Johan Derksen does not understand that Alex Kroes has agreed to a return to Ajax in the role of titular technical director. The moustache sets Today Inside that the man who was suspended as general manager at the beginning of this month for insider trading in club shares should ‘not settle’ for this ‘demotion’.
René van der Gijp was positive on Thursday evening about the developments that followed each other in rapid succession earlier in the day in Amsterdam. “It does reassure those supporters,” the regular table guest points out. “So much hassle, so much unrest… you have now given him a position as technical director. I agree with Wim Kieft: he did not commit murder, he just acted very clumsily with those shares. There was a lot of unrest would have arisen if they had really sent him away, so I think it is a good outcome,” says Van der Gijp.

Derksen then sounded a completely different note: “As Kroes, I would not settle for that. He was appointed as general manager and indeed made that mistake, and I don’t think it’s too bad, it really is a slip-up. I would than not settle for a demotion. He can also say: ‘Then I thank you for the honor“If I had fifteen million in the bank, I would keep the honor to myself,” says the former editor-in-chief of Football International.
Moreover, Derksen foresees a major problem surrounding Kroes’ new position in the Johan Cruijff ArenA: “Do you know what you get, with Kroes as technical director?” he asks his table companions. “Then attention will again be paid to ensure that he does not do business with the agency he was once part of and where his partner still works (SEG, ed.). Then it will start to stink again,” Derksen then gives the answer himself.
