CONFIRMED Slaviša Jokanović

[PokerBlade]

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?

Good pedigree as a player, doesn't always translate into management but has experience of winning La Liga and playing in the World Cup. As a manager he's succeeded at several clubs around the world but Fulham and Watford are the most prominent and relevant to us. Fulham in particular were known for the brand of classy attacking football they played, and he developed youth players there. He's capable of using what we've got, developing the youth, and keeping some consistency to the style of play before Wilder's downfall began.

The only thing against him is that he was let go by both those clubs in the Prem, but in terms of what we could realistically aim at I haven't seen a better name (and let's be fair, Watford love sacking managers). Someone like Blessin would've been interesting but it would've been a punt on a first timer. Jokanovic has been here and done it before and is only 52 so has plenty of mileage left in him.

Abaht time anall

 

[Large Mendonca]

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

Was hoping for something more like this:-

 

[Sheffsteel]

Can we give the owner some credit at last .They said we wouldn’t sign Brewster and berge .They said we would appoint cheap heckingbottom.

He’ll get credit for now but if we are mid table next season...the hate for PA will return.
You can bet some will even say “we should have appointed Higginbottam as he knows the club...terrible decision to choose SJ”

However at this moment in time the best out there are Jokanovic and Eddie Howe...so you can’t criticise the ambition.

 

[Gimli]

A Wednesday fan has already declared he believes Jokanovic is ‘past his best’.

To be fair, as a Wednesday fan he would have a good idea of what something that is past it’s best looks like.

 

[Yogi]

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic appointment

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

I had the same very worrying thought

 

[Yogi]

Meanwhile, over with the Baggies...

And...

He’ll be in for a shock if Ismaël turns up if that’s what he thinks of wilder

 

[blademark]

I can't fault this appointment in any way.
If he somehow manages to bring Mitrovic and Sessignon in, will be on cloud 9.

Excellent, cheers.

We have to focus on the present and get behind him.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Because things have a habit of happening in threes, maybe?

 

[Sheffsteel]

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.

I haven’t renewed yet...was thinking of paying on the day...think the deadline is tomorrow afternoon.
There’s a principle at stake here. If the club show ambition then I’ll show them my money.

I will be renewing 2 season tickets tonight...I was tempted anyway but this appointment has now made it a certainty.

 

[Yogi]

Oh I made up with the appointment don’t get me wrong that’s what I’m saying the last time I was so sure united had made the right choice was Adkins

 

[S6 Blade]

Great appointment. Maybe the club won’t be in League One before not time after all. Maybe we aren’t going back wards?! Maybe some of our fan base need a large portion of humble pie!

 

[Keen Blade]

feckin brilliant , Boris the Blade ........... he's no Tufty Squirrel

[Harry's Game]

He‘s one of Belgrade‘s own, he‘s one of Belgrade’s own.. Slavisa Jankanovic, he’s one of Belgrade’s own

Did someone say pie?!

 

[Varkanoid]

Just hope he doesnt pull off the mask Mission Impossible style and reveal Chris Wilder.

(this is a joke)

 

[Keen Blade]

feckin brilliant , Boris the Blade ........... he's no Tufty Squirrel

can you imagine him meeting MooseFat for the first time ? "Drop the chips , fatboy !"

I thought the misspellings of Hugeingbottom had peaked. Looks like I was wrong.

 

[BarryBigtime]

Let's be reyt we've gone from strength to strength since the Prince got involved

Feel like a different club compared to when we had McCabe in charge. Can't fault the Prince so far

 

[bromtom]

Just hope he doesnt pull off the mask Mission Impossible style and reveal Chris Wilder.

(this is a joke)

He'd have to pull off some chest strapping too, he's not as blessed (?) in the chap baps department.

 

[knowsnowt]

Not a single win yet. Gerrimaht!

 

[Flatcap]

So happy.

I can see us scoring a bucket load of goals next season under Slav. And no VAR to rule them out.

 

[gaffablade]

Have a like
