This was two days after we had beaten Cardiff 2-1 this season.

Is Mr RIgg sitting down
That is Nigel Pearson right? Is this when they went to watch Brighton?
Blinding results from that fact-finding mission...
Brothers in arms, real comrades.
To be fair, it's a power battle between these two at the moment.
Who will win?

Watch the movie Draft Day.
I believe that is how Fulham management style will be... Americanized.
Rigg will have more say about signing of players and Joka will be there to keep him in check.
....and yes, it is a good movie as the tension is high between two such characters :)

Jacksonville Jaguar was also potrayed in that movie... not in good light, though :005:
Rigg looks like one of those boring bastards we have all had to work with, who thinks he knows more than everyone else put together. I am sire you all know the type I mean.

And if you don't then I have some bad news for you...!
Pictures can be made to say whatever you want. I know if I didn't like someone I would not sit anywhere near them
I love the way in a lot of the pictures Joka is looking out of the corner of his eyes.... I wouldn't like to cross him ;)

If there ever was a football manager deathmatch, I think Jokanovic would come out victorious.
Bet Slav knows how to fight.

struggling to keep up here....
so we all hate rigg because he took two months to recruit jokanovic rather than just getting paul lambert...
jokanovic also hates rigg for this reason...
and there's a power struggle between them because at no point in this unacceptably lengthy recruitment process did either of them think to discuss what their respective responsibilities would be...
have i got that right?
I dislike Rigg because, in my view, he's dropped the ball twice.
1. Failing to replace Symons last summer. Whilst at the time we all assumed it was either cost-driven or because he thought Kit was up to the job, with the long period between managers, seemingly because Rigg couldn't find anyone willing to work under him, perhaps the same thing happened in the summer and Kit stayed on by default.
2. The ridiculously long period of time it took him to replace Kit with Jokanovic. To sack Kit with no replacement lined up is beyond rubbish. I was no fan of Kit by then (in fact earlier), but even keeping him on during that interregnum would have yielded more points than we did pick up. That period's points haul was the reason we ended up in a relegation battle.

Maybe Jokas thinking "Come on Riggsy, I bought the first round, drink up and get another in..."

ok well 1. we're in the same position now as this time last year: the manager has had half a season and not really impressed so the question is do we give him a summer to build and judge him then, or pull the trigger now? so this time around would you rather pull the trigger now and sack joka?
re. 2, we (quite rightly) spoke to a number of candidates to replace kit and inevitably that got leaked. would it have been a better situation with kit still in place for those 8 games whilst the press are reporting our discussions with clarke, pearson, warburton, jokanovic each week?
look both situations could have gone better of course but it's pretty forgivable stuff IMO
1. No, I'd keep him on. There have been signs of improvement, albeit not that many and our points per game hasn't been as good as I expected it to be after the first few games under him. But he's a manager with experience of this league - for me, that's where we're really gone wrong, players and managers. There is no similarity between this league now and the one we owned under Tigana - most squads are pretty switchable bar the very best and the very worst. But what they almost all have - and we don't - is experience of this league.
2. Ideally, we'd have spoken to candidates before sacking Kit and kept it quiet. Other clubs do all the time, why can't we?
You may deem it forgivable; I don't. That happens at any other club and you wet yourself laughing. And no I don't care about people laughing, my point is it's an unprofessional way of doing things. As, might I add, is drawing up a 5-man committee then completely ignoring their findings by going for the cheapest option.
he looks hard
Displays the same teamwork approach that we show on the pitch (none)!!

Unity on the pitch, off the pitch and in the stands.
I personally think Slav will walk after a summer of not getting the players he wants and being palmed off with a bunch of Rigg/Tony kahn no hopers.

That's the fear isn't it? To compound it, he may go later rather than sooner, giving us no time to bring in a quality replacement.
On the face of it, it does seem to be a 'him or me' thing with Rigg, who's done the square root of feck all and should be out on his arse anyway.
