[quote="Kowalczyk"][quote="Kowalczyk"]Okay, folks. Allow me to ask you for a favour... :D As you may or may not know I published my début novel this year. It's called [i]Vak 127[/i] and it's about Ajax, being a supporter, friendship and growing up. My book is on the longlist for the annual Nico Sch...

[quote="ajaxusa"]OK, I have a problem... Flights are now very expensive, and combined with the fact that I just had to buy a car (mine was killed in the New Years Flood), I don't have much cash. Direct from SFO to AMS is around $900 at best... Does anybody have any inside dope on how to get to A'dam...

Ofcourse one would sooner believe the manager of the competition whose fans are crying wolfe because 'their' Jaap Stam signed with their hated rivals... Apart from that, PSV lack transfer funds, have serious financial difficulties and I presume that since Jaap Stam is too old for a second career in ...

Right. Back on topic: I am curious why Phillipe thinks Jaake is doing terrible job. Personally I think he is doing a great job so far. Clearly Nuninga didn't do a particularly fantastic job, so him leaving Ajax is not a big lost from a management point of view. Neither did Van Gaal as the Technical ...

Then you better start backing up your oneliners with some solid argumentation. You are missing the point of a discussion board I fear. usually no one cares for oneliners such as: Yeah, they suck! Ajax rulezzzz, Feyenoord sucks! The French should be forbidden to leave their country! They should kick ...

I presume that after Koeman got axed, you were delighted with the appointment of Blind, because he was the captain of Ajax' CL winning team, a real clubman, someone who would restore the Ajax tradition and he knew all the youth players... he would be a fantastic coach etc. And now Van Basten should ...

Why this confidence in Van Basten? Is it his extensive experience? Or perhaps it is the impressive display of soccer by Holland in the qualifying matches? Could it be his verbal skills and publicity skills? Maybe the achievements with Young Ajax, a fair compensation for coaching a premiere league te...

[quote="philippe"]Let's bring Nuninga and van Gaal back. And get rid of Jaakke.[/quote] You are just being silly now, aren't you. I reckon you borrowed the anti-Jaake sentiment from the poor informed South side and think it is clever. It is not, it is BS. Van Gaal is for a big part responsible for t...

Good point!
With Rosenberg and Huntelar we have to complementary strikers up front. Sneyder and Linderberg could play central midfield, possibly the latter a bit more backwards to support the defense if necesarry.

Listen, Blind is the same guy who was criticizing Koeman and Wouters in the past, not to mention the same one who didn't do a particular smashing job as manager football. He was always so confident he would be doing a better job than the coaches mentioned before... and clearly he underestimated the ...

Joining you in this celebration, I do have a question. I understood that Escude was benched (and sold) so that Heitinga could play...

why?

I hope not (yet). I mean, the guy is a legend, but hardly experienced as manager. And from what I have seen, Holland didn't play particularly impressive in their qualifying matches.

So why would Van Basten would be better than Blind, for example?

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Beehakker currently the manager of Trinidad and qualified for the Worldcup?

Luckily we have the captain of our mid-nineties star team as head coach. So we can praise our sentiment driven cuddly club and continue to sleep. I have noticed that the intellect at the South stand is still firmly backing Blind... blind loyalty har har... We'll have to come up with a new pun when V...

One has to admire the briliant scheme made up to destroy Ajax. First you install a Feyenoord coach. Based on the foundation laid by Adriaanse you have him win the title and when everybody is lulled into a false sense of security, you have the infiltrant fuck up the team and piss on decades of tradit...
