​@@baseupp12But they are unarguably more painful to be a fan off. United has unlike Ajax almost unlimited funds that rivaled Cities budget year after year. 15 years ago they were arguably the biggest club in the world (although i personally would disagree). For 10 years now United is a story of disappointment, immense investments with no payoff, a talent dead end. Waste money, waste players, waste young talents. And ar the end of the day they never take the TINIEST BIT OF RESPONSIBILITY. Its always the players fault. But after 10 years of constant underperformed talents *and* stars maybe are indicative of a cultural problem in the Club. They just don't want to he successfull. For me, Ajax Story looks like hella complacency.

The problem is, they didn't even try. They have Owen Wijndal, Francisco Conceição and Naci Unuvar loaned out, a 40 year old goalkeeper, a lack of depth in the centre back position and a mediocre midfield, which they've spent a fortune on and they don't perform. Actually, Ajax never needed to spend the enormous amount of money they did this last year. And they did it without proper care or scouting, which is more alarming! For example, the squad needs a leader. They had the chance to bring back Van de Beek for the second season in a row and didn't do it. They needed a manager, couldn't splurge money on names like Marcelo Gallardo, Pochettino, Postecoglou, Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte and plenty other which where available. It's a problem of bad leadership, nothing more.

this is not the first time for Ajax that club is in chaos it happend also around 2000 but after a few years they bounce back with at time big help from Johan Cruijff, he can't help this time sadly but if Ajax relegated or don't win trophies for a long time I'll be there as a fan supporting my club in good and hard times. eens ajacied altijd ajacied

Quick asterix on their 12th place, as of right now. If you look at the table at 0:52 you see that Ajax has 11 games instead of 12 like the rest of the teams. This is because during their match against RKC Waalwijk, they had to cancel the match because the goal keeper of RKC had lost consciousness, who's fine now btw. Tragedy aside Ajax would probably be in the 8th spot as they were up by 3-2 had this not have happened and if they win the continuation in the near future.

Why didn’t they keep the interim manager? Especially if they are gonna play so many young players that he coached in the academy

Great coverage as always 🫡👊🏿

Might as well do Lyon next

basel and lyon fans sweating right now

the frontoffice has lost a lot of football knowledge throughout the years, and with the loss of players like Alvarez Tadic and Klaassen they lost all leadership on the field. After that the team just felt lost, new signings are hugely underwhelming

Look mom look it’s another football iconic video

I always thought Ajax has lost its luster when they had to move from the De Meer Stadion and the Bosman decision. Losing the DeBoer brothers, van der Saar, Davids, Reziger, Kluivert, and the rest, were draining. And at the time, Ajax would find and develop players from Africa, and elsewhere along within the Dutch community, but other countries started scouting in those areas. If you are a talented young player, would you go to Germany, France, England, Italy or Spain, or would you go to the Netherlands? The Bosman rule, hampered Ajax's ability to keeping their young talent at home. Moving into the stadium also hurts (I'm assuming they to keep cut spending like Arsenal did moving into the Emirates Stadium) and had rely on selling their young early or lose them on a "free". Ajax could no longer sell on their terms and use those monies to reinvest in youth set-up. The last time I actually remembered Ajax was deep in the Champions League was in Kluivert's return to the club in their victory over AC Milan.

Pretty sure Daley Blind left (not signed) last season Also from the signing I had only heard about Borna Sosa and Van den Boomen

this is a funny time to make this because ythey've actually been turning things around these past couple of weeks. A month ago this would've been 100% true but now they are actually starting to win convincingly again.

I never understand when some higher-ups sign players the actual manager doesn't know, or want... How can this even happen?

Went to the ajax stadium on my trip to amsterdam.. beautiful stadium

*UPDATE:* Ajax is now in 8th and in contention for a Conference League playoff spot...

It seemed like just yesterday thwy were making that deep run in the ucl... what a shame

In every other universe are Mislintat and Ajax the PERFECT duo. Its kinda baffeling how this ended.

I hope they'll be fine, Best academy

You know your club messed up when your sporting director looks like Norman Reedus

santiago gimenez mentioned 😄🇲🇽

The streets won't ever forget the iconic ucl run of ajax in 2019.

Glad that Bhutan football club was mentioned.

The fact now that Bodø/Glimt of all teams took a 2 - 0 lead on Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena says everything with Ajax this season. It was a lead that Bodø/Glimt bottled in extra time, true. But it's to be expected with how the Norwegian league is set up in comparison to other leagues. Bodø/Glimt are in their pre season. This Thursday Ajax comes to Aspmyra, and the UEFA conference league play off will be decided. And if earlier trips to Aspmyra by big european teams is any indicator, Ajax is going to be in trouble. Just ask Besiktas, Roma, Celtic, AZ Alkmaar, Lugano, maybe even PSV and Arsenal even though we lost to Arsenal and PSV.

This might be painfull for Ajax fans, this might be Ajax own fault because of some of their decisions. But this is literally why we said no to something like the super league. Many football clubs today are over 100 year old. There will come a season where even the biggest giants will fail. And that is exactly why we love football, for its ups and downs. “You are no longer Ajax” is not true, you stick with your team no matter the ups and downs if you truly care for your team. I should know, my team of EFB in Denmark is an old an succesfull club who got bronze 4 years ago. Now we’re in the 3rd best league. Look at nottingham forest. Look at Liverpool, City, Chelsea etc many teams who had years of gap before ever coming back to the 1st division or winning. In the end this is what football is about.

Blind had been there for ages already under Schreuder's season so wasn't really a signing.

That Fergie meme was just beautiful 😂

Ajax problem is been always selling their best players as soon they can that is been the strategy of the club for long time .The club kept their best players just four times since 1975 but this common in Netherlands all clubs use this strategy selling players to everyone who can afford it.

Please have music link!

After todays 5-0 win over Vitesse they stand 8th. Not be bad and definitely they coming back

Crazy of him to expect Dutch to be spoken in Netherlands, how aweful!

Do a video in Hertha BSC and their downfall!

Not me being an expat supporting Man Utd living in Amsterdam, just 10 mins away from Johan Cruyff Arena...

the day you document united you will cry

That last quote about " no one's boss, but everyone is " is really bad, everyone wants to get there way but no one wants to take the full responsibility for leading the team, that's so telling more than people are willing to look into, its such a bull-- workplace political environment to be in, in any job

It's sad to see a legendary club like Ajax struggle, and I hope they recover and flourish again. They've found and produced some of the most talented players in history, despite the bigger richer leagues turning them into a selling club not a final destination club some time ago.

As an Ajax fan.. I am upset. Van’t Schipp please save us

It's just Ajax they do this once a decade after a fire sale. Youth academy will spit out another ridiculous first team in a few years.

Well Bayern coaches speak also German when the talk to the whole team. Every coach and player have to learn German as fast as possible. Look at guardiola

This video came a little bit too late though. Ever since vt Schip took over, players are being put in the right place. And they have been performing better. I'm not saying the tables have turned completely, but the quality of football play on the pitch has been moderately better and is improving week by week. You hear a lot of negatives about all the expensive signings of Mislintat, but most of them just need some time and opportunity to perform honestly. And that is all possible with current trainer. former trainer Steijn was very reluctant in playing the new signings, out of protest to Mislintat. Which was absurd. Glad he's gone. This team has enough talent to at least crawl back to top 5 this season, so not all is lost yet. And the turmoil within the club is slowly but sure being subdued as well by bringing in Van Gaal as an advisor and Danny Blind on to the supervisory board. WIith talents like Hato and Brobbey (yes, i do believe he can improve his finishing), and decent signings like Sutalo/Akpom/VD Boomen, this team actually has a bright future! WZAWZDB

It's happening with Benfica too. It will basically keep happening to any club that does not have a bottomless pit of television money like the English clubs do. This money does not solve all problems but what it does is allow a much bigger margin of error.

Looking at that player assembly I don't think i'd even want to buy a shirt with any of their names on the back of it. Doubt Ajax right now has more than 25% homegrown or even eredivisie familiar players. Faceless club

I support Ajax & leverkusen Bitter sweet time right now.

Daley Blind? He was at the club at the time. He wasn't a signing.

I really don't get how Mislintat still gets DoF jobs around big clubs in Europe. His only good stint was with Dortmund.

finally time voor fc emmen to step up. a club with real history on top would be a nice change

It's dangerous to sell every season half their squad. Just not a very smart strategy and it only worked for such a long time because the eredivise is such an uncompetitve league.

If ten hag stayed at Ajax, both United and Ajax would be in better positions right now

Man U please let them have Van de Beek, Antony and Onana back, maybe they can help Ajax more than they helped us!

Bro I hate when former players just shit on the new players of their old club. It is not motivating! It’s demoralizing! And when shit is this bad the issues are always systemic.

Ajax is in a rough spot and this season is pretty much lost. Since the manager was replaced things are turning for the better. It's still not Ajax worthy but at least they are winning matches. I can see them end up in maybe 5th or 6th place. Some of the players are beginning to develop, (Hato) and others are in better shape, (Brobbey, Taylor and Berghuis). As of yet Ajax are in 8th place, so they have definitely moved ahead in the ranking. That Mislintat scumbag causes quite a bit of damage, but nothing permanent. This is Ajax, and they will rise again, mark my words.

It appears that the football balance is changing fast. The likes of Basel, Lyon, and Ajax are falling apart. Same goes for the national team, where you can see Brazil and Germany, who were traditional powerhouses in World Cup, entering a crisis mode. You can see this thing in HITC Sevens' video (he already made it yesterday).
