Ajax sack manager Maurice Steijn with the worst record of any Ajax manager since the introduction of professional football in Holland. 36 times winners of the Dutch Eredivisie, Ajax are now one off the bottom with Steijn managing just one league win in his time there. However, the German Sport Director Sven Mislintat, also sacked, has to take alot of the blame as he abandoned Ajax's traditional youth academy and brought in 12 players costing around £100 million (including Akprom from Boro). However, most of them ended up on the bench and the only one who looks like he will fit in is Carlos Forbes who they got from Man City. In fact if you look at Ajax's budget, there are Eredivisie clubs with a fraction of that who are outperforming them.
