Skeletor Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 On 29/12/2014 at 12:45, Unbelievable! said: Quote Quote For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure this will be Frank de Boer's last season in charge of Ajax. He's achieved all he can there (4 league wins in a row) and the club hasn't really progressed in their Champions League endeavors (understandably, since they can't keep their best players once foreign clubs come sniffing), which was the target he set himself. Ajax are currently second, 4 points off PSV, and there is a sense that they've gone as far as they can. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that De Boer could be interested in a mid season move. Whether he would be interested in joining us is a different question altogether. On the one hand, we provide a foothold in a big competition, and are still seen as a fairly big club. On the other hand, our reputation in Holland is one of a graveyard club. For that reason, I would expect him to say thanks but no thanks and wait for a more appealing proposition. Would De Jong being there tempt him? Hard to say. I guess it could be an advantage that he knows two players here (Anita and De Jong) very well already. He's a name from the 90s, which is the only time Ashley ever watched football so he might have heard of him too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I always thought the criticisms of De Boer were that he wasn't effective enough and was too caught up on trying to play Tiki-Taka? Either way, would be a massive coup to bring him here IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Just been looking around trying to find a link between FdB and SBR, and can't seem to find one. He wasn't yet at Barcelona when SBR managed there. Was hoping good old Sir Bob had put in a good word about us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to hold back any joy or excitement until 1) Confirmed Talks/Approach 2) Confirmed Gone 3) Confirmed he's not coming back and then I'll get excited. I've already resigned that it could be anyone from Beardsley, Pulis, Sherwood to ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's for oldtype too. But naw man, don't worry. I've had this hope he'd be gone before, its the first time it actually looks like a possibility and sooner than later. Seriously I can't believe I was on the road yesterday and stayed away from the Everton match & N-O. Come home and watch the match, go on N-O and see the Pardew thread.

Ndegwa Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If de Boer came that would be unreal. Not sure he would come though, Vurnon probably wont give us a decent character reference If Ashley's looking for cheap and English/British then I'd love to see Howe here. Didn't work out for him completely at Burnley but his teams keep the ball and tend to score goals. He would have a pretty good squad to work with and a chance to add a couple in Jan. Still though, I somehow think we'll be hearing the phrase 'over the line' from our favourite silver-haired twat for the next couple of windows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If it's a case of waiting until the end of the season for someone to finish their contract / the season, I'd be more than happy with that. Too many occasions of us not thinking appointments through and think any half decent caretaker could see us safe without many problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It's going to be a temporary appointment until the end of the season, so someone like Pulis or Venables probably. After that it depends on Ashley's long term intentions here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixx Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Please just not someone from the english merry-go-round of managers. Ketsbaia and Tuchel are out of a job at the moment and I'd be ecstatic with them. However Laudrup's and de Boer's contracts are up in the summer and if that means Beardsley or Sherwood in the meantime I'll also be happy. I'm actually very worried but so relieved at the same time.
