Stam to be sacked?

[AthleticoSpizz]

Jeez, calm down

Get Jaap to sort this sh1t out...

[TiagoIlori]

Dutch media now reporting he hasn’t been sacked, almost like there’s no change in what’s happened. Fun whilst it lasted

Not being funny but how d'fuq would they know?

[Berry]

Even if it’s true way to late. The damage has been done. No one can save us, such is the mess we are in. We will be relegated come May.

We are doomed laddie.....

Dutch media have an interest in Stam, and it’s quite obvious given the media attention we were given during our Dutch pre season trip. Dutch media also broke the news about Stam being in talks the Reading job and accurately said how the staff were in talks over a new contract(https://twitter.com/talkreading/status/ ... 8287204356). I’d happily believe them over the daily mail or the sun

Reading Update: English news about announced resignation Jaap Stam is not correct. Selection did not train today, that's right, but was because of extra free days. clear that Reading (Weggezakt to 18th place) should start performing again

[ILoveMoonPig]

I'm actually still on his side, though I must admit, it is getting hard to find enthusiasm. I like him as a bloke and you just know, he'll go to some league 1 club and in two years time, beat us in a championship playoff game.

I do enjoy cheering on the team when nearly everyone has left. Anyone turning up for the last 5 minutes on Saturday would have thought it was a league cup (or whatever it's called now) replay, so empty were the stands and uncaring the atmosphere.

Dark days, undoubtedly, but it feels horrible when everyone around me starts turning on the team. Yeah, they're playing crap and making below-average teams look good, but they're just blokes earning a living.

"Lads you played really well today, you deserve the day off."

Another classic from Jaap Stam's book of "management".

How about, "lads, you are a oxf*rd shambles. Take a day, get your heads out your arses and then bring it so we can turn this round."

[Jackson Corner]

Jap Stam had a dream to build a football team, he had no money so he had to sign them for free.
We are shit at the back, Score f...k all in attack.
Any day now, he should get the sack.

What has Stam got to do, to get the sack? Leeds have sacked their manager tonight!

[strap]

Has he gone yet?

Don’t fret, Stam will be on his way to Leeds overnight. “Sorry I demanded £3m a season in the summer, i’ll take £2m a year and promise to get you out of this division in 3 years”

(Except Leeds are looking at an Englishman to take over).

Do you seriously feel the players are “earning” their multi-thousand pounds per week wages?!?! Because I for one certainly don’t!

Nah, I like my version better. It fits my narrative more. Thanks for the input though Ian.

Presumably you're consistently on top of your game when you turn up for work then, strap?

Or if you have a shit day, you come home and think "yeah, I didn't earn my money today. I'm glad my customers abused me"

Maybe that is what we were waiting for, an opportunity for him to leave to go to a bigger club.... Leeds it is!

Actually I am consistently pretty good otherwise my clients wouldn’t reengage me. Somewhat different to being utter shite for 6 months and treating the paying customers with contempt. Everyone can have a bad day at the office. If you or I had a bad 6 months we’d be out in our ears with little or no compo. Or do you work in ‘public service’ and have no worries about being a total tool at work?

[Hound]

Few rumours knocking around about Him still being on Leeds shortlist

Happy for it to stay this way just to piss of the Leeds fans for a while

And don’t think stam is going anywhere anytime soon. Not sure it’d be especially helpful at the moment and would be cheaper to sack in the summer and more chance of getting a decent replacement in. Wouldn’t be upset if he did get the boot though

[Coppells Lost Coat]

If we are serious about getting out the rut we are in. We should be looking at backroom staff, new training methods not just a replacement of JS. .I can see his training methods of just repetitive boring keep ball training drills. Players look so bored with it all. I personally have lost faith in him, I only want him to turn it around, not for his sake but for the club.
Also on a side note, if we are crap at keep ball possession tactics surely only training against ourselves is a lil counter productive???
