WHAT COMITIS SAID
"No. There is nothing like that about Bradley Carnell being linked to us. I also heard it and saw it two days ago but it's not true. We have a coach. He is contracted to us and we must get going.
"We have to do our best with the coach and the team. We have a job at hand with the coach and the team so that's not true," Comitis told the Siya crew.
"As I have said we have a coach who is still contracted to us and we can't be pressing panic buttons at this stage of the season. It's still too early," he added.
"We have to when it comes to turning things around for better (results) and to do that we all have to work together and we are doing just that right now."
