ILoveMoonPig Y21 ILoveMoonPig I'm still pro-Stam.
Genuine question, what is it you see in Stam that you want him to continue to manage our club?
Good question! I won't say I'm 100% in, and as I don't go to away games, I'll acknowledge that there are plenty of aspects that I'm not aware of and I'm by no means a good judge of footballing prowess.
But every now and then, we do manage to get a good move together, put in a couple of good passes and some nice movement.
Now that could be just that we have good players or just an artifact of statistics, but I'm hopeful that there is a good, capable team, waiting to get out, we just need that right combination of activity between defense and midfield.
For what it’s worth I am backing Stam because he is a young manager who is probably learning more through the difficult times than the good times of last season.
He’s hugely articulate and speaks much better post match than the majority of managers.
He has vast top level experience and will find a way to make the most of his experience.
Given his name he makes the club more attractive to potential targets.
He has stuck with Reading despite us having a fickle and largely quiet fan base.
He has the support of the board who recognise that sacking a manager is a short term knee jerk action that won’t always bring success.
St.Mirren sacked Ferguson, United didn’t when he was under pressure - - look how that turned out.
Be patient folks and enjoy the fact you aren’t a Leeds or a Forest with a million managers in recent years.
