This is, quite obviously, a pretty freaking awesome development. I'll try to track down the press conference in question and the quotes from it. I assume that the major media outlets in attendance will actually have stories up with quotes from Verthongen shortly. Most likely, we'll hear the story in Dutch first.

Everybody go celebrate. I command you.

EDIT: LOL I hate the internet you guys

Don't believe everything the press writes. Nothing is confirmed. Still player of #Ajax
