I rate him as one of the finest coaches above ground. And if we do manage to drag him, even kicking and screaming to Vinovo, we will see, over the coming months, just how good we can be. because Hiddink's main skill is getting the optimum output from a squad. He will take us to our maximum, which is all we can hope and dream of...
Whats working in our favour, I feel, Mr Red, is that Hiddink has always struck me as a man who lives and breathes football, a man who adores and demands a challenge. This is why he took the south korea job, the australia job, the chelsea job...and excelled in all those positions. ANY manager capable of turning Australia into a half decent team, is something very special indeed.
Obviously money is a factor, a massive factor in his career, but so is The Challenge.
Why else take the jobs he has taken>?
We represent a challenge. A fallen giant, in need of spiritual as much as tactical regeneration...
if he says NO. I wont lose any respect for him. It will simply fan the flames of my growing discontent with Blanc even higher...if it is blanc who is in charge of such negogiations. If the news story we read on FI is true though, and it is Bettega at the negogiating table, thats a different story. rejecting Juve and Bettega is a mortal sin, for which he would surely have to be beheaded live on the internet, with his body sold to the chinaman as fuel. on that score, we MUST remain resolute...

Just about the report from Holland regarding Guus. It is a bit vague since the main aspect of it is because of Bettega being vague about Ferrara in his first press conference. If you read it carefully, you would see that he seems fond of him (obviously due to the previous relationship) but didn't really affirm his faith in Ciro. I don't really think they will bring in Guus in that date before the Parma game, maybe after it but in this timing i think its unlikely.
The other interesting thing is about the talk of the "project" by the management, because this move is basically ditching it imo and means they are giving up on one of their biggest decisions last summer.
