    It was so painfully obvious. It’s a shame that we’re right, it would’ve been better had Steijn been a success.

      Didn’t fans, back then, say that if you turned out to be right later, it had to be just a lucky guess.
      It felt like on reddit, people desperately wanted to be the ‘‘sensible’’ type of fans, so they refused to judge Steijn, cause his job wasn’t easy.

      It didn’t take long till every support for Steijn just ended up being a fallacy. ‘‘Fans expect Ajax to play like prime-Barcelona after the coach’s first week!’’, ‘‘They’re are so many new players and you expect them to play like they did in the 70s?’’, ‘‘So you think this is all 100% Steijn’s fault?’’

      I think, in the end, Steijn’s supporters were thinking more in black-and-white than the fans they accused of doing that.
