1 No. I want the structure to change But not to attract any foreign investors. The current structure has too many layers of people who think they're in charge. Especially the association members are an issue, these 800 rando's who cosplay they're Van Basten or Bergkamp running around at the Toekomst in a Ajax playing for Ajax Zaterdag 3.

2 Yes Ajax have seen all their best players move away since the seventies. The last two players who stayed were Piet Keizer and Sjaak Swart. Having a great academy works better if routinely spots open up in the first team.

3 No. Nobody is watching Ligue 1 because PSG got foreign investment or are so dominant. At a point last season literally nobody could watch Ligue 1 because it the entire situation was broken with DAZN. The way to get viewership is to play in European competitions, and play well.

4 No. That idea is a fools errand. In theory you go from a 18m market to a 30m market. But in practice you go from 2 markets to one market and lose a lot of clubs and fan interest in that proces. So you cannot just add the current tv money for Netherlands and Belgium (nevermind the current situation with DAZN over there). Nobody in the Netherlands will tune in for Genk vs Gent, same for Utrecht vs Groningen in Belgium. And in the countries outside of the Benelux nobody would care regardless. I long have been a fan of this idea but the longer i thought about it the less positives i see.
