tickets, etc.) dekken niet alle kosten.</p><p><strong>Gat 2 &#8212; afschrijvingen op transfersommen</strong></p><p>De kosten van eerdere aankopen die jaarlijks terugkomen.</p><p>Ooit ging het verhaal dat Ajax elk jaar een begrotingsgat had van ~&#8364;100 miljoen:</p><ul><li><p>~&#8364;50 miljoen salarissen (Champions League-begroting)</p></li><li><p>~&#8364;50 miljoen afschrijvingen</p></li></ul><p>Dat beeld klopt nog steeds in de kern, maar is inmiddels iets verschoven:</p><ul><li><p>Afschrijvingen: ~&#8364;40 miljoen</p></li><li><p>Salarissen: nog steeds het

De potjes worden elk seizoen vrijwel volledig gevuld en Ajax houdt geen ruimte over.</p><p>Buiten de spelers om liggen de inkomsten en uitgaven redelijk vast. Net als de startpremies van het Europese toernooi: de garandeerde inkomsten. Daarop kan gebouwd/gebudgetteerd worden.</p><p>Qua spelers, zijn voor het aankomende seizoen de enige &#8216;automatische&#8217; veranderingen:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Wout Weghorst</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Oleksandr Zinchenko </strong><em>(<a href="https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/p/zinchenko-ligt-eruit-wie-betaalt?r=2fs6bx&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">lees meer over de financi&#235;le afhandeling hiervan</a>)</em></p></li><li><p><strong>Takehiro Tomiyasu</strong></p></li></ul><p>&#8230;door hun aflopende contracten, die mogelijk daarvoor alsnog verlengd worden.

De halfjaarcijfers per 31 december 2025 lijken op dat laatste punt goed nieuws te brengen. Hoge omzet, flinke winst en een gegroeid eigen vermogen. Maar wie onder de oppervlakte kijkt, ziet iets anders: het lek is nog altijd niet boven. In deze editie van <a href="https://www.ajaxshowtime.com/diepe-zakken">Diepe Zakken</a> wordt er verder gekeken naar waarom er nog geen duurzame verbeteringen te zien zijn en hoe winst beter ingezet had kunnen worden.</strong></p><p>Als het goed gaat met Ajax, lijkt het overal goed te gaan. In de periode-Overmars/Ten Hag was er sportief succes, bestuurlijke rust en financi&#235;le ruimte. Die drie versterken elkaar. Valt er &#233;&#233;n weg, dan trekt het de rest mee. Na het vertrek van Marc Overmars en Erik ten Hag kantelde dat evenwicht. Sportieve prestaties vielen terug, bestuurlijke onrust nam toe en hoge uitgaven werden een probleem.</p><p>Het herstellen van de financi&#235;le balans werd een speerpunt, zelfs vooral voor de t&#233;chnisch directeur Alex Kroes. De jaarcijfers 2024/25 vormden het eerste meetmoment. Het resultaat viel tegen: een recordverlies. De begroting was nog altijd alleen sluitend met Champions League-deelname. De transferopbrengsten waren de laagste in vijftien jaar en de salariskosten historisch hoog, op &#233;&#233;n seizoen na de hoogste ooit.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Ajax Financials is a reader-supported publication.

De halfjaarcijfers laten zien dat er winst is geboekt. Maar structureel is het beeld vrijwel hetzelfde: het is nog altijd een Champions League-begroting, waar ook nog eens uitgegaan wordt van elk jaar een grote transferklapper. Eigenlijk structureel verliesmakend, incidenteel winstgevend. De hoofdoorzaak? De structureel hoge salarispost, en die blijkt zelfs verder te zijn gestegen.</p><p><em>Tekst gaat verder onder de foto.</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp" width="1456" height="971" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:971,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;ajax-directie-menno-geelen-alex-kroes-marijn-beuker&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="ajax-directie-menno-geelen-alex-kroes-marijn-beuker" title="ajax-directie-menno-geelen-alex-kroes-marijn-beuker" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8xNN!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F512e1213-c67c-4060-928d-8bd03b07a060_1488x992.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption"><em>Alex Kroes beloofde verbetering. De halfjaarcijfers laten zien dat er winst is geboekt.</em></figcaption></figure></div><h2><strong>De salarispost: het echte lek</strong></h2><p>Dat is opvallend. Afgelopen zomer nam Ajax afscheid van meerdere grootverdieners. Jordan Henderson had een uitzonderlijk salaris, maar ook Bryan Brobbey, Jorrel Hato en Bertrand Traor&#233; zaten in de categorie meerdere miljoenen per jaar. Daarnaast drukten zware Champions League-bonusconstructies uit eerdere contracten op de loonsom: van Owen Wijndal tot de &#8220;Mislintat-aankopen&#8221;.</p><p>In de media werd gesproken over circa 20 miljoen euro aan gereduceerde salariskosten. Bovendien gaf Kroes op de AVA aan dat ook de personeelskosten buiten de selectie waren gedaald.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Waarom stijgt het totaal dan toch?</p><h2><strong>De verklaring is driedelig:</strong></h2><p><strong>1. Nieuwe aankopen met hoog basissalaris</strong></p><p>Spelers als Ko Itakura, Kasper Dolberg en Oscar Gloukh zijn geen ontwikkelingsspelers, maar gevestigde internationals. Zij behoren vrijwel zeker direct tot de bestbetaalden binnen de selectie. Dat is structureel.</p><p><strong>2. Champions League-bonussen</strong></p><p>Tot vorig seizoen waren bonussen grotendeels gekoppeld aan CL-deelname. Zonder CL: beperkte bonus. M&#233;t CL: 25-35 % extra. Vorig seizoen bedroeg het bonusdeel 3,4 miljoen euro (4,1%) op een totale salarissom van 67,3 miljoen. Dit seizoen zijn die bonussen w&#233;l uitgekeerd, zowel aan oude contracten als aan nieuwe.</p><p><strong>3. Verhuurde spelers</strong></p><p>Niet alle salarissen van verhuurde spelers worden volledig overgenomen. Dat betekent dat de kosten deels blijven doorlopen. Kijk je vooruit naar komende zomer, dan verdwijnen deze factoren niet vanzelf. Sterker nog: meerdere huurspelers keren terug.</p><p>De conclusie is helder: het probleem is niet incidenteel, maar structureel.</p><h2><strong>Ajax als inkomstenmachine</strong></h2><p>Om ook het positieve te benoemen: Ajax blijft een inkomstenmachine. Commerci&#235;le inkomsten groeien, net als wedstrijddaginkomsten. De halfjaaromzet is de hoogste ooit en alles wijst erop dat de club voor het eerst de grens van 200 miljoen euro jaaromzet gaat doorbreken.</p><p class="button-wrapper"

stijgen.</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>Partnershipinkomsten stijgen, merchandiseverkopen trekken weer aan en business seats en skyboxen leveren jaarlijks meer op. Daardoor kunnen prijsstijgingen voor seizoenkaarten relatief beperkt blijven.</p><p>Ajax heeft inmiddels een Europese inkomstenstructuur. Maar het kostenpatroon past daar nog niet bij, ondanks een lichte daling van de andere kosten dan personeelskosten. In vergelijking met PSV en Feyenoord is Ajax minder afhankelijk van Europese premies. Dat is een sterke uitgangspositie. Maar alleen als de kosten beheersbaar zijn, en daar wringt het.</p><h2><strong>Waarom de winst Ajax geen ruimte geeft</strong></h2><p>De halfjaarcijfers mogen niet simpelweg worden verdubbeld om tot resultaten over het gehele boekjaar te komen. In de eerste seizoenshelft valt de bulk van de Europese premies. De tweede helft is daardoor zwakker qua opbrengsten.</p><p>De uitgaven lopen daarentegen grotendeels door. Alleen wanneer in januari daadwerkelijk substantieel op salarissen is bespaard, kan het operationele beeld verbeteren. Dat lijkt deels het geval, maar een structurele operationele winst is onwaarschijnlijk.

Niet fundamenteel.</p><h2><strong>De transferillusie</strong></h2><p>Deze halfjaarcijfers zijn opgesteld v&#243;&#243;r de wintertransferperiode. Ajax wist dus dat het structureel te hoge kosten had, maar ook dat er winst geboekt zou worden. Daar zit precies de tweestrijd die elke transferperiode terugkomt. Eerst voorzichtig. Dan een meevaller. Dan toch investeren. Daarna teleurstelling. En vervolgens opnieuw beginnen.</p><p>De clubleiding weet dat de verkoop van overbodige spelers prioriteit moet hebben. Tegelijk is er druk om de selectie te versterken. Zodra er winst in zicht komt, sluipt de gedachte binnen: &#8220;Moeten we dit dan niet gebruiken voor een aankoop?&#8221;</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Garanties zijn echter niet te koop in het voetbal. Aankopen kunnen tegenvallen om allerlei redenen, prestaties blijven uit en de cyclus herhaalt zich. Precies wat er afgelopen zomer, winter &#233;n mogelijk ook aankomende zomer te zien was of gaat zijn.</p><h2><strong>Durven verliezen om te winnen</strong></h2><p>Wil Ajax deze cyclus doorbreken, dan moet winst anders worden ingezet. Niet om m&#233;&#233;r te kopen, maar om verlies te nemen op het afbouwen van de selectie.</p><ul><li><p>Promoveert Ipswich Town niet, maar wil het Chuba Akpom voor minder dan 8 miljoen euro overnemen? Doen.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Wil Lille Branco van den Boomen, maar niet tegen hoofdprijs? Doen.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Wil Owen Wijndal nergens heen? Waarom niet ontbinden?</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Wil Steven Berghuis verlengen? Alleen tegen salarisverlaging of anders laten vertrekken.</p></li></ul><p>Dat kost geld. Het betekent verlies nemen. Maar d&#225;t is verstandig beleid. Met een eigen vermogen van meer dan 200 miljoen euro is er ruimte om structureel te saneren. Niet elk seizoen balanceren tussen verkopen en aankopen, maar eenmalig door de zure appel heen. Per seizoen bijsturen zonder structurele ingreep is vlees noch vis.</p><h2><strong>Het eigen vermogen is geen trofee</strong></h2><p>&#8220;Er zijn consequenties als je niet presteert,&#8221; zei Jordi Cruijff onlangs. Dat principe moet ook gaan gelden voor de club zelf. Als trainers (en spelers) mogen vertrekken wanneer ze niet presteren, dan geldt dat ook voor beleid dat financieel niet werkt.</p><p>Het wordt tijd dat Ajax dat principe ook op zichzelf toepast en kiest voor een echte herstart in plaats van een tijdelijke winst. Van nutteloze winst naar nuttig verlies.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wat kost een Ajax-trainer?

De gemiddelde kosten per staflid lagen het hoogst in de laatste twee jaren van Ten Hag.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Na vorig seizoen klonk nadrukkelijk het signaal dat Ajax de <strong>stafkosten wilde verlagen</strong>. De keuze voor een <strong>relatief goedkope oplossing</strong> <strong>met Heitinga</strong> paste in dat kader. Sportief bleek dat een misrekening. De <strong>ontslagvergoeding</strong> die volgde, maakte de beoogde besparing grotendeels ongedaan.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.ajaxfinancials.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Daar tegenover staat een andere ontwikkeling. Jordi Cruijff heeft bij Jong Ajax een volledige staf neergezet/toegevoegd met onder anderen <strong>Oscar Garc&#237;a</strong>. Dat is geen bezuinigingsoperatie, maar een investering in kwaliteit en structuur.</p><p>Ajax lijkt dus niet primair te snijden in staf, maar eerder selectief te investeren waar men structurele winst verwacht.</p><div><hr></div><h2><strong>De trainer als &#8216;multiplier&#8217; en toch wordt er zelden extreem betaald</strong></h2><p>Een hoofdtrainer komt uit <strong>hetzelfde personeelsbudget</strong> als de spelers. Elk extra miljoen voor de coach is in theorie een miljoen minder voor de selectie. Maar het omgekeerde kan ook waar zijn: een betere trainer kan spelers beter maken, transferwaarde verhogen en met dezelfde selectie betere resultaten boeken.</p><div

Spelers scoren goals, trainers niet. Spelers hebben een marktwaarde, trainers niet. Bovendien is het ontslagrisico bij trainers structureel hoog.

Jordi Cruijff werd de <strong>directeur met het hoogste (basis)salaris ooit</strong> bij Ajax. Dat is een bewuste keuze geweest: investeren in bestuurlijke kwaliteit en internationale zwaarte. Dat laat zien dat Ajax niet principieel allergisch is voor een premium, mits men overtuigd is van de toegevoegde waarde.</p><p>De vraag is dus niet of Ajax k&#225;n investeren.

De club is geen Premier League-grootmacht, maar ook geen middenmoter. Financieel is Ajax eerder vergelijkbaar met Benfica, Porto, Lazio, Marseille of Leverkusen.
