Gaz52 11,837 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 New Netherlands head coach. Still going strong at 69. (there's a joke there somewhere) For all the money he spent, he did at least bring us success and some quality footballers, so I wish him all the best in his new post.

Aubie92 1,074 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I think he's ripping the cunt out of Mrs. Advocaat with the "honest, love, this is the last job, I swear..." I was quite critical of him years ago, but ultimately it was Murray & his board that spent the money. My only real criticism of Advocaat was that he allowed cliques to form in the squad, and ended up punting players that we could still have done with as a result. We did come agonisingly close to progressing in the Champions League under him, won a treble and a double, and he's always spoken highly of the club and fans. I even forgive him for Manchester.

Guys like Amo, Albertz and Tugay have attested to it. On the flip side, he inherited guys like Negri and Rozental that, for different reasons, either didn't play or barely played, and they've spoken about him making them feel included. From the outside looking in, it always seemed like the guys that fell out of favour with him were strong personalities who weren't afraid to stand up to him about certain things.

I don't think wee Mr Kerimoglu was too happy at being deployed as a sweeper in the Champions League... but it turned out to be a masterstroke from the Little General and a role in which Tugay excelled in. Also, I think Advocaat has mellowed a bit over the years. The fact that he has employed his once-nemesis Ruud Gullit as his new assistant is testament to that. They both admitted live on Dutch TV that their falling-out in 1994 was damaging to the bid to win USA'94 and have decided to team up again now to try and right a few wrongs. Good on them. Both are extremely headstrong characters, even in terms of the pseudo-default Dutch national psyche, so it will be interesting to see how it pans out and whether they really have forgiven each other. *Must be old age that has mellowed Dick out, although I was a tad surprised to find that he is younger than Iggy Pop. Who is obviously the benchmark for these things... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
