No no no Chris, the problem we always have is staff at the club having a team that know things about football and verifying decisions about strategic hires with respected figures in the game to make sure we're doing the right thing. If only we had people making gut feel decisions in isolation and without fully understanding how it might come back to bite us.

I'm reminded of a scene in the Magnificent 7 when the gang are out hiring. A Mexican says look at that bloke, he has a lot of scars and one of the seven says "We need to find the man who gave him those scars". Or something like that.

Indeed as it reveals who was actually responsible for Advocaat.............

"It was ex-Dutch international Hans Gillhaus, Sunderland’s head of European scouting, who broached the left-field suggestion of Dick Advocaat."

"Gillhaus had an inkling that he might and Congerton began to take soundings from elsewhere, including Sir Alex Ferguson who rubbished suggestions that Advocaat was past his prime and heartily encouraged the Sunderland sporting director to proceed."

"Congerton’s ex-Hamburg colleague Frank Arnesen – a close friend of Advocaat – then began to make overtures to the 67-year-old about the possibility of moving to Sunderland."
