If de Boer's such a good manager he should be walking that league - yet he bottles the title on the last day. Couldn't even beat Celtic earlier in the season, is very stubborn and refuses to acknowledge his teams failings just like a certain manager we know of - he has said numerous times his team did not win because the other side "parked 2 buses".
Just because he was a good player doesn't mean he's a good manager.
You are aware that when he took over Ajax hadn't won a title in 7 years under 6 different managers and were in serious financial and organisational trouble? He took over in december 2010 when they were in 4th place, then they sold Suarez in january without getting a replacement in, and still won the league. And won it 3 years in a row, meanwhile the club was in shambles, major cuts, lowered wages and spending and reorganisation, all kinds of drama and backstabbing. They kept selling their best players. Besides winning 4 titles under him during that time, they've also gone to being an incredibly healthy club financially in those few years, profitable with 100+ million in the bank. Dutch clubs don't tend to have rich owners, so yeah.
I agree though that they've been fickle in Europe, they have looked good against some good teams, and not so good against some of the lesser teams. I think this is due to them basically having the youngest team in Europe, they lack consistency and show naivity. That's worthy of criticism in my opinion, but isn't just on him but on Ajax's overall technical policy. Their depency on youth is failing.
De Boer is a pure myth, finishing 2nd at Ajax is like finishing 2nd with the Old Firm, couldn't beat Rapid Vienna in CL qualifying either.
I've never been on the De Boer bandwagon almost impossible to not challenge at Ajax and he's done worse than many before him.
Worse than many before him, really? What about the 6 managers before him that didn't win the Dutch league in the 7 years before he became manager?
Also, the comparison to Scottish football doesn't hold. The financial gap between those 2 Scottish clubs with the rest of their league is much bigger.
