Hmmmm.... I think it has a big significance...

Let's say Ajax are one of 5 teams capable of winning that league (Ajax along with PSV, AZ, Twente and Feyenoord). FDB should therefore expect to win the league once every five years, that would be an average 'expected' achievement. However he has surpassed this massively.

If I read what you have said above correctly can I also assume that if LVG comes in and wins 4 league titles in a row with Man Utd it would be nothing special? After all Man Utd are in England all those things that you state Ajax is in The Netherlands.

Except this league is infinately more powerful, and there are teams with more resources than united even though united have a bigger pull and bigger brand name, not to mention the actual quality of the squad united have at this moment.

However it is not as impressive as LVG doing it with liverpool or arsenal 4 times in a row

if van gaal got united into the top 4 four years in a row then that wouldnt be anything special.....

I wasn't talking about LVG getting Man Utd into the top 4 four years in a row. I was talking about him winning the league 4 years in a row. Would you, or would you not consider that to be impressive?
 
Do you know if that was before we took eriksen off them as he was seen pre season as there main man and we did not take him until late if I recollect correctly :-k
 
They also lost alderweireld*at the same time I think and Ajax had to bring in a youth striker with little to no experience again I stand to be corrected I just remember them looking a little lost and no star names other than blind and most of the dutch football experts writing them off

Babel and sulejmani too

although im not sure if babel going was to be considered that bad ;)

Not the same

I don't agree. United are streets ahead of Arsenal in both terms of finances and pull. They also have a bigger name that City or Chelsea and would have no trouble matching the wages they could pay for the right player.

In the Netherlands PSV and Feyenoord are big clubs, maybe not as glamorous as Ajax but really big all the same.

I guess the two kids are his sons (Sebastiano 18 and Maurizio 12 according to Soton's OS)?

Colour scheme looks fairly Spurs blue?
