I'd want to change my answer to Murat Yakin.
I'm not sure it will that much of a risk really. It might be plain stupid but it's not like we are in a relegation position. De Boer also could be considered a massive risk and you can easily argue that Basel do much better in euro competitions then Ajax. In fact Basel are probably a better team than ajax right now I reckon.Yakin would be a massive, possibly ludicrous, risk.
Do a bit of research on how he sets up his Ajax teams....There is a difference between someone's general philosophy and/or formation being the same, to how it is applied on the pitch.
Personally, I cannot imagine how FDB's teams would be as criminally dull as ours has been at times.
Having said that, I finally have got to the point where I don't really care who the manager is.
Can I envisage the kind of success that causes Levy to keep this next manager for multiple years ? No. not really for a variety of reasons.
No point getting too attached to the next guy. Likelihood is he'll be gone within two years
I might sound very negative and depressing but that's because I feel very negative and depressed ! Football is fucked and until it changes, I can't see how we break the cycle we are in
His man Henk Ten Cate(top bloke, have met many times)...This isn't the right choice... Frank has had some issues the last 2 years, doesn't need the press hounding himFrank Rijkaard needs a strong no.2 to be successful and dont think we would give him that
Nobody discussing the link to Yakin, from Basel? http://metro.co.uk/2013/12/17/totte...-post-claims-basle-coach-murat-yakin-4234697/
Do a bit of research on how he sets up his Ajax teams....
High line, pressing, possession, ball circulation. Accused of being boring because the centrebacks see the ball the most and make the most passes, and they pass sideways more than anyone else.
Those who wanted AVB out are stupid if they want de Boer in.
Ajax's entire second half against Milan in the CL consisted solely of hopeful lofted long balls into the box too..
That said I have not seen much else of Ajax or FDB lately.. but I like the idea of him for some reason.
