If you think that way, you will never hire a top ranking Coach (probably ever) in the future. In every decision there is a risk and thats where the "experience" of the management comes in. Our guys just can't take real decisions not just in this case but in almost everything else related to the club (and the examples are many).
Look, the club have spent a "fortune" so far on players who could not add anything or improve our team (and we continue to do so) because we still can't create a real "team".
So what is smarter, to continue wasting more and more money on players that we might not necessary need or spend part of that money on hiring a WC coach who allready proved that he can create a well orginized teams that performed pretty well ?!
Hiddink is known to get the best out of he's players and right now almost all of our players are under-performing (he's exactly the kind of coaches that we need ATM).

No need to point out the possible benefits to sign Hiddink, because I know them very well. We just need to be aware of the fact that there are also (financial) risks involved.
Just look at the bit in your post that I highlighted: we have taken risks in the past (Andrade being the prime example, but there are far too many others) that have not turned out well.
Maybe the management felt that the risk (from a financial point of view) of getting Hiddink right now was too high, compared to the (likely) benefits. It wouldn't surprise me to be honest.
None of us knows what exactly happened in these negotiations. Heck, we don't even know if they happened at all. But just because we're in a difficult moment right now, doesn't mean that we have to agree to whatever a new coach might want.
