Carling CupOn Saturday 30 July Kaizer Chiefs played Orlando
Pirates for the Carling Black Label Cup. Big deal you say, they
seem to play each other all the time. But this match had an
interesting little twist – the team selections weren't
done by the coaches, but by the fans through SMS voting. For weeks
in advance, Ruud Gullit told all those who cared to listen that
they could 'Be the Coach.'
A fascinating little idea, but just whose was it? Well,
wouldn't you know it, that's in dispute, with a bloke
claiming he had the Eureka moment a few years ago. He claims that
he took his idea to a number of possible takers, who all said
thanks but no thanks. All signed non-disclosure agreements in
advance. All but one that is, who said don't be silly,
we're people of honour, you can trust us. He now claims that he
was, they're not and you can't.
