Was anderes wär’s wenn ein Sportdirektor ständig Spieler einer bestimmten Agentur holt, mit deren Mitarbeitern er verbandelt ist. Aber Sosa hat ja angeblich extra “den Berater gewechselt” bzw. war Arthur Beck im Auftrag von Ajax unterwegs.

So, jetzt besteht ein potentieller Interessenkonflikt natürlich in der Frage, ob eine andere Agentur für Ajax ein besseres Geschäft hätte abwickeln können – und nicht etwa darin, dass jemand, den Sven kennt, ein Honorar kriegt.

Die Frage ist doch offen und wird immer offen bleiben müssen, oder?

Man könnte zudem annehmen, dass es zum Vorteil des Vereins gereichen müsste, wenn ein Sportdirektor auf jemanden zurückgreift, den er kennt und dem er vertraut.

Die können das rückwirkend als Rechtfertigung für den Rausschmiss verkaufen, falls da schon beim VfB was war. Wobei, wenn dem so wäre, dann würde das ja auch ein Versagen des Vorstands und der Kontrollorgane (Aufsichtsrat) bedeuten.

... Then came the day when Overmars – the former Ajax, Arsenal and Barcelona player – took down his pants in a toilet in an Ajax building, took a photo with his phone and sent it to a female Ajax employee. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it transpired it was not the only time Overmars had approached female colleagues in an inappropriate manner, and it led to his departure on 6 February 2022.

...

Van der Sar retired in the summer, saying he was worn out. He had appointed a new football director, Sven Mislintat, formerly of Stuttgart, Dortmund and Arsenal, who was instructed to sell heavily (€150m) and reduce the salary structure. Without Champions League income, Ajax had to make cuts for the first time in years. Mislintat succeeded, but the criticism was he acted largely alone.

He signed 12 fairly unknown talents, some of whom had never played at the highest level. He relieved Heitinga, who was popular with the fans, of his position and appointed Maurice Steijn, who was inexperienced at the top, and asked for a few months of patience.

But in Amsterdam they do not do patience. Ajax have made their worst start to a season since 1964 and to add to the sense of trouble it turned out that Misintlat had brought in a player, Borna Sosa, who was represented by the German agency AKA Global, which allegedly has a stake in the data company Matchmetrics in which Mislintat owns shares. The club has launched an investigation into the transfer.

Ajax said Mislintat had declared his interest in Matchmetrics when appointed but that they had not known about AKA Global’s alleged holding in the company at the time of the transfer. Mislintat, the club said, had said “he will offer his full cooperation and share all relevant documents” with the inquiry.

Everything culminated last Sunday in the match against Feyenoord, the arch-rivals who had been looked down upon with malicious pleasure in Amsterdam for years but who had overtaken Ajax by a massive margin last season, nationally and in Europe.

Feyenoord took a 3-0 lead. Ajax fans from the F-side ultras shouted for the board and Mislintat to go and twice threw fireworks on to the field, forcing the game to be halted. There were riots afterwards around the stadium, with hooligans forcing their way into the main entrance and confronting the police and mobile units in a manner not seen in Amsterdam for a long time. That evening, Mislintat was fired.

On Wednesday the club that would never allow itself to be overtaken by a Dutch rival must try to overcome a 3-0 deficit against the champions Feyenoord in 35 minutes in an empty stadium.

The future? Some fanatical fans are hoping that Overmars, who is now very successful at the Belgian double winners Antwerp, will return. Many others think that is a bridge too far. The club is hopelessly divided, which can almost entirely be traced to that moment Overmars dropped his pants and took out his phone.
