I'm not sure there is one. Both clubs having a Jewish heritage (I think Ajax do, anyway). Is that enough for a "connection" though?
You might as well say that Notre Dame & Glasgow Celtic have a connection, at that rate.
Fair enough to say though (if I'm right about Ajax heritage, this is) that having a shared heritage makes it easier to do business. That's human nature, after all. There again Barcelona are presumably Catholic and they'd have far stronger links with Ajax, I would suggest.
I appreciate the Jewish connection(no sure what Ajax opinion of it sis though) but i wouldn't say that is grounds for Spurs hiring De Boer like has been suggested.
Spurs seem to have a habit of hiring the next 'big thing' such as Ramos, Santini, AVB with not very good results. De Boer, if offered, would be wise to steer clear
