Wim Jonk: “I was tense this morning. If you don’t have to lie, you can speak from the heart. That’s what Johan Cruijff said to me. What is currently happening feels like deja vu to me. There used to be people in the village lies are spoken about me. It is suggested about me: he pockets 500,000 euros.”
A little later Jonk becomes angry: “This kind of manipulation makes me angry. For three years I was one of the least paid coaches in the KKD. Kohler is the least paid trainer in the Premier League. We do it for the passion. I don’t like victimhood. But we are being damaged on all sides. This affects my reputation. This affects me personally. About everything I have done for this club.”
“It ends in a very annoying power game. My dream is now in tatters. We were well on our way to developing this club. The Supervisory Board wanted to get rid of us so badly that they used our statement as a kind of cudgel to get rid of us “I don’t think in terms of power, I think in terms of football. I don’t just walk away, I don’t just abandon things,” said Jonk.
