@@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.
They lost their manager, their CEO, their sporting director and half of their team within 2 seasons😭 Timber, Martinez, Tadic, Klassen, Onana, Blind, Mazraoui and Haller would be hard to replace even with Van Der Sar and Overmars
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.
@theportugueselegend the thing is, we wouldn't trust Van De Beek to perform well as he gets injured and doesn't play a lot and be realistic would any of these managers work with Ajax?
@@ChickenMusiala You should. Donny would be at home, would play in his favourite role and knows the culture at the club. Would be a role model. Most of those managers play a possession based football and have nice adaptability to other leagues. Postecoglou and Gallard specially.
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
Basel, Lyon and Ajax all getting relegated would be mad. All once heralded as the best run clubs in the world known for giant killings in the champions league. Could feasibly all get relegated this season.
They sold a lot of players for a lot of money too quickly. Not enough time to deploy the funds to replenish the squad. Losing Overmars and Edwin being out were a massive blow. Ajax will be back in a few seasons.
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.
Every club goes through hard times some more than the others, I have experienced it for a decade as a gunner. True supporters stay with the club through thick and thin and hope someday things get brighter
Im from rotterdam so love to see Ajax struggling. And my club Feyenoord was the first Dutch team to win a European trophy in 1970 and the last to win one in 2002
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.
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
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.
@a.demifemiflapo5795 After 1995, I was unable to follow any football because of work. I was AC Milan fan and had tocalled in sick to watch that Final against Ajax.
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.
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.
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.
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.

still baffled how you're able to explain complex structures within a club with many details within a 15min video, so that d*mb*sses, whose first language isn't even english, like me can understand. best football content creator itw. by far. love. much love
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
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.
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
Everybody be losing it over Ajax being mid table while Lyon, i.e. one of the most successful French clubs ever, is basically guaranteed to get relegated.
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
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.
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.
What a time to be supporting both Ajax and Man U. Layers upon layers of pain.
At least Man United probably won't be relegated
