That's actually not it. I said it from day one, the way ETH setup Ajax isn't his way, it's the Ajax way. He was and still is a manager that favors a more direct approach. Also people assumed that he was hired for us to play like Ajax but those are just assumptions and it was always an ambitious assumption when you consider the fact that Ajax are a very peculiar Football club, they built an identity decades ago and all managers regardless of their past follow that identity.
And the reason I was very positive about ETH was because he perfectly adapted to Ajax and followed the club's and Overmars' plans. The small issue is that I overlooked the fact that those plans are imposed and that people tend to act differently when they are given more freedom, most people only function properly under strigent structures which by the way is one of the things that makes someone like SAF exceptional, he had an incredible amount of self discipline and self reflection, most managers don't they are shortsighted and full of themselves.
