René van der Gijp thinks it is outrageous that PSV has put John de Jong on the street, the analyst says on Friday evening. Today Inside. The Supervisory Board indicated that there was a unanimous breach of confidence within PSV about De Jong’s performance. Van der Gijp finds that decision extremely strange.
Van der Gijp does not understand what they are doing in Eindhoven. “Isn’t it very childish of PSV to dismiss John de Jong? as if he Goddamnit everything decided at PSV? Come on, he’s just being victimized Johan.” Colleague Johan Derksen agrees with Van der Gijp. “He first had to listen to that German (Roger Schmidt, ed.), and now Marcel Brands is in charge.”
Van der Gijp thinks that the commissioners at PSV should have been clearer against De Jong. “If you think that one, but preferably two players should be sold, then you tell him. Because in England they are completely behind at the moment, they have completely lost their way there. If there is an offer for those two hundred million, get rid of it!” Is he referring to Cody Gakpo and Ibrahim Sangaré.
Frank Arnesen not first option for PSV
Where it was reported on Friday that PSV would go for Frank Arnesen as the successor of John de Jong, it comes Eindhovens Dagblad a day later with other news. Sources within the club do not expect the Dane to actually come to Eindhoven to take up a position at PSV again. Between 1994 and 2004, Arnesen was already technical director at the Brabantse Club, but at the moment he has not yet been approached to succeed De Jong.
