Reports from Holland claim the Dutchman has had talks with Royals about becoming the club's new boss. The 43-year-old has most recently been assistant coach with Ajax and is reportedly eyeing up a job in England. Stam has worked before with Royals new technical director Brian Tevreden. Thoughts (if any)?
I liked the bald bloke but i think your owners are like the ones we had 5 years ago when they believed we should be playing in Europe. Yap Spam is a gamble as he has done nothing in English football as a manager and may find it hard. Not sure TBH as he could be gone by Xmas or do Okay. It's a bit of a unknown thing. But one thing i will say is your new owners are a bit weird. I do notice that you are copying QPR again by now going Dutch? What next 3 thick hoops on your kit?
