Igesund on verge of greatness

May 10, 2012 | Mark Gleeson | 18 comments

THERE might only be an outside chance, but if Gordon Igesund is to lead Moroka Swallows to the Premier Soccer League title this month, he will have a just claim to being the best coach in league history.

PIRATES PULL UP YOUR SOCKS, U HAVE TO WIN AGAINST BLOEM CELTICS
-------------------------------------------------------

Svavava the whole of South Africa is hoping Pirates lose and Swallows to win the league. I love it when Pirates is under pressure and everybody is against them cause that is when they are most dangerous. Just like we were told that we playing "cup specialist" in the final of MTN8 and that we wont win the match, we will soldier on and prove people wrong. Just like we were told that Wits will skin us alive in the Telkom Cup, Pirates will emerge winners. Swallows and other rented supporters note that Swallows can end up with 56 points, Mmmmh.... 52 points + 6 points = ???????????

He doesn't need to pull this one off to earn my respect, he is a great coach and has proven beyond reasonable doubt. I just fail to understand why can't S.A.F.A acknowlege this great man's abilities, let alone achievements. The best they can give us is this arrogant Mosimane who hasn't achieved half of what Gordon has, or is it a case of blind leadership?

Hi
Jealous down this man is good, think for a minute. "It would be a miraculous recovery for a side that just 18 months ago looked headed down to the National First Division after a disastrous start to the 2010-2011 season". Then Pirates hire the coach that put Swallows on the edge of relegation, look he is good. I am chiefs or family business or I was their fan. Anyway would be nice if the team can win the league.

You have a remarkable record so far Gordon but you won't win the league this time around with swallows. In fact, I see a situation whereby the champs successfully defend their title on Saturday as Pirates are the only team that is going to win amongst the teams gunning for the league.

Gordon for president! No, Gordon for National Team Coach, some of us have been saying this for the past 5 years yet it seems those in charge of SAFA cannot recognize a good coach when they see one.

Gordon proved his worth a long time ago or maybe race is a factor for at geniuses that run our football.

The current threat to Pirates defending the champioship title is not Swallows or Sundown, but Pirates itself. The game against Celtic it's a MUST WIN... with the posibility of retaining the title end of the game if things goes our way. I take this coming game as the mos important crucial tough one of the season and players need to be themselves not to play with emotions, and Bucs would win this one with ease. Swallows could surprise but I think we got the urge with the players we have, very important Pirates must avoid concede early stupid goal to the opponent. Then the title is safe home where it belong.

Jimmy Augosti has already received the first installment towards loosing game. This one game we will be seeing Jimmy on the bench, to make sure that the toothless one's plan doesn't get derailed and the final installment will be wired via cayman's islands to Greece then to some fish chips cafe in Botshabelo
