I hope he chooses to come here with Erik but wouldn't blame him for the taking the Ajax hotseat.
Mitchell van der Gaag…

Wow,this guy must be the business.
Wow, that would be huge. Turning down managerial role at Ajax to continue as ETH's assistant.
Important to get him in with Erik and expect him to do so.
Get Mike's P45 ready
We get two baldies for the price of one…you could almost say that we are going dutch (I’ll get my coat)
And people just learned Ten Hag is spelled with one "a". 
Hope we get this wrapped up.
You’d like to think it would a be a formality really and EtH would have discussed this prior. Maybe it is.

Get used to seeing Haag for a number of years. People here still write LingaardAnd people just learned Ten Hag is spelled with one "a".
.I hope we can convince this guy to join also. People underestimate how important having a good assistant manager is. We all seen how the wheels started to come off during Jose’s time here when Rui Faria left, and who knows how things would’ve played out had Ralf been able to bring his first choice no. 2 with him as well.
This guy generally seems reliable
But I would be very surprised if he turned down the Ajax Manager job to be United Assistant manager.
In that case I could only assume United are paying him quite a bit more, and he'll have a big say in things at United
Hope we can comvince him.
Haag n Gaag? It's going to be a disaster.
I thought they would take this approach, big decision if he turns it down. Hope he’s ready to join ETH without his preferred assistance is like having Ralf at the moment.
Surely EtH and Mitchell have agreed this together? Just depends how much of a spanner in the works the management job at Ajax is
fecking watch him want to stay at Ajax and we have to put up with Phelan as our defensive coach next season
I don't mind as long as they ful'Phil' the roles they have been 'Grant'ed
Gaag em and Teg em boys!
We're in for a wild ride with these two!

I’m guessing it’s to give him a full view of all his options financially and career wise.
Official Announcement of VdG' s appointment.
Is he the guy who's credited with organising the superb defensive side of things at Ajax?
Laurie Whitwell reported that VDG speaks 7 languages - anyone knows what they are ?
One has to be bullshit so he can effectively communicate with the owners and players.
Sniper's dream
I wonder if he can still strike a ball
He's a bit mental if he really did turn down the Ajax job to carry on as an assistant coach but I'm very glad he did. I did hear a rumour though that he has a heart condition and that's maybe why he prefers being an assistant?
All of the best Dutch names include Van. Its a positive start
Dutch, English, Portuguese, French and Spanish were widely reported a month or so ago. Looks like he's learned two more in the past month.
Speaks 7 different languages. Will be able to speak to most of our players in their native tongue
If he know's those, I'd suggest he knows German and Italian also.
Hope he knows the word cnut in every language so can properly address everyone.
