The Glamour Boys went into the encounter under immense pressure to collect maximum points against a struggling SuperSport United team to edge closer to that second spot.

However, it wasn’t to be as Amakhosi dropped to fourth on the log standings with seven games to go, and fans chanted ‘Baxter must go’ after the final whistle.

Asked what message he has to the Chiefs fans, Baxter said he didn’t have anything to say to them, before adding that he would vacant his position as coach if that’s what they want.

Furthermore, Baxter said if what they fans said is a reflection of what Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung thinks, then he would pack his bags and leave.

STUART BAXTER HITS BACK AT KAIZER CHIEFS FANS

“I don’t have any message to fans… because if they want me to go, I will go,” Baxter told the media.

“If the chairman says to me, ‘Stuart, I don’t think you are doing a good job’, then I will walk. I’ve got no problem doing that.

“I will walk myself if I don’t think I’m affecting the team in a positive way, I will walk. No problem. I’m the only coach that has given this club any success over the last 20 years.”

“And I’ve got to go because we dominated the game and lost 1-0? I’ve got to listen to that? It’s okay.”

“The fans have a right to say exactly what they want. If that reflects what the chairman thinks or what the players think and the majority of our fans think, then maybe I should walk,” added Baxter.
