Interjecting myself, but my impression was that Frans was merely offering that as a point of information, not necessarily as a recommendation.

It now seems a safe bet that our next coach will not be new to the job with Ajax.
Appie, stay strong !

They are talking to Foppe de Haan. I see Denis Bergkamp is to train the u12's next season. Hope he will
stay for a year or 2.

Wow, I know. I'd like Foppe de Haan more than almost any of the others on the list if Co decides to take some time off after this season in Austria.

Maybe I need to place a few Euros. :drecul.gif:

Danny Blind confirmed that he called Morten Olsen (Ajax coach 1998-99).

Olsen is currently headcoach of Denmark. Ajax is looking for the option to have a 'double shift', so that he can remain coach of Denmark and will coach Ajax. In my opinion that's not prefferable. I want to see a coach who is 100% focussed on Ajax.

Yup. Me too.

Laudrup has said 'no' (in the media; don't know if Ajax actually called him), because he doesn't speak Dutch.

Like I said many times in the Dutch Zones: I never judge someone on his best or his worst performance. It's about the profile and the man's way of working/achievements throughout a whole career.

Every coach who failed for one particular mission is not an option for you...?

Jeezz, that would rule out Louis van Gaal (Holland), Co Adriaanse (Ajax), Ronald Koeman (Valencia), Martin Jol (last season at Spurs), Foppe de Haan (last tournament with Young Oranje), Morten Olsen (Ajax '98-'99)... etc. etc. Did you know Guus Hiddink got sacked three times due to poor results and generally bad football? (Fenerbahce, Real Madrid, Betis Sevilla)? And Euro '96 wasn't exactly a highlight either. Does that mean you don't want him?

I am really thinking of putting 100 on Foppe. Would bring me 10.000 and I can see it happen.

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.

If we must go back in time, better Co than Ronald Koeman or Danny Blind. I Loved Blind as a player, but as a coach ? Not distinguished.

Plus, he was pretty rude when you tried to take a picture with him. So, good player, bad coach and cold person... he's barely above the Mendoza line!
