I was at the Ajax-Feyenoord game yesterday with my daughter. Assume most of you have read and/or seen what happened.
Absolutely mental what the club has done. Appointed a new foreign director who totally ignored all input from the coach and spent 110m on players no-one has heard of before. Top of the list of crazy things is the 12m he spent on Akpom, who has (from the few minutes I have seen him play here) been totally useless and clearly out of his depth. Middlesborough must be having a very good chuckle about that one.
The director is now under investigation also, seems like one of his own companies benefited from these transfers, which would explain a lot of this madness.
We are always complaining about manager gets what manager wants, but this is a rare case of the exact opposite. This is going to take some time to put right. Club has lost its identity with all these no-name foreign mercenaries.
(Coach and director not on speaking terms now. Someone going to get axed soon) [Post edited 25 Sep 2023 7:50]

I saw that the game was abandoned due to the flares on the pitch,and also that there was trouble outside the stadium,but I thought that was just how certain games went in the Netherlands.
I hope you and you’re daughter are ok.They always seemed to be winning titles and playing champions league games so I was suprised to see them fall so far this season.
I did the stadium tour about 20 years ago and I was very impressed with it all.Very steep though,especially at the back of the stands.I’m not sure I’d want to walk up and down to the toilets after a few Amstels. |  | | |

Crowd issues flared up last year. Ajax player was struck on the head with an object last year in the away match at Feyenoord with a huge cut on his head. But several other games disrupted by stuff being thrown on the pitches and, in some cases, pitch invasions. Its a mess at the moment.
I have my own theories about the youth of today and the total lack of discipline they are allowed to grow up with here in NL, which leads to this behaviour of total disrespect and self entitlement. But that's a subject for another day 
p.s. we're fine thanks, didn't even notice anything strange as we were leaving, only saw video footage when we got home. | | | |

A real shame as they were always the club who brought through great young players. Not just Chelsea wasting fortunes on dross then.
Maybe we should send them Willock's highlights reel? |  | | |

well haven't seen footage but surely time ACROSS europe to SEARCH fans on entry due to the volume of fireworks/flares brought in, wasn't there once a motor scooter thrown at a milan derby?? simply search fans as we do here. i ask do they have "bans" in europe, it took effect here. ??

I was actually body searched upon entry. Clearly there are loopholes, or people working on the inside. | | | |

People worked inside your loophole?
Now THAT's a body search. |  |

I found the stewarding at Ajax strange when I went for a game a few years back
Had been in Resin all day watching Prem games (as you do in Amsterdam) then went to the ground for an evening kick off.
Was in the dreaded rip-off tourist section after my attempts to get tickets behind the goal fell flat
On the way in, loads of people, mostly English football types, getting stopped and searched quite thoroughly, empty pockets etc. Quite a lot getting caught with coke and being turned away which is understandable, but also a few with weed got turned away (Or had it confiscated) which surprised me.
The closer I got, the more it seemed like more people were being turned away than were being let in, even after the game had started, still dozens queueing and the stewards' only response to this was to move even slower.
At this point I'm thinking fck this, don't want anything confiscated, might just go back and watch on TV, was fcking cold, but a 60 Euro ticket and the wait for a train back to Central put me off leaving, so tried my luck.
Just as I'm walking up, a new steward appeared on duty, he just patted me down and waved me through, even tho I was carrying a big metal grinder and a bunch of zoot holders which he definitely could tell were there.
Meanwhile, the Steward next to us is threatening to call the police on some poor Sunderland fan because he found his little green plastic grinder, and apparently bringing that stuff to a football ground is a severe criminal offence? And it's obviously very important for British football fans to learn this lesson 30 minutes into a match we've all paid 60 Euros to watch. And all the while there's STILL a massive queue to get in.
Then you get into the ground and it's like the section behind the goal is just a free for all, smoke bombs, flares, fireworks, the lot. The game ended 4-4 vs Heerenveen, but it was 3-1 by the time I got in. Not in any rush to go back there. |  |

£12m for Chuba Akpom should be setting off an alarm at Interpol you can hear from space. |  | | |

I wouldn't let anyone into a ground carrying an angle grinder either. | |

They played out the game today, Feyenoord added another to win 4-0.
Post match analyse made special mention of how (in my words) totally rubbish Akpom was and what a dudd purchase he was. Everyone was baffled how Ajax decided to replace Dusan Tadic with this plonker.
I guess he can look forward to a loan spell somewhere pretty soon. | | | |

Maybe it did but there was nobody in space at the time to hear it. |  |

"Ajax coach John van 't Schip missed the game because he is in Australia to attend his son's wedding."
I'm sure that will go down well. |  | | |

I really love Ajax with their too-cool-for-school jersies, but then they really annoy me too with their constant bickering and bitching.
I'm torn. | |

I heard is power point presentation had already winged itself to the Ajax boardroom even while he was professing his undying loyalty to all things Maccam.
Just think, if he did get the job then it would not be long before Ajax started buying in copious amounts of a product with the same name. | | | |
