Dylan Kerr Upset at Contributing to The Dismissals of Tinkler & Middendorp!
Dylan Kerr is one of the most enchanting figures in the PSL. Yet, he continues to display empathy and sympathy to his adversaries in the division.
Dylan Kerr Upset at Contributing to The Dismissals of Tinkler & Middendorp! He is not proud of appearingly being at the end of two high profile dismissals.
In his first game since returning to Black Leopards, Dylan Kerr masterminded a 1-0 win over struggling Maritzburg United.
This result was the last straw for the Maritzburg board as they quickly dismissed of Eric Tinkler after the defeat. It was the club’s 4th defeat in a row.
Kerr was also at the helm of Baroka at the back end of last season. Their draw with Kaizer Chiefs denied Amakhosi the PSL title on the last day of the season.
Once again, this was a result that saw Ernst Middendorp relieved of his duties at the club.
“When you think of it‚ my last game for Baroka was against Kaizer Chiefs and it cost Ernst Middendorp his job. My first game back with Black Leopards cost Eric Tinkler his job‚” Kerr said to the media.
“It is something that I am not proud of‚ it is a shame for Eric (Tinkler) because I thought he did a great job prior to the bubble.
“After [last season’s] bubble‚ he hit a slump but at the same time lost a lot of good players. There were new players coming to the team‚ so it’s difficult.
“Everything shouldn’t be a quick fix.
“You have to get time at the club to put things right, but it doesn’t happen in some cases.”
Bloemfontein Celtic claimed their first win of the season in last night’s victory over Black Leopards.
Speaking ahead of the game, Kerr exclaimed that he did not want the same fate of Tinkler and Middendorp to repeat itself on Celtic coach John Maduka.
“Bloemfontein Celtic have done very well recently by getting to the Nedbank Cup final last season where they lost to Mamelodi Sundowns‚” he said.
“This season they have booked a place in the MTN8 final against Orlando Pirates. This shows that John has done a great job and I think tomorrow it is going to be a very tough game.
“It is always tough visiting Bloemfontein but maybe our advantage will be the fact that they have the CAF Confederation fixture at the weekend.
“I have a lot of respect for the Celtic guys who took over when their coach (Lehlohonolo Seema) went to Chippa United last season. They have qualified for two cup finals and they have the Confederations Cup now‚ that is very good by any standards.” Kerr concluded.
