Comments on: Now Is Not the Time… http://ajax.theoffside.com/team-news/now-is-not-the-time.html News from Ajax Amsterdam Dutch football team Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:11:31 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: jason http://ajax.theoffside.com/team-news/now-is-not-the-time.html#comment-435 jason Wed, 11 Feb 2009 06:54:25 +0000 http://ajax.theoffside.com/team-news/now-is-not-the-time.html#comment-435 Last season, AZ fans were not too happy with their coach... I don't see them slowing down. They are playing some champagne football on a beer budget. The difference is a season. MvB needs time and players trust. I think if he has one critism it is that MvB threatens people's place in the team too quickly. Last season, AZ fans were not too happy with their coach… I don’t see them slowing down.

But, if a manager (or player) loses the confidence of the Arena, things can get pretty awful. Syd - Yeah. Not sure I thought of the same word, but, yeah. Flippy - Marco the Architect. I am sure I have said or heard that before... Koewart - Great point. Right now, I think that is the best thing one can say about the Wielart purchase, too: he is older than your typical university student. Of course, he is also slower as well. s - Of all the comments, this is perhaps the most significant. Who will speak in the dressing room, now? And remember, the captain has to be on the pitch enough to matter (sorry, Gabri). I am not calling for his head either, and I am not surprised that few of you guys are.

Ajax are really promising, and looked ready for it, until the last few weeks. Now they are still promising but proven not ready for it, I hope MvB is given time because I think he can make Ajax great again. Also, most coaches need more then one season to build a good side out of a mess(ajax last year), so MvB should be given time Do you realize how young this ajax side is? only cvita, wielaert,gabri and stekelenburg are older then 23 in the side that played vitesse.

In the summer we need to make some drastic changes heres an analogy: the great ajax was once a great building, but someone blew up the basement and the building is now tilting sideways and will soon collapse in a few years. someone must find a way to keep the building standing before its base is rebuilt. Then the damaged floors need to be cleaned out and replaced with beatiful ones. This project will take time. Once this project is finished the building will come out better than it was before... So Ajax is this tilting building the players it has right now are the other floors, but it needs the basement (the leader, structure) to hold the building (team) together. the damaged floors are our other weaknesses. MvB is the architect. Yeah that was weird, but all I could think of...

There is no leader on the field now.....no one...

I would HATEHATEHATE to see him resign now (or be sacked by the club) - we're still in the running for second, technically, and he's only had half a season in charge. There is just way too much impatience in football these days (Big Phil's out at Chelsea!?). Hmmm… wanna make sure my previous post isn’t construed as calling for MvB’s head.

He can and will make mistakes! This is not Ajax of 95. Its time we fans stop expecting miracles. We cannot keep changing coach/players (and more importantly selling our best), we must give them time to work through their problems. Our team needs our support! This is Ajax!!! we will rise stronger and more brilliant than before. MvB is not God, he cannot turn the team around in one season. He can and will make mistakes! This is not Ajax of 95.

But IF he's really lost the players, and IF they don't beat the crap out of Fword in the Classic, then yeah, I'd have to say it might be time for a change. Hard to believe how good things were looking less than a month ago, and it's pretty discouraging to think of going back to square one AGAIN.
