When discussing the aspirations and frailties of Town's up-and-coming youths posters often mention Ajax. This is a shortened version of a current Beeb report: When it was announced this month that Kjell Scherpen, aged19 would join Ajax in June from FC Emmen, Ajax fans weren't happy. He was ordered to write the lines: “Ajax is the most beautiful club in the Netherlands” 1,000 times because he had bad-mouthed Ajax on social media in 2011, saying the club were "lucky". Edwin Van der Sar, Ajax's chief executive, commented, “there was no time to mess about”. It's perhaps not what those posters had in mind. | |
