This was always going to be his last chance season but clearly Jol has had enough and West Ham are paying his wages. He wont be under the same pressure at West Ham ,who are a mid table win nothing type of team . Expect him to be a sub alot . If he does well we may get 8m euros max. If he is crap he...

so in next round is one of following


Dinamo Kiev
Sampdoria
Auxerre
Young Boys
Braga

would prefer one of the bottom 3 if possible

For me personally I want players in the Ajax 1st team to be playing if they are worthy of a 1st team jersey, irrespective of whether they are bought in or come through the youth system. When we have to play guys like Sulejmani and Suk just now it is not only a bad reflection on our buying policy but...

I believe all should be resolved tomorrow morning. What gets me is how different the English press and Dutch press are reporting things. According to English press Jol has already agreed a 3 year deal with Fulham. Nothing in Dutch press about that. Now Van Den Boog is returning from holiday this eve...

well jol is on bench tonight at porto game so obviously nothing agreed right now between ajax and fulham

The odds on Jol becoming Fulham manager have dropped from 33/1 to less than 3/1 in under 24 hours, heavy money being placed. I really fuckin hope this wont happen, surely not. Small edit - the odds are now 5/4 but I read a report saying that the speculation began after some free GBP 50 bets for Ladb...

Purple Cow's Ghost - I am afraid it is you who is delusional. Kudos to paladinby for an honest assesment. Who gives a flying fuck if Mark v.Bommel kicks the shit out of Andres Iniesta? I hope next time Nigel De Jong kicks Xavi's head off. Why is it that you would rather peddle this assumed myth of ...

Spain got a slight downgrade from Moody's and may get one from Fitch. Money won't be so cheap to obtain for the banks themselves. There will definitely be a larger cost of obtaining money for Barca as well as Madrid. It would still be interesting to see the borrowing terms though I expect we won't....

Reports in telegraaf today that he has signed an improved contract. He still remains tied to the club until 2014 but terms have been improved by the club.

Good news for the lad as the club are recognising that with his performances last season they were worth increased salary

Just have to hope Wielaert and Sno can go as easy . The fact that these 2 start training with the Jong next week is completely unacceptable. So what do we do then - seems perfectly sensible to me what the club has done here. Jol by putting them in with Jong is making it perfectly clear they have no...

The Dutch papers are awash with stories of Ajax preliminary financial results for year ended 30 June 2010. It appears that loss for the year is expected to be in region of Eur 21m, so not as high as the Eur 25m predicted a few months back. In addition, the club did not extend borrowing facilities wi...

New home strip will be unveiled Sunday afternoon after 1st training session of the new season. Wonder if Sulejmani will turn up bloated like last summer after an excellent diet of takeaway pizza and heineken

Fair enough that we have to buy players, I am not disagreeing but I would be very interested for you to tell me for what positions we should go and buy players for immediately. Looking at last seasons squad, 2 postions I though we were weak in was at left back and centre forward. So if we retained t...

i would rather we make the correct signings this summer irrespective of when we buy them. Still 2 months to go till end of transfer deadline so still time.

I still believe that other than ManCity and Chelsea (which do have "sugar daddies") that most other teams will be quite cautious in this summer's transfer market. That being said, we should take the money if anyone offers us more than €25 million for Suarez or €12 million for Van der Wiel. I doubt ...

Our press today states Man u cannot afford 35m euros fro Suarez so wont be signing him . Given their Debts are over 1billion I think there may be some truth in this. . SPL, forgive me for being pedantic but the debt of Man Utd is the GBP 700m, it is their owners who have debts of over GBP 1 billion...

Sorry , not all the teams are in the red - these articles which everybody seems to be reading are written in the whole by non-financial people who have no concept of what they are writing about and problem is, as with many things on the internet, people do seem to take it as gospel. What has been wr...

I know this will make me unpopular but I would gladly see a few football clubs go out of business, just to bring some reality back onto the game. Football clubs of all sizes - from the big european clubs to small local professional clubs in general have been badly managed for not just years but deca...

I honestly think that Suarez performance at the World Cup will have a lot to do whether he remains at the club or not - a great world cup and somebody somewhere will raise the money for him. A poor world cup and hopefully he will decide to stay on. I agree with Benji, Ajax are not in net debt as tot...

Maybe Ko can makes this an official thread. Anyway, just read in a Scottish newspaper that in Third Qualifying round we could be facing either Celtic, PAOK, Young Boys, Gent and one other either Braga or 2nd teamin Roumania. If we manage to keep team together then we have chance of beating any of th...

The QF against Brasil will be our Waterloo I expect. Eh, unbelievable statement - who says either of these 2 countries will make it to the quarters, please at least show some respect to the nations you are playing against. I know that its not in the Dutch nature to be humble but some humility would...

Game was on live in one of Dutch sports channels and was as good a game as seen in a long time - Charlie Adams is looking good for a fat ex rangers player

Oh is that minor tournament on again

Ah well at least I got a friendly in Sweden in Stockholm to look forward to in August

I honestly wouldnt get too worried about 2009/10 in terms of the Jong for the reason that the club overall has been carrying far too much fat for years now in terms of youth IMHO. We had far too many young players on contracts who were not worthy of them. At end of day if a player is honestly good e...

This line up did contain 5 proper Jong so I cannot really moan but the team cost 30m euros and they could not win . Would like Huistra to explain what benefit Ajax gained out of the so called Jong team this season . Played a load of experienced first teamers in every game and still could win the ti...
