Ajax 2015-16: What Will Frank Do?

The funniest part of the game was De Boer shouting at Klaassen at the end

Why would you shout in front of a mirror ?

 

Thanks for channeling your inner feyenoord, lets hope for another excited championsleague PSV run next season

 

Saw the game absolute horror show but anyone that watches Ajax already knew what was to come. I personally think its a blessing is disguise the title is lost but the board needs to look within and changes need to be made across all settimgs

 

Same thing happened here in Portugal with Benfica years ago 2004 to 2007 they were aweful then came Rui Costa and he became director and the test is history.

I think with a new coach at the helm things will be different

 

Even if the team scored in the 95th minute I would still have been in a sour mood. PSV deserved the title more than Ajax, that much was clear on this last match day. PSV came out hungry, prepared, organized and took it to Zwolle. Ajax came out and didn't care at all until it was too late.

 

I doubt if this selection is capable of any proper execution of a tactic. You should take any idiotic money thrown to you out of the ludicrous EPL tv money for these players and start a rebuild. Wish we had the money to do that.

 

I predicted the epic downfall of my cluppie after the winterbreak and now sort of did it with this post for Ajax. I'm feeling a kind of Cassandra throwing around doom and misery.

 

Bye Frank, it's a shame it had to end this way. Should have left 2 seasons ago.

 

Still don't know what to say, I'll just havea few more drinks I guess.

Anyhow, congrats to PSV.

 

The board will enjoy the status quo. Revenues aren't falling, they actually increased in 2015 and at the end of the day that's all they care about now. European embarrassments don't mean a thing and falling further behind PSV doesn't either. Once the bottom line begins taking a hit, then they'll take action.

In the meantime, we need to suffer through more seasons of an unprepared team, a shocking midfield and ridiculous substitutions.

 

Frank should have moved on when his stock was high. Now he'll never move on since no interesting teams are going to offer him a job and his best buds aren't going to ask him to leave

 

To be fair, European glory is a thing of the past for a team with Ajax's budget.

Having said that, if you can't beat a relegation team on the last day of the season with the title on the line, you deserve to be fired. Period.

I'm glad Frank stepped up when we were a shambles and hadn't won in years, but it's beyond time for him to go.

 

I refuse to accept that. It is a matter of within your means constructing the best possible team (see Leicester, it is about the same comparison to Ajax in the CL), luck of having no injuries and savy tactics.
PSV a few years ago missed the final against AC Milan with a balanced squad. The only thing that went wrong was the fact that shithead Fabregas out of frustration kicked Kone out of the season and thus removed a vital part of Guus well constructed team. The stars were in our favour until that kick, as with every new James Bond we won the Super trophy of Europe. Liverpool wouldnot have a chance against that PSV.
So, no..it is possible..difficult, but possible.

 

That memorable day a few years ago, King Louis lost the title in Rotterdamagainst relegated Excelsior, only to win it the next season....so...

 

It's possible but the odds are forever becoming slimmer. A team like Ajax would need to sacrifice a lot in order to make a run in the Champion's League, and it would start first with getting favourable group in the Group Stage like PSV had this season.

 

Fabregas/Kone was in 2007, PSV missing the final against Milan was in 2005...

PSV had a pretty solid team in that period anyway, Ajax too. The situation is a way worse for both now since 2010.

PSV had a lot of luck this season, seriously everybody watching their group games could see that even a weak team of Manchester was superior to them. PSV was lucky to get 4 points against them. PSV was also quite lucky against CSKA. The only good game PSV had this CL campaign was the game home against Wolfsburg.
If they have a group with Barca/PSG or Real/Dortmund/City like Ajax had, they would never go through.

Actually I would have liked to see the PSV defence of this season with players like Mertens, Wijnaldum or even Lens upfront. Players they had few years ago.
But during that time they had bad defenders : Marcelo, Derijck, Jorgensen, Manolev...

Zoet
Arias Bruma Moreno Willems
Guardado
Propper Wijnaldum
Lens Luuk Mertens

I'm sure they would have played much better football with this. Could cause much more problems to Atletico upfront than with Narsingh and Locadia...

For Ajax I don't have a lot of hopes. The best they could do now is developping V de Beek, Nouri and the other youngsters for the national team. And maybe in two or three years if they have developped youngsters + some older players like PSV had with Guardado and Moreno this year, they ll be able to have a nice run in CL, but now I don't expect anything...

 

Rubin Kazan defeated Barca, BATE Borisov defeated Bayern...Anecdotal victories. Ajax would never eliminate Barcelona in a knock out game or finish higher in the group stage.

 

Next season will be better. The young players like Nouri, Van Beek, Cerny will all have more experience. I think the lack of a 2nd striker really hurt Ajax. Overall the squad looks very good just think. Hopefully a new manager comes in and restores the winning culture at Ajax despite being in the Ereidivisie the potential that Ajax has is huge.

Also what are the chances that Jason Kluivert get chances next season

 

It doesnot matter in the sense that you already lost if a team has better players than you have in a tournement like competition. You can outsmart the better one. And the CSKA match in Russia PSV wasnot worse than CSKA, they started the match with an incredible laclustre attitude and when the woke up almost caught them, in Russia.
That superior ManU wouldnot have stood a chance against Atletico.
What matters now is that the youngsters have gained priceless experience what it takes to compete against the best and take that with them the coming CL season.
