CONFIRMED Slaviša Jokanović

[bornablade]

Done it before.
Plays attacking football.
Looks like he could kill without compunction.

He’ll do for me.

'Looks like he could kill without compucnction'.

It'll all kick off when he comes face to face with Furious George.

 

[Booker4]

No mention of backroom staff yet, hopefully someone he wants not retained from the club, with all due respect to Jason Tindall.

 

[Keen Blade]

This is just what we needed (I bet the ST Renewal site crashes this afternoon) - there is some real basis for hope now.

And a big feather in the Prince's cap - it seems he's serious about taking us forward - that's all the fans need to know and he keeps building our trust.

Well done Blades !

 

[SufcBilly]

Come on then, I'm seeing plenty of "'Over the Moon' 'Best we could do' 'This is great news' etc.etc." but not much Why. Other then getting Fulham and Watford promoted, why should we be excited about this appointment?

Plays attacking exciting football and has took 2 clubs out of the league from similar positions (one of the expected faves) that'll do me

Looks cool as fuck holding an espresso. What more do you want?

See above.

Can the reveal video be him literally kicking John Lundstram out of the building?

Apart from a demonstrated ability to do the one thing we desperately need him to do?

The service you get round here is amazing, it's now even got the little Serbian squiggles

Serbs tend to use Cyrillic (which alphabet you use being one of 3 million politically sensitive topics in former Yugoslavia). I won't rest easy until admin update it to this: Славиша Јокановић

Can't believe they've put blue on the away shirt

red blue and white = Serbia Flag
like the touch if this shirt confirmed

Said on twitter "talks with coaching staff ongoing".

I’m very happy now I’ll have to find something else now to grump about.
Anyway seriously now good banter and some good/bad points. See you all at the lane cheering the blades

Not being funny but getting promoted to the PL happens three times a year. I know it's tough to do, but plenty manage it. What I'm curious about is what make Slav the 'best' of the options available. I've nothing against the appointment, far from it, as the reception to it seems unanimously positive, I just want to know why? What makes him so great?

 

[1066blade]

This is what I've been waiting for.

Good track record and he plays exciting football.

Is there anything more you can want from a manager?

So you’re saying we should be aiming higher than promotion next season? Or...what exactly are you saying?

 

[Farnboroughblade]

Well done PA. He's done his bit, now let us the supporters do ours and make sure we have a sell out of season tickets for the home fans. Let's get the Lane rocking again.

 

[JJBlade]

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic appointment

The last time I was this excited about a managerial appointment was.......errrr Nigel Adkins

 

[Jon Bon II]

I wonder who the really small person sat on the closest chair is.

No wonder they all look bored.

 

[Ron_Justice]

I guess not, no. Maybe I'm looking / asking the wrong questions. Perhaps I need to dig into Fulham and Watford fans opinions. I just remember the overwhelming floods of info - videos, opinions, articles etc. about Wilder when he was appointed that immediately illustrated why he was a good'un. Just looking for the same here I guess.

 

[Houso]

Meanwhile, over with the Baggies...

And...

I'm dreading it being Wilder to be honest. I've seen enough managers up at the Hawthorns playing dour, safety-first football which is Wilder's model. He's been in management too long to change it now.

if only there was someone who appeared with views from after a major event.

Twice

Looks like the Copthorne has had a makeover since lockdown

Slav saying
"Ferk me no way, I've just seen shoutbox....I'm orffff....byeeeee"

 

[Sheffsteel]

Super impressed by this, I can’t fault PA since he’s taken full control, his interview following the skulking out of the back door by Wilder was spot on, and the guy knows his football onions, well done PA, gone for the best available and got his man! can’t wait for next season UTB.

FIRST LOL

Its like deja-vu...
Everyone was saying there’s no way we’ll show ambition to buy Sander Berge...he’s being chased by Napoli...and is hot property.
A few months later....theres no way we’ll sign Brewster...Liverpool want to keep him...he’s rated one of the best young strikers in England.

We show massive ambition by signing both.

12 months later...”same old same old...everyone knew they‘d be crap...money wasted.
Now we have no money and there’s no chance we’ll get Jokanovic....we’ll go for the cheap option...same old same old”

Some our fans hate to hear this but the facts show that PA is the most ambitious owner we’ve ever had.
‘You can gaurantee if we are mid table next season....it will be the same complaints that PA needs to show ambition.
You can bet that a good 80% of posters on Twitter and this forum will say “it was obvious Jokanovic was past it....yet another poor selection”

It'll all kick off when he comes face to face with Furious George.
