snakehips 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Mercenary tbh 118949[/snapback] Yeah, you're right. He must be getting a fuckin' good few roubles for his troubles. And a furry hat at least once a year. I don't know, when you look at NUFC it must surely be a hell of a tempting proposition for managers. One of the biggest clubs, in one of the best leagues in the world, without a manager. Whoever does come here and wins something will become an absolute GOD here and an absolute 'name' around the world imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46086 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Weird choice. First Australia, now this. Two national teams with whom he has fuck all chance of winning anything. As has been mentioned, they must be making it worth his while in other ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever does come here and wins something will become an absolute GOD here and an absolute 'name' around the world imo. It's a shame then that pretty much no one outside of Newcastle thinks that it's a tempting proposition. A chairman of questionable integrity and motivation, an expectant crowd, who will turn on the manager when things go wrong are hardly tempting. From an outsiders perspective, three out of four of the managers since Keegan have been driven out by the fans. Not that many people in Europe actually give a shit about Newcastle. Have Newcastle had Beckham, Rooney, Henry, Gerrard, Abramovich etc in the recent years? No one gives a fuck man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Never knew that Hiddink (and Capello for that matter) both managed Real Madrid in the late 1990s, just been told that. He does love his 'small' nations though, seems to work wonders everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been mentioned, they must be making it worth his while in other ways. 118954[/snapback] Allegedly for the Australian job, he was on about a million australian pesos and with another million bonus for qualifying. Now they are in the finals he was given three million as preparation funds and is being paid a similar base wage as before with HUGE bonuses the further they get. Plus I hear they are willing to give him Tasmania if he gets them to the final (worth about 4 pound 50). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will claim to know that a lot of people around the world know about NUFC, which proves that the club is not so insignificant. You make some valid arguments about the reputation of the Chairman and managers being forced out by the fans, but any person in the football 'know' would be aware of the spending power, the salary its manager gets and the crowd numbers of NUFC to make it a mouthwatering prospect. The point I was making was that anyone in the football world - with some sort of personal ambition - must surely be tempted at the prospect of managing NUFC given the potential the club has? I'm attempting to put this argument in a non-NUFC-tinted-glasses perspective, but one that an outsider within football might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 SKY Sports news are reporting Hiddink held talks with Roman Abramovic prior to agreeing to join Russia. Like I said before: Mercenary ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodgate27 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 He may be a mercenary but he's also possibly the best manager in the world. Russia will most likely be a power within the next 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodgate27 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Russia will never reach our level Fact is though the vodka skollers have plenty of talent but for years have been held back by bad managment from every level(much like Aust really). Hiddink will change this. I don't disagree that hiddink goes where the money is, but his talent warrants it. And just as much as chasing roubles, he enjoys a big challenge. I wish he was going to be the Newcastle manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at PSV after he managed South Korea. Since taking on the Australian job he has signed two Australian player (at less than market value fees). Whichever club he goes to during or after the Russia job, you just know they are going to tap into the undiscovered land of Russian players.
