Club CEO Rik van der Boong admits that they need the support and expertise of former footballers but is against completely letting them run the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to implement the recommendations,\u201d said Van den Boog on Ajax\u2019s official website. \u201cAjax want the knowledge and experience of former top football players like Bergkamp and Jonk. But one thing is clear &#8211; we will be responsible for running the club, we simply cannot hand it over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cruyff gave his take on the situation and, according to Goal.com Netherlands, said, \u201cFor the people on the board, maybe it is a power struggle. They have no understanding of football.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the moment the board can do whatever they want and are just defending their own seat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Barcelona star continued: \u201cIf necessary, the directors and the board need to be replaced. But this will not be easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bergkamp also admitted his concerns: \u201dWe want the best for the club and want to serve it. However, the knowledge that is here at the moment is very little. It is very strange and very disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_1429-150x90.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>View original post here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/foreign.peacefmonline.com\/sports\/201103\/147693.php\" title=\"Johan Cruyff: Ajax Board Has No Understanding Of Football\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Johan Cruyff: Ajax Board Has No Understanding Of Football<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Netherlands football legend Johan Cruyff has said that the current Ajax board running the club has no understanding of football and believes that the Dutch powerhouse can return to its glory days only if the current directors are replaced. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-337169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
