Following heavy UCL defeat at Chelsea and poor domestic form, Pasveer argued Henderson’s leadership “held everything together” and that his move to Brentford left a void.

Ajax players are reportedly unhappy with sporting director Alex Kroes over Henderson’s free transfer exit, which they viewed as a cost-cutting move that weakened leadership. Henderson has since revived his career at Brentford, where his composure and experience have been crucial in midfield.
Henderson himself suggested he was pushed out at Ajax. His quick adaptation in England has silenced critics, while Ajax’s dressing room harmony has suffered. What looked like simple wage trimming now appears to have cost the Dutch club both stability and authority.
