Don't know why but I'm happy Benni is getting a chance. Huge gamble, but a chance is a chance. Excited to see how he does.

Great move by CTC FC management in appointing "Benni McCarthy". Football means "potential profitable business" to these guys!

Not every good player makes a great coach. Benni is no exception, so allow the naysayers to do their job.
