Annette Mosman has declined the invitation to join On 1, the talk show revealed on Wednesday. The member of the Ajax Supervisory Board does not consider it safe enough to go public at this time. Mosman is one of the leaders that the hard core of Ajax would like to see leave.
“We have asked a number of people to join us,” says presenter Carrie ten Napel in the broadcast of On 1. “Annette Mosman, member of the Supervisory Board, did not want to be a guest. She sent an app and gave permission to share that app.” Ten Napel then reads Mosman’s app. “There is a lot to say about this, but to be honest, for my own safety, I cannot now step forward and appear at Op1, for example. This world is bizarre!”
The app that Annette Mosman sent to Op1.
According to Sjoerd Mossou, who joined us On 1 to talk about the situation at Ajax, Mosman’s app is telling. “This shows that it is not just a matter of making a decision to quit, but also being under a lot of pressure.” Earlier in the day, an hour before the remainder of the Classic, Supervisory Board Chairman Pier Eringa honored himself. “It looks like he has succumbed to the pressure from the supporters,” Mossou said.
According to Mossou, the situation at Ajax means that clubs are finding it increasingly difficult to find capable people. “You may wonder how many people still want to work in football in this way,” said the journalist Algemeen Dagblad. “That is of course a problem. There is so much pressure from the media and the public that it is becoming increasingly difficult for clubs to find good people. People are pulling their hands away.”
Frits Barend, also a guest, calls it ‘disgusting’ that Mosman has refrained from inviting her for her safety. On 1. “She should be able to walk around freely everywhere and that’s not possible now. It’s really disgusting.” Barend points to Maurits Hendriks as one of the instigators of the malaise. “Those people need to look in the mirror. He has done well at the NOC*NSF, but in football there are different things to consider. Then you have to draw your conclusions.”
