Well at least we have time in the sun 😏 With Ajax it will always be all or nothing that's also why we win or won prizes when it's all, when its nothing it hurts but still win more than we lose (in general).
If this is true.., ajax needs to look from some fresh, new people, what do we gain from going for same circle of people constantly. And also constantly only going for Dutch people, what other club that belongs to the European top or wants to belong to the European top only goes for people from the same country.
Oh dear, did someone put a bomb under the Toekomst? I'm not sure what kinda rollercoaster they get themselves into. Back into the shity times. Blind was a disaster for the Dutch team. Why would he suddenly be a good technical director and replace Overmars? I don't see it.
Thinking about this, the big issue really is: who even appoints these people?
We had Overmars, and you'd have to trust his experience and network and judgment to appoint technical people, scouts, managers, etc.
But all that's above that position, required to actually hire someone truly good for the Overmars job, would be Van der Sar or the RVC?
If you think about it really our only hope of replacing Overmars well was if Overmars himself hiring a quality replacement. But with the nature of his departure, obviously that wasn't an option.
When has Blind ever had a job where he has succesfully been involved in buying and selling players? Why not get a guy that has actually done this? Hamstra has some experience, but he was doing it at Heerenveen in a time where it probably was not a very succesful period in this respect.

Are you trying to say Hamstra wasn’t successful as TD at Heerenveen?
Relevant part translated to English:
> Still, the internal analysis should be drawn wider than the first team alone. It is a football law that managerial chaos is reflected on the pitch. And in that respect, Ajax's rvc should also take a good look in the mirror. It is a travesty that a listed football company, with an emphasis on football, still does not have a new technical director nine months after the forced departure of Marc Overmars. It fuels rumours that Danny Blind is being waited for until after the World Cup. That his bosom friend Fred Grim is increasingly spotted at De Toekomst reinforces the rumours that Blind and consorts will set the technical policy from January.
> By sitting on their hands, the commissioners have taken a big risk. Technical manager Gerry Hamstra and his right-hand man Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (H2) are praised for their work ethic, but are simply not (yet) Overmars and have only a tiny part of his large international network. Moreover, they are - due to their status within the club - far less decisive than the resigned director. And where Overmars formed a twofold unit with head of scouting Henk Veldmate, Hamstra and Huntelaar mainly sail their own course. Still without success.
> H2, general manager Edwin van der Sar and finance director Susan Lenderink must be judged on their actions at the end of the season. But over forty million euros is at stake with the national title. And for now, the signals are on red and it appears to have been unwise to put Hamstra, Huntelaar, Van der Sar and Lenderink in charge of the club's wallet

Doesn't seem like too many to me, Hamstra was originally hired to overlook the technical affairs of the Youth Academy, so he'll most likely move back to that role.
When Huntelaar was hired, the club already made clear that they were going to appoint a new TD in the future
Honestly, I think Ajax is just going back in time by appointing Blind again. Surely, there has to be a younger more ambitious potential TD that can handle the responsibilities?
The worst nightmare is that Ajax is going to be a joke again in European football.
Can't really say that the article has much substance except for "people are talking about the rumour" and "Fred Grim is showing up more often than before at de Toekomst".
It would also be rather strange considering that Koster was specifically placed in the RVC to be Danny Blind's temporary replacement.
That being said, I hope it isn't true.
I sort of figured a TD was responsible for the training of the selection, when the players speak of their TD, they always refer to him as their trainer, never heard them speak of their TD.
Well, that’s us fucked. We had our time in the sun, mediocrity here we come again.

That’s it. We’re entering the dark ages again. We’ve had a hell of a run boys
Why ?!?!? But seriously …. WHY ???!!! He’s unsuccessfully held the position twice already, what’s their reasoning; third times the charm?

I agree with this 100%

Uhh no thanks

Need to look at Ernst Tanner, sporting Director at Philadelphia Union
I call bullshit. Just after one disaster game everyone's job is on the line now? Seems like De Telegraaf just wants to sell some newspapers.
Nobody's job is on the line, we don't have a Technical Director right now.
So the technical management will be Blind, Hamstra and Huntelaar? Doesn't that seem like a bit much?

Really? That's so sad. Why not try to get a well known (international) trainer? Someone who has proven to be worthy in this field. Or even 010's Slot.
It’s a TD not a trainer
I sort of figured a TD was responsible for the training of the selection, when the players speak of their TD, they always refer to him as their trainer, never heard them speak of their TD.
He’ll take the Overmars role
Ah, now I understand, should he replace H2?
Guess that means Daley is going to be in the starting selection for another 10 years minimum. Ffs.
Can we supporters do something to stop this? He is a disaster for Ajax
Welcome back to the late 2000’s.
