Apparently this guy is the PSV Eindhoven and part-time Australia coach who has just guided Socceroos to the World Cup finals. Very nice indeed, but who has linked him with the Newcastle job?
The reports confirm: "There has been no contact between chairman Freddy Shepherd and Hiddink, or any other potential candidate, with Souness still under contract for 18 months".
So that's a story dragged out of nowhere, leading nowhere, and obviously dug up to fill an empty space on the back page.
