Alan Pardew returns to management as he is unveiled as the new boss of Dutch side ADO Den Haag, with Chris Powell joining him as his assistant

He might be shocked if he finds out with which squad he has to work. ADO's team is really terrible this season. If they lose their next game they will even be last in the league.

[Greyn]

This looks like a beginning of total domination by Ajax in the Dutch domestic football. I guess it is mainly thanks to huge CL money that Ajax grabbed recently.

Quite interesting to see if PSV will be able to catch AZ in the race for 2nd place. Still many matchdays to go, but let's not forget about Willem II between these two. I don't remember a season when this club was so high in the top tier.

Feyenoord struggling as usual, that single championship title was probably only an exception for this rule.

[seso]

Also Jong Ajax leading the Eerste Divisie and doing much better than Jong Utrecht, Jong AZ and Jong PSV.

Good management I would say. Well planned combination of achieving great results and making big money (by selling top young players) in the same time.
