Ruud Gullit coaching in Chechnya

Post by Spitfire »

Got to say I had no idea until today, sure you regular footie buffs knew but, how the hell did he end up coaching a team (Grozny FC) for a blood thirsty stooge of a politician like him in charge of the country that is doing Moscow's (Putin's) bidding? :?

Oh, how the mighty fall eh?

Seems he's getting a bit of flak for leading the Chechen team down the table to 14th place (perhaps not a good idea), rather than the European qualification he had predicted. :shock:

To put the boot in, the Chechen lot have complained he's too into nightclubs and girls and better get 3 points in the next match and they are pretty much serious :guns: with all things.

If I was Ruud Gullit then I'd be making sure I'd got a swift exit plan from that hole of a situation, even if the hookers are good.Image Ruud, my man, getting distracted! :tsk:

Saw in the newspaper recently that he had sold his house in Los Angeles.
