be the case. We are still keeping players who don't grow like Bvuma in the team.

Whatever vision they have, it won't turn out any better than the failure we've witnessed over the last 11 years if it's a vision built on mediocre recruitment. If the recruitment is bringing quality players to the table, the Sporting department must step up in bringing those players to the team. No excuses, we need everyone to respect the legacy of Dr Kaizer Motaung.

No integrity at all from coach Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youseff.

Both coach Kaze and Khalil have started speaking against the same things they gladly accepted while at Kaizer Chiefs. No backbone, you start to understand that they don't operate with principles, they chase immediate opportunities no matter what its worth.

Listening to Khalil speak now, it's clear that success was always going to be difficult under his guidance with Kaze. He openly admits he never liked the co-coaching arrangement, questioning the football logic behind management's decision to implement it. He points out that top clubs rarely operate that way and laughs at this. He started by highlighting how decisions can become difficult to make when you don't agree but each strongly believes in his own approach. He later mentions that they had disagreement with substitutions with Kaze, an area we always looked like a team without a coach. Yet, the contradiction is that he was willing to accept the role and become part of the very structure he now criticizes.

The same applies to coach Kaze. Today, he confidently speaks about the unrealistic expectations management had given the quality of the squad[reaching CAFCL spot]. But he, too, accepted the position that became available after his head coach was removed with this mandate without hesitation.

The Kaizer Chiefs management and their inconsistency in decision-making have played a major role in the club's struggles over the years. These interviews and many more, keep revealing this. Khalil and Kaze got the job because they were an easy excuse to get rid of a coach who demanded better from those who have power to change things at the club. They did not get the job because they were good enough. That's why they now laugh at the demands and arrangements they had to face at the club.

This is what happens when a club looks for shortcuts instead of establishing a clear football structure and supports its own decisions. The unfortunate reality is that Kaizer Chiefs' management continues to avoid accountability in such situations, rather direct the poor performance to someone else. Even after years of disappointing performances, they still seem unwilling to recognize that many of the club's problems originate from the decisions made in the boardroom rather than on the pitch.
