@robertmarawa he must appoint Tinkler and buy players, Rob when you spoke to this fellow last year I asked, which good big name players has he bought to sustain the team's success,he was defensive and mentioned unknowns....NFD is upon him #MSW

The coaching merry-go-round continues. After parting ways with Muhsin Ertugral, Maritzburg United have appointed former Chippa United coach Eric Tinkler to take over. pic.twitter.com/3u7QZGktRG

The Maritzburg United chiefs are running the club like a kindergaten. Muhsin has left, and now we hear they have shortlisted Eric Tinkler, do you see any logic in there? @robertmarawa

He should just hire a young, Tshepo Motsoeneng of TornadoFC.
Give him a short term contract until the end of a season.
The @MaritzburgUtd will see flames.

No Tinkler
No Bobby
No Gordon
Plz plz....

Tinkler too will sink that team down.@robertmarawa @MarawaSportShow #MSW pic.twitter.com/KPauPdnXFG

The only industry that can rival the entertainment industry with recycling faces is the local soccer scene. Damn can't we develop/promote/train young coaches. #openuptheindustry #tinkler #SSDiski https://t.co/v46Df34ltx

I think Eric Tinkler is a fantastic coach. He just seems to have a habit of taking on really difficult jobs.

This transfer window in South Africa, has been for coaches more than players....Eric Tinkler confirmed as the last nail in @MaritzburgUtd coffin...

Everything was going well for Eric Tinkler at Cape Town City but he decided to be forward by thinking he's the "It" of coaching and went to Supersport United,now he's just like another coaches that are fired and hired at will.

Your team is surely going down now. You had option to appoint a real Coach but you decided to go for a Caretaker. Eric Tinkler does not have enough experience to save the team from being relegated.
