Ajax 2015-16: What Will Frank Do?

All hope died.

 

Why is hope important? Well, life is difficult. There are many obstacles. Having goals is not enough. One has to keep getting closer to those goals, amidst all the inevitable twists and turns of life. Hope allows people to approach problems with a mindset and strategy-set suitable to success, thereby increasing the chances they will actually accomplish their goals (Psychology Today).

This is depressing to hear what happened to 1 of my favourite clubs.

 

While the Ling report was an embarrassment for the TH it shows more fundamental flaws in the club. The complete lack of professional organization shocked me. A first year business management student could probably implement a better structure. This is no way to run a company with a 100m Euro turnover, hell it's no way to run a small business or an amateur club.

The scouting department doesn't work and is actively ignored according to Bergkamp. The head coach seems to run the technical side of things without any check and balances. Youth coaches don't follow a set of guidelines but just do their own thing. There is no stored institutional knowledge or an attempt to codify best practices. The board of directors supervises the clubs in the finest traditions of the financial sector.

The lifeline of the club appears to be the youth scouting who are able to recruit the best talent both in the Amsterdam catchment area and on a national level.

I don't know why, but I had to think of Frank.

 

The Arena is a little bit empty I see..

 

Good to see.

 

Wtf... 0-0 when I went outside for a minute, 2-1 when I come back lol.

 

You just experienced the time warp. You unwittingly stepped through a wormhole and back. What you think was a minute back home on earth was half an hour. Collect your Nobel Prize for proving a theory of Einstein.

 

Sounds like you had a bit of fun last night.

 

I think you mean Orange14, but yeah I had a fun night with a celebration in a cafe and when I thought hearing someone say Ajax lost to Cambuur 5-1 I took a few Leffe triples and Bok beers to celebrate, only to sober up immediately when I looked on the smartphone and discovered my ears had played a trick on me. I already planned an enormous bundle of flowers for my auntie in Leeuwarden. Sigh

 

Nope, that was meant for you.

 

I'm starting to like the guy.

 

It's nice to have a player who's able to beat a guy in 1-on-1. Too bad the end product is lacking.

 

Yep, but he's still young and hopefully gets to sort it out.

 

On the last goal, Younes should have passed the ball to Fischer on the second touch. Instead, he wen't for own glory to secure his position.

This, i see very often. Where the attacking line is to selfish and doesn't play as a team.

 

Why do yo think that?

 

It is him or Fischer on the left flank if Anwar is fit again.

 

Okay, but I think it isnot a wise ation then as FdB is keen on team contribution versus selfishness.

 

WHAT finish by Cerny!!!!!!

Looks like Ajax might have a chance to finish 2nd after all

 

Why do you keep paying for Sanogo or however his name is written?
