Jaap Stam sacked
21/03/18
Some breaking news from the Championship here, as Reading announce Jaap Stam has left the club.
Jaap has not wavered in the time, effort and sheer determination he has put in to try to steer the team away from the position we find ourselves in. However, after careful consideration, the decision has been made that a change is now necessary.

Championship club Reading have sacked manager Jaap Stam after a run of just one win in 19 league games.
Wednesday 21st March 2018
Former Manchester United and Netherlands defender Stam, 45, led the club to the Championship play-off final in his first season at the club.
But poor results this term have seen Reading slip to 20th, within three points of the relegation zone.
Saturday's 3-2 defeat by Norwich City left the Royals without a win in their past nine Championship matches.
Stam did not appear for post-match interviews after that defeat at Carrow Road, instead sending out his assistant manager Andries Ulderink.
In a statement from majority shareholders Mr Yongge Dai and Ms Xiu Li Dai, the club said it had "wanted to give Stam every opportunity to turn around what has been a difficult and challenging Championship campaign".
"After careful consideration, the decision has been made that a change is now necessary," it added.
"We will now focus on identifying and recruiting the right person to take the club forward."
Reading gave Stam his first coaching role in English football, the Dutchman having previously been an assistant manager at Ajax.
He signed a new contract running until the end of the 2018-19 season in July after being linked with potential vacancies in the Premier League.
But his departure eight months later leaves the Royals seeking their fifth managerial appointment since Brian McDermott's first spell at the club ended in March 2013.
Reading's next match is on Friday, 30 March against QPR at the Madejski Stadium.

I thought this might have been Gary Rowett for lying.

Shame, he seemed such a pleasant Jaap!

Once again we will be playing a team on a massive downward spiral who will now lift their game for a new manager - aka Birmingham City up there!!

They have to play Villa and Fulham (albeit away) before us so it may work out for us.
