Panna King 1,012 Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 Most productive season for Ajax since 1986 Ajax has just had one of its most productive Eredivisie seasons in club history. In only 2 years previously has Ajax scored more than 119 competition goals. The record could be traced back in the books, going quite far back. It was achieved in 1966-1967 when the champion from Amsterdam scored 122 goals. 1980s The only other season in which more goals were scored was in 1985-1986, when Ajax scored 120 goals, but did not win the championship.

Yes I go and watch them but don't have time to see them all the time as I am back and forward from London, its best to see them play against a bigger team as the atmosphere as well as the football is entertaining for a neutral.

Well they do not need a huge budget for transfer apart from buying a few experience players time after time, most of their funds go in to their youth development and coaching. Plus they have footballing people running the club from top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panna King 1,012 Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 The Netherlands recently won the Under 17 European cup, the majority of the team was from Ajax. Star Player Brobbey a big centre forward with a similar build to Lukaku at such a young age, Quote Bobby Brobbey is having an incredible season. The Dutch striker has scored 34 goals in 35 appearances for the under 19s this season aged just 17. That's to go with the 26 goals in 24 games for the under 17s last season. Brobbey, who was born in Amsterdam in 2002, which makes me feel sickeningly old, has also made two appearances for Jong Ajax, the club's second side, this season without scoring. The teenager has already won silverware with the national side too having been part of the Netherlands' team that won the 2018 UEFA European Under 17s Championships Brobbey is from quite the footballing family as his brothers, Kevin Luckassen and Derrick Luckassen, play for Almere City and PSV respectively. Unuvar is the youngest ever scorer at 15 years old, he is tipped for huge things.

There’s a book by a Spanish journalist that was permitted to live from inside the whole story of Guardiola at Bayern and Ten Hag’s name comes up countless times. It’s really interesting mate and you should read it. I’ll find the name and I’ll post it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial terms of the agreement have not been made public, but Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf says the deal will see the Anheuser Busch InBev (AB InBev) brand, which trades under the name Bud in the Netherlands, pay the Eredivisie club more than €12 million (US$14.9 million). The tie-up covers both Ajax’s men’s and women’s teams, adding to Budweiser’s extensive soccer portfolio, which includes a longstanding partnership with the Fifa World Cup.

Bud is not very common on Draft in The Netherlands due to all the Dutch and Belgian draft beers. So it is a good move from Bud to have this selling in a 55,000 stadium. I think the only thing Bud have exclusive is one of the Sky boxes at The Johan Cruyff arena that will only sell Bud. Also bud will have advertising in the Stadium. Overall its a great deal for Ajax, it shows their recent success plus the work done by Van der Sar and Overmars are taking the club to another level.

Panna King 1,012 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Dutch soccer giants Ajax have renewed their contract with their main shirt sponsor Ziggo for a further two years, in a deal that could be extended through 2024. The Eredivisie champions last renewed with Ziggo, a Dutch pay-TV network, in October 2018, extending their partnership through 2020. After a successful season for the Amsterdam-based club, the two parties have decided to add two more years to that arrangement and an option for two more. Ziggo, which first partnered with Ajax in 2015, has been paying around €8 million a year, plus as much as €2 million in bonuses up to this point, but according to reports that sum is now set to increase. According to the club’s accounts, Ajax brought in around €28.9 million in total sponsorship revenue in 2018. Edwin van der Sar, Ajax chief executive, said: "We are very grateful to Ziggo for the trust placed in us and the way in which they, as the main sponsor, give substance to our cooperation. “Ziggo will also organise several activities and promotions for our fans this season.” The network – a joint venture between Vodafone and Liberty Global - retains its prominent branding across Ajax’s physical and digital assets and will now also provide exclusive Ajax content via Ziggo Sport as part of the extension. Marcel de Groot, Vodafone-Ziggo director, added: "With our new partnership, customers can now enjoy Ajax even more than before. From unique win promotions, with ultimate Ajax experiences such as the ‘Golden Seats’, to exclusive Ajax content on Ziggo Sport. Think of the weekly program Inside Ajax, but also the live broadcasts of European preliminaries and practice duels.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a good deal, Dutch Beer will still be sold in the stadium but also now Bud want to come into the Dutch beer market, its a good way for them to start in a big stadium. Ajax also get 2 million a season from the company so its not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
