If he does go there he will sharpen them Blades. :54: Am I envious? You bet I am! If he brings them to the Cottage he should receive a standing ovation. Well he will from me. :54:

If it transpires he was available and we stuck with Parker over him, that for me would be the biggest f up Tony could make this year. A quality manager that gave us some of the most entertaining football for years at the cottage, proven track record at champ level, with a decent prem defence like we had this last year he might have actually had a chance to still be here! Our loss is Sheffields gain
Mitro will probably follow.
He worked with Oliver Norwood, that's a result.

As much as we'd like him back it realistically wouldn't happen without a change in other back office roles as well which is easier said than done. If TK and SP went then absolutely we should've been looking at him, but it's a moot point while TK is still here I think because he didn't like our recruitment process (and that's a whole other conversation that's been done to death). It's a shame though beacuse he'd have a much better squad now than the last time he was in this league with us and I would imagine he'd win the league with this squad
Well he will never come back with the b system that made him leave in the first place. Even though I am not sure ever returning would be a good thing. We remember the Championship season but his Prem debacle we forget and happily put all the blame on TK.
Good luck to him but I am a firm believer in never go back. It only leads to disappointment.
Gutted! Would love to have Slav back and a new DoF! I suppose we will be stuck with TK, SP and the departure of Mitro. Depressing!
Like finding out the ex-missus you never quite got over has found someone new and is probably going to look in even better nick than when you ditched her!

Dont forget his prem debacle but Scotts prem record was worse wasnt it? And my point mentions that Slav never had the defence we put in place this year. Im confident that if he'd been given Areola, Anderson, Tosin, Tete, Aina and Robinson he'd have done a dam sight better than he did having Ream at the back! I'm not TK hater but our defence left alot to be desired that year!
At least we will know how he will setup his team. The old saying that you never go back is true.

Good call... which will be an epic kick in balls for us fans and a damming indictment of several key people at our club if it happens
When they spank us next season both home and away TK will have a whole load of egg on his face for letting him go.
Expect a lot of fan discontent.

Fernhust I am still annoyed over his sacking. I think Kahn's inexperience cost us so dearly. Grrr. :doh:
Good luck to them. They have employed the best manager avaialble with a proven track record.
It was a great pity what happened here, I khonestly thought after getting promoted things would change but instead they became more dysfunctional.
I suspect they will be promoted if not next season then surely the one after. I wish i had the same faith with our team.
Good luck to him, wish he was still our manager. Sheffield will do well this year with his style of football. Better then us with Parker at the helm I reckon.

Slav was getting it right, they sacked him when results and performances were getting better.
I'd make them favorites to go up now.
Red hot favourites
Fulham missed the boat.....
Hope he appreciates all the problems that had concerned Wilder,with the training ground and the like.
I am absolutely gutted at the news! I'm still upset that we sacked him.

We'll have to be cautious when we play them next season - not sure how well we'd cope against a team as front-footed as Slav's...

The Khans have made many mistakes, sacking Jok was even bigger than the mistake they made employing Felix Wolfgang Magath.
Would make for two intriguing games next season if we could persuade Chris Wilder to join.
Hope he gets the runners up slot next season. Not perfect, but who is? A very easy manager to get behind and the warm feelings are well deserved.
Good luck to him!! We should have never sacked him, but too late for regrets now. Hopefully Parker can prove us wrong. I would prefer someone else in charge but time will tell
Wow, that hurts more than I thought it would.
I'm never sure going back is a great idea and it often fails, but seeing him in an opponents dugout is going to be a really hard pill to swallow.

Good luck to the Blades and Joka, not sad at all, life goes on!! After thought though, we must get rid of Parker and replace him with somebody like Eddie Howe!
That's one of the promotion slots gone already then. The Blades have some sexy football to look forward to next season.
Really is time we stopped talking about Jokanovic but don't forget he had bad periods here as well as good, we had to waite a while after his arrival for good results and then his premiership period was bad. Yes Parker had good defenders this season but then Jocanovic had good attacking players.

The bad periods you describe are because he uses the first 10 games or so, to create the 'identity'. He did the same at the beginning of each season with us. It's a trait, I expect it to be the same at Sheff Utd.

Thats true he did, however at the start of the prem season that condemned us, very similar t this season. You just cannot afford to be playing catch up.

Hope you are right and that Jocanovic will need a 10 game settling in period at Sheffield which should put them out of the promotion race.
It might well take him time to build the right team but he will improve them and the fans are likely to appreciate his style of football . As a football fan all I really want is ' hope ' and if that is coupled with a level of entertainment then I , for one , am a happy bunny.

Yes he was and that trouncing came after five Watford defeats on the bounce prompting a delegation led by Deeney to suggest they went back to how they were playing before he arrived. He might succeed he might not but a messiah like footballing guru he certainly isn't.
He's had 3 seasons as a manager in the Championship and his team has arguably been the best in the division every time. Effectively one of the promotion places is now engaged.

So you must feel the same about Bielsa, Lille just won the league with his successor when he left it looked like they would be relegated.I personally think in football things sometimes just click into place for no major reason. What works in one place may not work in another, this goes for players as welll.

I couldn't care less about his interviews. If Parker's Fulham were playing in my back yard, I'd draw the curtains.
All this further ammo to have a go at our owners. We offered him an extension in the championship and before the start of the premier season. His agent just wasn't playing ball.
By the time we sacked him, there weren't many who could argue with the decision. At that point he decided to to sign a contract at the hotbed of football in Qatar. As I understand it, he aint done that brilliantly there.
He aint that in demand. It is Sheffield United we are talking here.
Whilst I think Parker is a lame duck, I wouldn't want Slavisa back. We can do better. I wouldn't want Sessegnon back. We can do better. Mitro has had his time. We can do better.
I man-love all 3 of these guys and they have given me fantastic times but I absolutely agree with the timing of them leaving* but think it ridiculous that its just another chance for people to take shots at our owners. And then moan that the owners aren't saying much.

Sadly his long standing injury problems means he is a big gamble wherever he ends up. Very sad considering what a real talent he was. Hopefully still can be.
We might become a feeder club to Sheffield Utd known as Fulham t'up North !
Absolutely love Slav and was amazed when we stupidly gave him the bullet. This feels a bit like your stunning ex-wife shacking up with some pipe bender who lives around the corner, and you bump into them both at the local spoons every now and then at Thursday's curry club. All the while you're casting remorseful and admiring glances across the room, crying into your pint of Tuborg; consoled only by the fact it cost you £1.99.

Why would you sign any sort of contract when the owners aren't getting on with the you? That was well known. Even Parker has had his moments with Tony Khan.
My point is that people are complaining at our owners regarding Slavisa, when they were actively trying to extend his contract. You then have a difficult decision when things aren't going well and he seems quite stubborn in his tactics. DO you stick with a guy for the long-term and let hm ride the rough period, when its likely he will walk out anyway.
And, I think its fair to make the point again, that possibly his motivation was more financial, when you consider where he ended up.
I think the Scott Parker experiment has failed and I really do not look forward to more of his style of play but, I think we will be a far better bet next season than Sheffield UTD.

Indeed he might have done but equally I recall a Hertfordshire based journalists sitting with us at one game saying the coaching team kept the momentum going and the door was left wide open with a couple of games to go. As has been mentioned earlier sometimes managers click with the Club set up and the players, sometimes it doesn't almost immediately and sometimes it works until it's found out.
Slav knew what he had in the mitro/Sess combo in the championship. Unstoppable.
However, as someone else pointed out, his style of football takes a great deal of time for a team to adjust to. Years. But once they've adjusted...
Biggest mistake we can all make is underestimating this man, Slav, especially if the chequebook is open for him. If they take Cairney and Mitro, can they at least take Knockaert as well?
I actually thought Slavs major problem was Craig Kline at the time and the support of him by tk.
Did a fantstic job for us and good luck to him. Not against us though.

Watford aren't fussed about letting anybody go !
Didn't they let a manager go, then he was rehired or something.

Biggest mistake our owners made was getting rid of Slav when they did.
Agree 100%.

I join this agreement 100%
I was going to comment about some of the poor taste comments on this thread but I'll leave it there.
I just wish the guy all the very best in his new job and will check on his progress on a regular basis. The guy isn't the Messiah but if his football at Sheff United reaches anything like the football we played in many a game while he was here then Blades fans are in for a treat.
Well done Slav and good luck in Sheffield

Really is time we stopped talking about Jokanovic but don't forget he had bad periods here as well as good, we had to waite a while after his arrival for good results and then his premiership period was bad. Yes Parker had good defenders this season but then Jocanovic had good attacking players.
The bad periods you describe are because he uses the first 10 games or so, to create the 'identity'. He did the same at the beginning of each season with us. It's a trait, I expect it to be the same at Sheff Utd.
Thats true he did, however at the start of the prem season that condemned us, very similar t this season. You just cannot afford to be playing catch up.
Love Slav, but he was never going to come back to us, shame but thats life
His Prem season, everything that could go against him did. No pre-season, still signing players when the season had already started, signing players without Prem experience and so much more.
I do not disagree, but the same could be said for Parker this time, like with Slav we were still signing a lot of players on deadline day . So they had no pre season with us either, we didnt sign many this tie with prem experience either.
Not a big SP fan but i wont look thru rose tinted glasses at Slav in the prem, as much as I (and we all) have a man love for him.

The comment relating to "the Messiah" was lazy writing on my part so I will apologise for that.
Welcome back Slav best of luck ,not that'll he need it.
He will have Joe Elliot and all the Blades fans back on their feet fast.
