The Ajax members' council have called on the five-man board to resign following a dispute which had Dutch legend Cruyff at its centre. Ajax announced the outcome of the members' council meeting on their official website. A rift between Cruyff, a former player and manager at Ajax, and his four fellow supervisory board members had caused off-field disharmony at the Amsterdam club. Cruyff will now be expected to make way, together with Edgar Davids, Steven ten Have, Paul Romer and Marjan Olfers, after the powerful council gave the supervisory board a vote of no confidence. Cruyff said that he and 10 club coaches would take legal action over the appointments of former manager Louis van Gaal, Danny Blind and Martin Sturkenboom as directors of Ajax. Cruyff claims he was not consulted by his board colleagues over the appointments.
