Van Hanegem: Ajax, take JC on board!
February 18th, 2008 | By: Jan | No Comments »
It is very strange that the Ajax committee didn’t bother to talk to Leo Beenhakker, who was technical director at Ajax some time back. Ok, the man can elaborate too much, every now and then, but he does know his business. He was in the thick of it and his signings were actually very good (Maxwell, Trabelski, Zlatan Ibrahimovic). A missed opportunity.
And Leo also knows to put his finger on the sore spot called Johan Cruyff. He always calls him the Fool on the Hill. The man who shouts from his mountain putting everyone at Ajax in an immediate stress. Well put and courageous too!
I read the typical football comments in the report. They talk about scouting players for Ajax 1. Well…in my view, Ajax should develop youngsters for the team and sign players who have arrived already and who can add value immediately. And you don’t need to scout those latter types. Look at Luque. How hard can it be? We’ve seen him play in Spain, and at Newcastle. So, if you want him, just check why he failed in England. And then you sign him, or you don’t. Sometimes people make running a football club into rocket science. Well, it isn’t.
Johan said he’d help Ajax solve their problems if they’d ask him. Well, I’d say: grab him! He is a real Ajax-man. The best player the club ever brought forward and I don’t think we’ll ever see a better player than him.
If he claims to be willing to carry the weight, go talk tio him. They are looking for a general manager. A warm personality, who can represent Ajax. Well, that figure head exists. And he claims he can solve the problems! What more do you want? You’d be stupid not to take him on on his offer. Because, if you don’t, he’ll go back to his hill and starts screaming down again. So, ask him, and then if he refuses at least you stopped him commenting on everything Ajax… And that’s another benefit…
