CONFIRMED Slaviša Jokanović

[247Blade]

Another opportunity to misuse Callum Robinson.

Maybe do a swap deal with Burke

 

[JayGreen17]

I could see Wilder replacing Warnock at Middlesboro if the West Brom job wasn't an option, actually. Decent chairman, working class club with a bit of history. Usually reasonable resources.

Good call

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Nixon will be all over the Slav signing in 3 weeks time. "Been told it's a done deal"! YHIHF!
Cock.

He said he was no 1 target in March.
I’m not sure that he was at that point but he was first to call it.

 

[Bladey_blade]

Wilder surely got to be in for the Palace job?

If I was palace chairman, a club that teeters close to relegation and watched Wilders carry on this year with his awful signings and persistent resignations and bitching in interviews, along with the on the pitch performance, let's just say he would have to interview VERY well if not perfect to even make a shotlist

I will be surprised if its not Terry or Lampard, can't see them attracting Rafa B, and they don't have a history of left field, relatively unknown (in the UK at the time )managers like Southampton Poch, Hassenhutl

 

[Booker4]

All gone a bit quiet on this front, was hoping Nixon would be all over this or some other quality tabloid!

 

[Farnboroughblade]

Probably Nixon's gone quiet because we've gone quiet on here Booker. We aren't feeding him with much material to write about.

He must not have read the cousin thread yet. Plenty of pukka content in there.

He's said there is noise from the Middle East but SJ is notoriously difficult to pin down to agree.

I’m not sure his behaviour would have endeared him to other PL Chairmen.

I’m sure they talk. I bet a manager who takes the stance ‘my way or the high way’ will go down like a lead balloon with a prospective top flight employer.

Insider tells Sheffield United fans why they can be excited about Jokanovic

The former Fulham and Watford manager has signed a three-year deal at Bramall Lane.

Terms agreed. Announcement of SJ next week, i know this because the Mrs is a football reporter. She knows her shit.

Too right there's noise from the middle east, them Israel's are giving Gaza some proper noise.

Excellent !

Do you really think a Premier club would consider appointing him?
After this season you could understand none of them being at all interested.
I think clubs and their directors/owners/etc are a damn sight more intelligent and knowledgeable of important matters off the pitch which are important to how well a club is run as well matters of finance, etc that all the pundits put together who thought "we shouldn't have sacked him" have no comprehension of let alone how relevant such matters are. Which just goes to show how fucking stupid and gullible so many of these pundits are.
In any event, looking at his transfer record, surely no club are going to give him money to spend like he had at the Lane and are going to want a lot more control over things. Not something I imagine CW would want.
He's more likely to find a team in the Championship. Although I would have thought, should one exist a team who could afford the wages he would accept, in the First Division would be more likely.

Excellent !

who is his assistant going to be?

Slobodan Milosevic

Slobodan Milosevic

Ah, the second in command.

Too right there's noise from the middle east, them Israel's are giving Gaza some proper noise.

It is probably the screaming from the children they are slaughtering.

I thought you said she was int Marketing

 

[Rudders]

We shall see if he measures up. To me there are question marks over the amount of time passed since the Fulham era, the lack of the successful assistant manager and the size of the job. It feels more like a project than a polish up job.
The gung ho attacking style is a definite plus though after the last year of boring negative shite

Whats her name??

We better be quick to get Slav signing...

My worry is that There will be more and more vacancies opening up as the season ends. We had the advantage of being ‘the only gig going’ for 2/3months.

Parker looking likely to leave also. Hodgeson retiring. Suddenly people have more options than before. So I’m hoping we don’t fumble this appointment at the last second and get left with the managerial dregs

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Be the most blades thing to do, had months to sort Jokanivic out and for us to lose him to a rival.

I think Wilder to West Brom is a no brainer for them. Appleton or Wilder? Wilder! Slav or Wilder? Wilder. Why? Wilder's available, as is Slav, but I think we've sown up the Slav deal, or very close to it. West Brom may may a late approach but I can't see what they can offer over us, maybe a bigger transfer budget but they'll lose Periera and so much of their good play comes from him. We'll loose Berge of course, who is no where near as important to us as Periera is to them.

 

[billyblademan]

Baggies fans are under the impression it's Wilder. That will add some intrigue if we're both at the top end of the table!

 

[bertieblade]

They approached Wilder on two previous occasions it us nailed on to be him unless the events of this season have changed their minds

 

[ChappyAppleBlade]

Let's see which CW turns to the Hawthorns, the hungry, down to earth, forward thinker, who isn't scared of anyone or the moaning, "can't compete with these", arrogant shell of a man who despite several statements to never do, slinked out the back door of BL.

Whichever it is, I hope we absolutely paste them, home, away and in both cups.

 

[Mouth of the South]

WBA would be a big and not easy job given the current reliance on loans this season. Add to that the likelihood of Pereira leaving and the remaining squad is arguably worse than Utd's. It would certainly require some significant investment to turn them into promotion contenders IMHO.

I think it would be a fairly safe bet to say AK will join him and possibly Matt Prestridge - it will be interesting to see whether anyone else goes, especially Paul Mitchell.
