Remember the Chelsea - Barca game? That was a fix in my mind. How can I forget it. One of the most disgraceful displays by a losing side I have ever witnessed. Absolute disgrace. Some of the Chelsea players should pull their heads in. Of course it was so fixed the ref sent off a Barca defender when...

This is 100% fine with me. Always thought him a good coach, and he looks like he could beat the living shit out of you if he wanted too, which might help wake up a few of the lazy arse players. I wouldn't have minded Olsen, but I really didn't think Jol would come, so this is a nice surprise. Good j...

The de Boer brothers were acting like typical old fashioned arrogant Ajax players at the time (unless my poor memory is playing tricks again).

Bring on Olsen. Fine with me.

Sitting bored in Internet Cafe right now, anyone else got any Ajax fans in strange places stories to liven up the evening? Walking through a shopping centre in an outer suburb in Victoria a few years back, Ajax shirt on. Some random guy walked up to me, poked the crest and yelled Hup Ajax!!! Did br...

K.

Ditto.

I agree with you totally here Menno.

Next season will still be fine (maybe), but its the one after that will screw AZ over. I am relived he isn't joining us. That's one positive already for the new season.

dws schreef:Seems Ronald Koeman is the new AZ coach.

I only saw the first 30 min of the game against Germany, and was surprised to see us lose. The German's didn't even look in the game at all to that point...

Should be a good final tomorrow. From memory live on Eurosport 1 (11am Amsterdam time).

Didn't Stanley Menzo manage a few years ago, and get Volendam promoted?

Is he available?

Cruijff, Johan @ 50,00

yeah thats exactly what this club needs now, someone who speaks in his own language, and asks questions that dont make sense. I know the guy is God at Ajax, but I would prefer a more stable option right now.

Foppe would be great imo.

Louis van Gaal is signing with Bayern.

Crap for AZ. I am surprised he didn't stay one more season for CL football with them.

How about snatching the Groningen coach? He seems to be doing a good job. At least from what I see from the outside. Or is he too weak to take the Ajax pressure?

That's Leander's choice...

He also seems to have a bit of a personality about him that I like. We could do worse (and have).

Taken from: http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/ajax-rule-out-rijkaard--187136/ ==== Ajax director Rik van den Boog has ruled Frank Rijkaard out of the running to become the club's new coach. Rijkaard, who served the Amsterdammers with distinction as a player, has been out of work since leaving Barcelona...

Frank Rijkaard favourite to succeed Marco van Basten at Ajax

I still worry about a Rijkaard appointment, but if he does become boss, I am more than happy for him to prove any of my cynicism wrong.

There is still a game on?

Apart from the great Co Adriaanse, I would like (between the possibile ones) the old dear Morten Olsen. Don't think I am crazy: the man knows Ajax, is internationally experienced and knows how to play good 4-3-3: which is our identity, if we like it or not. don't think it will happen, though. I was...

ajaxusa schreef:KOEMAN WANTS AJAX JOB

Um, no thanks.

Dear God! No!!!!!

No I think the point is, without the players, he didn't achieve. The Dutch team coached themselves, and Barca are Barca. It is different to manage a team of stars, than a team of duds. Guess which one Ajax currently falls under? He might be OK (at least he has the experience). But I think its a huge...

bryan schreef:Pity Roy Keane only just got appointed at Ipswich.

If ever there was a manager who would scare the shit out of this squad of players, it would be him.

Now that would be a great wake up for these guys who just think showing up is doing their job...

I am glad he's honest about it and isn't making things worse by sticking around, however looking back now, he should haven't ever been hired in the first place. Another wasted year. Very true. When you apply for a position in any job, you are assessed on your ability to work within the role. Surely...

I still think the players are as responsible for this utter shit as van Basten. About time these so called stars realised they are nothing until they win something, pulled their finger out of their backsides, and start playing with motivation like they showed for only a few games this season. Anyway...

Co Adriaanse. And some good foreigners are available, too. Le Guen and Ragnick, for example. Foppe de Haan, perhaps. Frank Rijkaard would be the next Koeman: he can make a winning line-up of great players, but not a 'builder'. I hope they won't sign him, but Ajax will probably call him first. K. I ...

Less than one season... F*ck me. K. Bound to happen. We are fucking hopeless as supporters. Seriously. We have no patience. We demand attacking football, even without the players to do it. Two losses in a row, we call for the boards head. We get a new player he plays 1 bad game, the whistles start....

I think you are both right.

van Basten as head coach is responsible for motivation off the pitch, and we have no player with leadership skills to bring it to the pitch. Yep, we are crap through our entire structure.
