Dick Advocaat puts the *whole* Sunderland squad up for sale

He's really p*ssed off with performances...

Ben Kenyon

For Sale: An entire football team, one previous owner, condition: poor, free to a good home.

If Dick Advocaat had put his Sunderland side on eBay we imagine that’s how the advert would read.

Well, he might just be about to. The furious Black Cats boss is fuming about his team’s abject performances in losses to Leicester and Norwich in the Premier League.

He’s so mad that he said every single one of his Sunderland stars is on the market.

during the Barclays Premier League match between Sunderland and Norwich City at the Stadium of Light on August 15, 2015 in Sunderland, United Kingdom.

“Every player is for sale; if the player wants to go, he can go,” the Dutchman said.

After two defeats on the bounce it sounds like Advocaat has hauled his players over the coals, but he’s promised fans an immediate improvement.

“One thing that I can say, which is 100 per cent, is we will become a better team. There is no doubt about that.

“Maybe we need a little more time than others but you will see that we can only improve.”

Any offers for Sunderland’s squad then? Anyone?
