baffling.
I wonder if this was before we appointed Riza, or recently, or with a view to taking over in the summer.
Seems Advocaat himself was baffled by the approach - what a club eh?
It was recently. Either Riza is going, or the win at Blackburn was a stay of executionQuote:

Curacao are actually playing Kazakhstan in a friendly before they play Wales in this international break
Main thing is the board obviously still have their finger on the pulse all things football. We are so going places folksQuote:

Cardiff City also noticed these performances. The team from the English Championship asked whether Advocaat wanted to become the new coach. Advocaat is a bit annoyed when that comes up. "Then someone from the staff must have talked." But he doesn't deny it. "It was informal. It's strange that they still come at my age. But the home front didn't really agree." ESPN NL
Completely bizarre, and as TLG says, very embarrassing. Dalman will deny it and WOL will gloss over it
The club will have egg on its face.....Quote:

seems like it was an informal sounding out rather than a job offer. probably just seeing what options are available for an end of the season push if they decide to get rid of Riza.
i bet that 80% of fans wouldn't have wanted advocaat anyway....Quote:

His appointment would have been the cherry and little plastic sword on top.

Do they want us to get relegated?
I scrolled a few posts as I thought the first was a joke and didn't get it.
They are not that completely bonkers are they?
FFS.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm vegan, and that was hilarious :biggrin: (not joking I actually laughed!)Quote:

It’s funny the club get slammed rightly for having no plan and sacking manager without someone in mind. Now they are having informal chats, probably agents trying their luck to push them onto us and it’s a bad thing.
I don’t really believe it tbh.
it’s strange because this made me google whether there’s a heavy drinking culture in Malaysia, but there doesn’t seem to be.
I wonder if then theyre recording for some sort of fly on the wall comedy but it’s not being released until tan goes?
With some the Club can’t win whatever they do.
All this is a load of cobblers.
As it goes Damned if they do, Damned if they don’t
But fans love a good rant, doesn’t matter if it’s based on nothing. Especially if it’s a Tan bashing,Quote:
