From Despair To Where? The football fan in me says the team selections, performances and results have not been consistent enough and ultimately the buck stops with the manager. Unless there is drastic improvement, there is a danger of this going off the rails.
The project manager in me says this is a five year project, we are in year 2 and the progress in Year 1 has set expectations high. However, like many development projects, there are setbacks along the way and what is important is the ultimate objective in 5 years. We have given Stam the funding to build the team he feels he needs to reach that goal in the manner that he wants to. Consistency comes from being settled and not changing (Something Stam himself should maybe consider). To discard that at this stage could set us back long term.
At the moment, the project manager in me is winning out but we are approaching a crossroads where we may have to consider if the current direction is the right one.

Ascotexgunner OK after everything I've said I'm gonna do a complete uturn and say IN.......and here's why....
First of all he is a baby and new to management, so his learning curve is vertical.....I'm beginning to think he is showing more flexibility but let's wait until the transfer window opens, if he can find us a new ALF then we may just see a big turnaround in our fortune.

PistolPete 87 people wanted Stam out. 87 people cared nothing for a play off hangover, for all the strikers being injured and the board failing to bring in another during the window, for further key injuries to Evans, Obita, McCleary, Swift and others. They cared nothing that Al-Habsi, the player of the season was sold, or that Reading had overachieved last season.
So, how many of the 87 will hold their hands up and say they've changed their minds?
Or maybe they still think there are better managers out there available and in our price range?!

genome All I will say is, hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Stam was rightly under pressure. He has improved massively since the Forest match.
