Lerry1971 249 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 How much was he allowed to piss away in transfer fees? Fuck that?Not exactly Guardiola is our Dickie? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,093 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Don't think it will happen , much as I'd like to see it. Yes , he spent a fortune up here on quality players , but his style of football was one of the best I've seen. With his contacts in Holland and recent experience in England , I'm sure he'd be able to get affordable players at a fraction of the price , that would do us a turn up here.

The Dude 20,026 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 He's on record as saying Sunderland will be his final job before retirement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markem 7,251 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Pretty sure he's spent fuckall at Sunderland because he took over after the window closed.Correct however why he hasn't spent money wasn't the point. That he is getting results is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Stated just before he took the Sunderland job that it would be his last and that his wife would divorce him if he took another. He will not be back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueeyes 25 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I would have no problem with him being offered any kind of advisory role, but I would not want him anywhere near the dressing room.He had his time.If he wants to support the club with his fat wallet, then ok, let's hear what he has to offer.

NorthUistBear 86 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Dave King and Paul Murray have each said they are looking to bring in a Head Coach type rather than manager so The little general does not fit that mould. However Stuart Mccall does. They also didn't rule out the option of bring in a DOF which said little general would fit the bill perfectly.

SteveJ 743 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Dave King would be mad to offer him the managers role and likewise Dick would be mad to accept - there is simply not enough funds available for his type of management.DoF on the other hand - well I think he would be a sound choice. He is still held in high regard Worldwide and might just bring back some credibility in our club; which has taken a right pounding. Players might wish to come to us with him doing the negotiations but I doubt he would come as DoF unless he had a say in who was manager and I doubt McCall would be his first choice. Frank De Boer, on the other hand, is rumoured to be replacing Dick at Newcastl - what a coup it would be to bring him in as manager; on the understanding that the budget is low and youth coaching is of paramount importance (the Ajax way).

Wawrinka 88 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Scott Wilson, Bob Malcolm, Mo Ross, Stephen Hughes, Mark Brown & Barry Nicholson all got their debuts by Advocaat!If you're simply quoting players who made 1 or 2 appearances, every manager in the world would be seen as great at bringing through youngstersOnly Wilson and Hughes should be mentioned, and it was Walter Smith who initially brought through Wilson (who was, of course, utterly shite anyway) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Former Rangers manager Dick Advocaat has ruled himself out of a return to Ibrox despite also rejecting the opportunity to become permanent head coach at Sunderland after leading the English club clear of relegation. (The Herald)He'll be wanting to happily retire. [/thread] Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Has he said if he's retiring from management or from football as a whole? Retire as a whole. Staying in football in some capacity will only help increase his itch to get back into management. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copland bear 7,966 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Why not try and get him to help rebuild the club? Get him in a director of football role to help McCall ( even part time) .Ask him to take a hell of a wage cut, as let's be honest he does not need the money.He might just do it for the love of the club, Hire him a house for 12 months for him and his wife then after that he can retire.Advocatt could have a scouting system up and running in days, and all the other shite that needs sorted,McCall then just has to concentrate on results.Advocatt is old school and has contacts throughout the world, we need to tap into this.I know how much he loves Rangers , and maybe this could be his parting gift to us before he retires for good.The Little General is what's needed but as I said he need to work for next to nothing as we need every penny to go into the playing squad.
