As Sarah wrote some time ago, right before every home match starts the FC Twente supporters sing the You’ll Never Walk Alone from Gerry & The Pacemakers. What the supporters mean to convey is that they will support their team no matter what; in good times and, perhaps especially, in bad times. The past weeks have shown that that was a lie. The vocal supporters of the FC Twente crowd, often referred to as ‘Vak-P‘, named after a stand in the previous stadium, are what one may describe as “fair weather fans“.

Ronald Koeman is Right
The past days, some commotion has been caused by Ronald Koeman, trainer of Feyenoord, who benched his player Kelvin Leerdam. Leerdam still has a contract with Feyenoord until the end of the (football) year, and refuses to sign another contract. Feyenoord thus risks losing him without receiving a sum of money. Koeman therefore decided to not let him play anymore for the first team, despite his qualities as a football player, which otherwise would have earned him a spot in the first squad.
