They have been woeful this season that is for sure and he failed to improve them at all after a good season prior.

Quite a surprise considering what he's done. I've seen several messages from Reading fans along these line:

Hope Jaap Stam will be remembered as the man that came into a club going nowhere with no plan, revolutionised the style and took us to within two penalty kicks of the Premier League ALL in less than 12 months.
Remarkable achievement that won’t be forgotten 👏

It has already been forgotten, he has taken them to the brink of relegation which is an equally remarkable achievement given where they were a year ago.

Never understood this never ending love some folks think managers deserve

They were incredibly dull last season even at home and fans weren't to pleased with it, but at least they were winning last season, now they can't manage that.

Sh!t club, sh!t fans, sh!t manager.

Agree........but shortly after he brought Dave

It’s not surprise that the dinosaurs 🦕 still try to excuse their god

#thanksforthedosh

How much did they pay for him? Was it a million?

Fantastic business when you consider Saiss cost 3 million and is 100 times the player.

Surely one of the greatest sales we’ve had to date.......oh wait, £3 Mil for Dicko has to eclipse that yes ?

Was it 3, surely not ?

Dave and Misso = £4 Mil

Is there a more inoffensive club than Reading? They must be one of very few teams who don't have some sort of local rivalry/derby match.

They 'hate' Oxford I think but hardly a rivalry and i think Oxford have more issue with Swindon.

Remember Robert Maxwell and his Thames Valley Royals idea?

That proposal certainly poked the fire a little down in leafy Berkshire.

The traditional rivals of Reading are Aldershot but that died a death really when they dropped out of the league

They had a run of always beating us, plus they're a no history meaningless nothing club

Looks like Alf is playing CB today if the line up is correct on flashscore?!
