Dick Advocaat turns down the Sunderland job

Dick Advocaat was offered the Sunderland job for the next three years but has declined the offer.
He mentioned his age a lot and his wife had a lot of say in matters too.
I am sure we all wish him well in his retirement.
He gave SAFC supporters some good memories in his brief stay at the club.

It will be Sam Allardyce all the way for Sunderland AFC.
Mark these words.

To be honest would anyone at that age want such a high pressure job? Anyone who ever thought the job of managing Sunderland was going to be easy is in for a shock. Those that come here with dark hair leave very soon with grey hair

Seriously, it is historically a difficult task to manage SAFC. Those who do their homework should know this. The potential for a successful manager here is enormous. Sunderland are a sleeping giant, that said, the fan base is already massive so this suggests that Sunderland are potentially in the top three when it comes to actual support.
