Co Adriaanse sacked at Twente...

....Umbrella Man is back. This was the message that reached me via Skype.

And because of this, I will leave Johan's criticism on Bert for another day.

Because in simple terms, this is what happened. Co Adriaanse was fired because he is too headstrong and to adventurous. It sounds simple, but that is how it is. Six months after his victorious entry. Chairman Joop Munsterman almost exploded with joy on that summer day, standing next to Co, with a glas of pink champagne.

It is as if Louis van Gaal is fired, because he is rigid. Or talks too loud at press conferences.
