Ajax Directors, Board, Staff

[Cruijff]

This rumour is not true. Another Uri Coronel slip of the tongue to put some dark influence to some media and the normal man his opinion.

Wow.. I'm starting to think that you either are Johan himself, or you work for his PR....

[Cedric]

He sure needs PR when he says stuff like this : "Punt is dat mensen die twijfels hebben allemaal nieuw zijn bij Ajax en weinig van voetbal weten. Het valt nog te bezien wat ik doe als ze toch niet voor Ling zouden kiezen, maar ik zou dat in ieder geval onbegrijpelijk vinden".

It certainly looks like some sort of "do what I want or I leave". Again.

[Amol]

After several conversations with La Ling, he is portrayed as "too light and not reliable."

Who says so ?

That's verbatim from Ajax Netwerk. Don't know who all said that.

[LucaS]

The other members of the Supervisory Board say that

Seedorf? Really??

I am sorry to ask something that maybe is obvious to many of you, but I find difficult to understand how does the Ajax board work. Can someone help me? We have three levels, as far as I know.

Raad van Commissarissen: installed today, we have a new chairman after coronel and a new board including davids and cruyff. it decides the general and financial policy and represents all the shareholders?
Bestuur: that one was also guided by coronel. what now and what functions it has? to mediate between the board and the directie?
Directie: ok, it is where the policy and the football decisions are effectively made. and where we'll have a new general director together with financial director slop and commercial director van der aat. blind also here? or is a lower level?

If someone has patience to explain, I'll be thankful

[Cedric]

Here is my vision:

The "Bestuur" could also be translated as "board" if I'm correct (in french, I translate it as "Bureau" in this context). It is composed by 3 persons and it leads the association Ajax, which is the main shareolder of Ajax N.V., the professionnal football club run by the "board" (formerly Van den Boog & co).
The members of the "Bestuur" used to compose the Raad van Commissarissen (Supervisory board / Conseil d'Administration) and was completed with 2 other people. Obviously, this is no longer the case...

They want to change that model and it seems there will be two chairmen : Ten Have in the Raad van Commissarissen, and another one in the Bestuur of the association (?). And today they suggest there might be a bestuur for Ajax NV...

If it might help : I tried to make a diagram (in french of course) a few years ago of all that mess : http://www.ajaxenfrance.com/page-afca.html

many thanks cedric now I have to study a bit...!

[Orange14]

Cruyff was elected to the Board yesterday but apparently was a no show. I wish he would decide one way or the other whether he is going to participate or not.

[Manneken Pis]

Er ... can anybody give us a status update on where they are with this?
I haven't heard anything in ages and I 'm curious on where they are with the "Cruyff Revolution" (or not).

[Blind3]

Ajax Netwerk running blurb linked to De Telegraaf which talks of Marc Overmars becoming a part-time youth trainer.

[Philippe]

Let's sack Römer and Olfers.

Maybe they'll find a new and better job in Madrid ?

[Orange14]

This certainly cannot be a big surprise to anyone: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story ... ax?cc=5901

[rjf1]

The mention of Hiddink as being under consideration was a surprise to me.

[Blind3]

I'd be shocked if Guus Hiddink becomes our new DoF. A Led Zeppelin reunion is more likely.

[orange goblin]

I was thinking that with a new chairman and a new general director the structure would be complete. Also beacause Jonk and Bergkamp have finally signer their contracts and will form the "technical heart" of the club same with FdB.
But I was wrong, reading this:

Henk Spaan schreef zaterdag in Het Parool dat Tscheu La Ling, Maarten Fontein en Jaap de Groot plaats gaan nemen in de nieuwe bestuursraad. Vandaag (maandag) wordt er meer over bekend. Ajax gaat de ledenraad en het bestuur vervangen door een zevenkoppig bestuursraad. Deze raad moet de RvC gaan controleren. Er zou ook 'een supporterszetel' komen.
AjaxF-side.NL
Spaan en sportverslaggever Pim Overbeeke (op Twitter) maakten dit weekend ook al aanstalten om meer bekend te maken 'over de werkelijke afzegging' van Marco Van Basten bij Ajax. Overbeeke twitter zondagmiddag: 'Het lijkt een kwestie van tijd voor de ware reden -waarom #Van Basten het niet doet- naar boven komt! Stuk van Spaan gisteren helpt daarbij!'.

Vandaag is overigens ook het kort geding van de BAN tegen Ajax over de anti-jodenzaak.

wtf?

[orange goblin]

I think that only one person - and this is Kowalczyck- can explain us what is happening on the "silent" war of ajax board. I think the situation is awful.
if you read those lines and you have 5 mins, please tell us what's happening.

[Cedric]

Personally I'm waiting for the last man standing...

OK, so we're in Highlander mode

[GangstaRiB]

Wow.. a lot of news the last hours.

Steven ten Have (head of board of directors) is disappointed in Cruijff because Cruijff never attends a meeting etc etc. He released that interview today in an Amsterdam newspaper.

And minutes ago a bomb exploded:

The board of directors just named Louis van Gaal to be the new 'boss' of Ajax!!!!

Louis IN, that must mean that Johan is OUT.

Johan Cruijff has just been informed about this news. He must be having a heartattack.

[Blind3]

The Return of KING LOUIS !!! Wow. Shocked. Flumoxed even.

[Kowalczyk]

The board of directors just named Louis van Gaal to be the new 'boss' of Ajax!!!!

I am over the f**king moon!

This is the best (Ajax) news I have heard in ages. I am so happy. This is the best thing that could happen to Ajax.

K.

[souras84]

So what is the bigger picture of the board now?? I am kind of confused!!!!!!

[Cedric]

Who's the scriptwriter behind this crazy story?

I can't wait for Cruijff's reaction now...
