THE HAGUE Cheap Air Force 1 Low UK , Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Five years after the start of his so-called "revolution", Johan Cruijff stopped as advisor of Dutch soccer club Ajax, the club legend expressed on Monday in Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. Cruijff, who has been diagnosed with lung cancer last month, stated his dissatisfaction with the implementation of the so-called "Plan Cruijff". "For years Cheap Air Force 1 High Womens UK , I have noted that the core of my vision is not carried out at Ajax," the 68-year-old former player told in his column in De Telegraaf. Reacting to the weak performances of Ajax in the Champions League Cruijff called for radical changes within the club in September 2010. He wanted to see more former players working as trainers, coaches, managers and directors. One of the goals of the "revolution" of Cruijff was to develop the best youth academy in the world and to get closer to the European top. After coach Martin Jol was replaced by former player Frank de Boer in December that year Ajax became champions four times in row. However, the results in Europe remained weak and there also was criticism on the boring style of play. Outside the pitch the atmosphere at Ajax was anything but clear and calm. One of the low points was the appointment of Louis van Gaal as general director by four members of the supervisory board in 2011. The decision was taken without the consent of the fifth member Cheap Air Force 1 High Mens UK , at that time Cruijff, long-time rival of Van Gaal, and was ultimately disapproved by the court. A so-called technical heart, or center, was established to ensure that Ajax would make further steps on the field. This board consisted of the director of football affairs Marc Overmars Cheap Air Force 1 High UK , the head of youth development Wim Jonk, head coach Frank de Boer and assistant coach Dennis Bergkamp, all former players, according to Cruijff's wishes. Major communication problems and different visions led to problems within the technical heart in 2015. Jonk refused to talk to the other members for a year, because he wanted to see a clear division of responsibilities first. He felt a loner as representative of the youth Cheap Air Force 1 Flyknit Low Womens UK , opposed to the others representing the interests of the first team. The main difference in vision: Jonk wanted less signings and more room for youth players. To solve the problems and to get all technical heart members back to the table former goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, who is supposed to be the next general manager, was appointed chairman of the technical heart in September, but this didn't change the broken relationship between Jonk and the others. Last week Ajax announced the intention to terminate the collaboration with Jonk. There is, according to the Ajax board Cheap Air Force 1 Flyknit Low Mens UK , a irreconcilable disagreement. Jonk afterwards announced to challenge his departure, maybe in court, and went to work as always. On Monday Cruijff expressed his support for Jonk and quit as an adviser. His mission has failed. He leaves the club in chaos and far away from the European top. NEW YORK, March 9 (Xinhua) -- New Yorkers have found a new "apple of their eye" -- a bronze statue of a little girl that appeared in front of Wall Street's famous icon "Charging Bull." The new statue, named "Fearless Girl," was installed by Boston-based investment firm State Street Global Advisors (SSGA) against the backdrop of International Women's Day as a call for more women to serve on corporate boards. "To mark this effort and the power of women in leadership, SSGA has placed a statue of a young girl, representing the future, in the center of the world's financial capital -- right near Wall Street in New York City," the company said in a press release on Tuesday. "A key contributor to effective independent board leadership is diversity of thought, which requires directors with different skills, backgrounds and expertise," said Ron O'Hanley, president and chief executive officer of SSGA. "Today, we are calling on companies to take concrete steps to increase gender diversity on their boards and have issued clear guidance to help them begin to take action," said Ron O'Hanley. The statue measures some 1.3 meters tall and stands just 6 meters across from the Bull. It displays a girl, hands on hips and holding head high, seemingly defiant of the Bull that has dominated the financial center since 1989. Stealing the limelight of the Bull, "Fearless Girl" has attracted many visitors and tourists to stop by, take a picture and post it on social media in a way to display their support for women's role in workplace and society. The statue has a permit to remain for a week, yet SSGA said it is trying to extend it to a month. "Fearless Girl" is the work by Kristen Visbal, a Delaware artist who has created many bronze sculptures, ranging from sport figures to children and animals. ARBIL, Iraq, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- The parliament of the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan on Friday convened for the first time after two years of suspension Cheap Air Force 1 Flyknit Low UK , and is scheduled to discuss referendum on independence of the Kurdish region. "The meeting will discuss the referendum of the Kurdistan region, which will be on Sept. 25, and will respond to the decision made earlier by the Iraqi parliament, which rejected this referendum," said Tariq Jowhar Cheap Air Force 1 Deconstruct UK , media advisor of the parliament, told Xinhua. Jowhar said the session was chaired by the deputy speaker, as Speaker Yousif Mohammed Sadiq did not attend the session since his Gorran Movement is boycotting the session along with the Kurdistan Islamic Group. Another parliamentary bloc, the Assyrian Democratic Movement, which has two seats in the 111-seat parliament Cheap Air Force 1 Black White UK , also boycotts the parliament session because the bloc resists referendum of independence in Nineveh Plain, Ya'qub Gorges, a member of the movement said in a statement. Earlier, the two major Kurdish parties of the Kurdistan Democrat.
