Johan Cruyff’s column:
Everyone is aware how the level of Dutch football is deteriorating. We should be ashamed that only our champions are still in the UEFA tournament. This is not just because the big money is in England, Spain and Italy. Our teams stumbled over clubs from Denmark, Sweden, Cech Republic and Croatia. It is all because of our own failing. Not just the coaches, but also the people who appointed our coaches.
Managers and executives who occupy their jobs for their ego and don’t understand football. While managing a club is a real craft. In my time as a player, Ajax only had five man in the office. Today they have hundreds, but clubs are still being managed by people who see their jobs as an interesting hobby. Look at Heerenveen and NAC, where very well performing coaches like Gert Jan Verbeek and Ernie Brandts are asked to leave, while they’re doing great! In my book, these execs have lost the plot. And the most pathetic thing is, that when a top exec leaves, at Ajax for instance, it still takes months to find a worthy successor. And still they get it wrong.
I’ve been asked to take a seat in the Ajax committee. But I refused and I think that was a wise decision. I have given Ajax many suggestions over the last years and every time they abused my advice for their own agenda. I didn’t want to be used again. They will hold me responsible, but use my reputation for their own good. Some committee members will know exactly what I mean.
Lots of people will think: there is Cruyff again. Why doesn’t he take up the glove. My answer is simple: I wanted to. But there hasn’t been anyone who asked me to solve the problem. Because they are afraid to. Because if they let me, I will solve the problem. Only, my way is not a nice one. And that’s why Ajax keeps me out of everything when the going gets tough…
