Going into the most recent international break, Ajax sat 16th in the Eredivisie, taking up the relegation play-off spot in the Dutch topflight. A side that just four years ago made it to the cusp of a Champions League final and has boasted some of the best recruitment in Europe over the last decade, Ajax should be relegation-proof in a league they have dominated for large parts of their history.

With just one win and five points from their opening six games, they have endured their worst start to a league season since 1964-65, when they finished 13th, the only time they have finished below 6th since the Eredivisie was founded in 1956. To those who haven’t been following the Amsterdam club closely over the last year, this will have come as a shock, while relations between the club and the fans has hit a low, with their derby against Feyenoord abandoned in September due to hooliganism, after which riot police had to intervene as fans smashed glass doors in an attempt to re-enter the stadium.

So what has led to this point? And who is to blame? On today’s FD Explained, we’re heading to the Johan Cruyff Arena.
