McCarthy said:

"What a big shame on Daine Klate, I know football is a result driven sport but when you don't give a coach time to change the team's fortune. What chance is there for anyone?

"You should be proud of what you done so early in your coaching career @klatey7. Biggest things await you my broertjie."
