Next Blades Manager: Slavisa Jokanovic vs Alexander Blessin

[YorkBlade]

A short breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of both Jokanovic and Blessin, the bookies favourites. I expect an announcement before the end of season on one of these.

• Who are they?
• How experienced are they?
• What style of football do they play?

[Oreyt]

Both look like someone Liam Neeson would throw off a building for sex trafficking if I'm honest.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Do you cover how we’re going to get Blessin able to work in this country?

I guess there's only one way to find out

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

I guess there's only one way to find out

Oh do I have to?
I do really want to know as no one has managed to explain it to me as yet.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

......or are the pair of them a smokescreen?

Considering all the press reports about the two of them and the Prince saying "Our new manager was watching the game on Saturday", perhaps it's neither and the prince and his closest advisors have pulled a fast one.

I reckon we'll all be surprised when the incumbent is unveiled.

Ian Cumbent’s odds are now tumbling.

Ian Cumbent’s odds are now tumbling.

I've heard Ian Sitchoo has already been installed.

 

[TheDevonBlade]

I can’t find Ian Cumbent listed in the odds. ... who is he ?

Prince’s mate, Al-redi Attklubb, as low as 3-1 on exchanges.

Cheap option. YHIHF.

Worrying thing is that they'd probably land on me.

Let us hope, very pleasantly surprised.

I hope to God it is not: Heckingbottom; Tindall; Terry; or .............. !

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Enjoyed the video and very well presented as ever. Going to start watching more the Sheff Utd Way stuff in the future as not seen much before. Mind you, I thought the interview with Dean Hammond didn't clear up why he signed to stay on, on a longer contract knowing he wasn't wanted? That didn't seem to be clarified from memory from the interview with him. Just been honest, or have I missed something?!

But back to Jok or Blessin, I'm inclined to agree that as much as Jok is the standout candidate, Blessin seems more exciting. I'd be happy with both mind.

Hammond was offered a full time permanent contract by Adkins when he signed on loan for when the loan ended. He signed it and was paid off when Wilder came in. We did ask him about this but didn't press him as the reason he signed it was a) anyone would and b) he was going through some personal stuff at the time and didn't want that airing in the public domain, suffice to say he was worried about his financial future. As it turned out this was with good reason as he hasn't ever found another club.

 

[Snowflake]

where’s this?

On tele in LA ?

 

[tridellaswasclass]

No names named, but I reckon a left field choice, possibly from the lower leagues, is IANEVATTable.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

John Terry is going somewhere (IMHO). he apparently turned down Bristol City, but he'll be off somewhere.

I for one are not ruling out John Terry.

He is 38 now so I don’t suppose he’ll ever get another job or will have expected to get another job with a PL or EFL club. He had signed for Worthing in early March 2020 but their league was suspended due to Covid.
