Our saviour Dick Advocaat has been speaking to Dutch TV about his time at Sunderland, and saving the Black Cats from a looming relegation with a game to go!
Dick said that he was offered the poisoned chalice but turned it down.
It’s guessing that he didn’t want the banners of Dutch Mafia out around St James, at the point of losing a game, or maybe he thought that he couldn’t compete against the greatest coach in the Premier League John Carver.
