Frank de Boer needs patience from Crystal Palace as he looks to get his philosophy across to the squad, but will know he is on borrowed time, according to fellow Dutchman and Reading boss Jaap Stam.
The former Ajax and Inter Milan head coach was only appointed to the Selhurst Park dugout during the summer, but after starting the new campaign by losing all three Premier League games, De Boer has found his future already under the spotlight.
Should the Eagles get beaten again when domestic action resumes at Burnley on Sunday, then it has been suggested De Boer, who has tried to implement a new system with three at the back, could be shown the exit door.
