Bafana Bafana boss Stuart Baxter had better watch his back.
The knives are out and if he keeps criticising his Safa bosses, any failure could see him walking out of his job with some stab wounds.
Just like his predecessor Shakes Mashaba, he is outspoken about his bosses.
Ahead of tomorrow’s Afcon qualifier against Group E leaders Libya, the stakes are high.
The Mediterranean Knights are ranked 101st in the world and with Bafana playing at home, many are expecting Baxter’s hosts to come away with the points and keep the real danger team - Nigeria - at bay.
But in football, and especially with Bafana, it’s never that simple.
Despite a number of injuries ahead of this game, that can’t be used as an excuse.
Bringing in Vincent Pule, Aubrey Modiba, Tiyani Mabunda and Mxolisi Machupu should cover for Lebo Mothiba, Hlompho Kekana, Bongani Zungu and Themba Zwane.
Matches are won by players on the pitch after all, not lost by injuries.
However, Baxter is reminding his bosses at every opportunity that he is not getting the support he needs from them.
He has criticised them for not tying down a permanent assistant coach for him as he juggles his backroom staff from match to match.
And it must have really worked on their nerves when he finally got his son, Lee, to handle his goalkeepers, albeit for just one game with Andre Arendse unavailable because of family commitments.
But this week, Baxter also questioned the wisdom of hosting the Libyans in Durban.
The east coast City is at sea level, which evens out the playing field for the Tripoli-based side.
Durbs has not been a happy hunting ground for Bafana of late, with the shock defeat to Cape Verde in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers giving Baxter nightmares.
Anyway. It doesn’t bode well for the Englishman and a defeat to Libya could be the beginning of the end of his second stint in charge.
