Jason Wilcox - New technical director

So this is what he wants to play, and Ajax forced him into a better compromise?

Ajax is the odd approach and what he did with Ajax largely matches with their ideals. So yes, you can bet that Ajax gave him a mandate when he signed for them. His previous teams were counter attacking teams while his Ajax team was a heavy possession team.

My guess is that his ideal is a mix of what he did before Ajax and things that he learned with Ajax, the issue being that he doesn't know how to amalgamate them.

He's also said that the squad dictates the playing style. Doubt he'd think he'd be winning leagues with Go Ahead Eagles and Utrecht playing total football against Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord.

Also not inconceivable that he's been told that he has to accommodate a playing style suiting our PR starboy.

You can tell he's been reading the Caf because he's using transfer windows as a measure of time now
