Cape Town Spurs has released a statement defending under pressure coach, Shaun Bartlett, despite a string of poor results.
Cape Town Spurs won promotion to the DStv Premiership via promotional play offs after finishing second in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
But after losing the opening four matches against TS Galaxy, Sekhukhune United, Polokwane City and Chippa United – the Cape side remains rooted at the bottom of the DStv Premiership.
“Although our results have been disappointing, coach Shaun Bartlett has the full support of the Cape Town Spurs F.C board,” read the club statement.
“We ask that people respect that Shaun has a contract with the club and refrain from making unfounded statements in the media to gain cheap publicity for their own personal benefit.”
Spurs will travel to Swallows before hosting Orlando Pirates on Saturday.
