Recommended Reading: Quarrelsome Cruyff

Simon Kuper on the roots of Dutch great Johan Cruyff and his recent takeover bid of Ajax:
Yet this is probably the final act of the long psychodrama. Given Cruijff’s history, it’s not hard to predict that this will end in quarrels. After that, one struggles to envision a successful Sixth Coming. Dutch football is slowly escaping the grip of its maker. Cruijff himself is impossible. Only his ideas will live on.
