CONFIRMED Slaviša Jokanović

[ShockingBadBuy]

Och aye

It's like Berti McVogts. He's a Scottish national so we don't need to worry about right to work problems.

Can I be the first to say, "Welcome, Sweaty".

PA is only able to get the best person who is available and interested and he's achieved that.
I expected a 'cheap' or inexperienced, possibly lower league manager as well.
Credit where it's due.

Who was that?

Can’t recall his name now, but would have got us into Europe last season if it wasn’t for the fixture congestion and subsequent sterile stadia issues caused by Covid.

 

[billyblademan]

For fucks sake, I’m starting to think Karl Robinson will never be our manager.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Glyn Hodges left foot is like Sunjihi but better

 

[WhoDatBlade]

 

[Grumps]

When Wilder left, the club released a statement saying that Heckinbottom would take charge until the end of the season. The season ended 4 days ago (FOUR). What could, or should they have done differently?

And your point is?

There's loads of photos of any high profile manager, but this one stands out for me with Jokanovic. The look in those eyes, I wouldn't mess with him! The focus in his eyes, I think you can tell a lot about a managers face. It's not just about seeing a manager pulling a serious face, I think that Jokanovic will command instant respect from the players with track record and his persona. Can't wait! Our first foreign manager also of course. One big concern for me with Jokanovic is how we're gonna sing we're on the march with Jokanovic's army?! Wagner would have worked better in that respect! ;-).

All aboard Big Slav’s HMS Piss The League.

Ah yes, I think I know who you mean.....after a great start when he could do no wrong he started to make some baffling decisions along the way, threw the tactics board out the window and resorted to hoof, then guided the team to the worst EPL start in history before throwing in the towel......that the guy?

But hey, that's history.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

And your point is?

Trying looking for these little fellas "?", they'll give you a clue.

[ben1987]

Easily the best option in my opinion and won’t have been the cheap option either.

experience getting promotions out of the championship.
Known for playing slick, attractive and attacking football.

there’s nothing not to like about this (potential) appointment.

if it happens - a massive well done to the Prince and the board. Fair play.

A re boot of the Rotterdam/Wilder song works though......

We had two years in the Premier League
Then Chrissy Wilder went home
Slav came here and our hopes were up
But then re-signed Matt Done
Then re-signed Matt Done

 

[KoppedOff]

Doesn’t take ‘em long, does it...

 

[Snowflake]

At least appointing this guy cuts out all the futile expectation of glory that we had under the last bloke.

So just normal expectation of glory ?

 

[Yogi]

Didzy calls for a strong character as manager would appear to have been answered

 

[Davalon]

I'm going early.

Well done PA and the board. I'm delighted with this appointment and it allays my fears of next season being attempted on the cheap as some were suggesting.

Time to move on and get behind Slav and the players.

If you want to dwell on the previous manager, feel free to follow him to his next club.

UTB.

 

[mattbianco1]

And your point is?

We said Heck till the end of the season. If we announced Jok tomorrow lets say, that's 5 days later.

I'm just interested to know how you would have handled this differently?

 

[Jon Bon II]

love this gif every time i see it

This is my favourite version.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

In the words of Gareth Cheeseman.. “A wank, I think”.

 

[diode_blade]

Gone to Villa.

Naaa they have got it all wrong, Slavs' gone to pigs and we have got Moore in exchange, + nannaman

Spoilsport - we love the waiting!

 

[Yogi]

It’ll be a departure from what we’ve seen before and will probably usher in a new way of working as a club. However it could be a very exciting period especially if this summers recruitment is nailed because I love jokanovic’s Fulham side and would be over the moon if we got anything like that at the lane.

 

[Scarebus]

When this thread inevitably gets bumped to GBC, can we correct the spelling of Slavs name? It's been testing me for a while now

You well know that’s not the way it works if their name isn’t misspelt do united really employ them?
