Moyes would be sensational

Slavsa Jokanovic straight in at 4/1 Sky Bet

[St. Andrews White]

He would be an excellent appointment, definitely in my top 'realistic' three

Slavsa Jokanovic straight in at 4/1 Sky Bet

he is now 7/4 favorite with sky bet. Bruce second @ 4/1

Looking at all these rumours of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Kinda feel we're fast tracking JFH here. He's only been in England a year, League 2 to Championship in a year is a bit fast and certainly no easy feat

[sipwell]

Why is Hasselbaink in the shortlist? He failed at Antwerp FC, a second division club here in Belgium. Can't really see what an extra year would bring as added bonus to pick him, really...

Jokanovic wanted his salary trebled when he got Watford promoted.

The fact that he took over Burton Albion and more or less took League 2 by storm. Only lost three times under him from November onwards, while only conceding more than one goal in a game ONCE in that time. Now joint top of League 1 with more wins than anyone in the division

Yeah well, his managing style was really not that impressive here in Belgium. His training was doubtful too. Doesn't this simply mean he has a good backroom staff? Antwerp was a team competing (at the beginning of the season) for a play-off place. Never got close in the end...

I go to Southend a lot (my local team) and he has been down there a few times with Burton. He has them playing decent football a really good brand of passing football and toughness, they defend well, organised and efficient, they attack en mass with wingers and pace, very easy on the eye. The players there seem to have bought into his ethos and they are getting the rewards for that,although losta couple of late.

I agree though Sipwell, when I was over in Brussels for 3 years August last year, Antwerp under him were not very good and the rumours / stories of discontent and dodgy training were quite rife. But he seems to have learnt he has good staff with him at Burton too and a chairman who backs him to the hilt (Burtons chairman backs all his managers so not unusual).

FULHAM MANAGER SEARCH UPDATE

Sky sources understand Fulham are hoping to get a new manager in place for the MK Dons clash after the international break, and Alan Curbishley will be responsible for running the first team training.

At the moment they are not planning to put in a caretaker in place, and we're being told no negotiations have taken place with a preferred candidate yet.

FULHAM EYE TRIO

Sky sources understand Fulham are hopeful of speaking to Paul Lambert, Uwe Rosler and Nigel Pearson regarding the vacant manager's position at the club.

Kit Symons was sacked as manager after Saturday's 5-2 defeat by Birmingham in the Championship, leaving them 12th.

aparantly we are looking for a head coach not a manager that surly rules out a few people

Who, for example?  Assuming that the distinction between head coach and manager is not merely one of sophistry, then we need a manager.

this is the problem. i am pleased we have taken the decision to change manager, but if we end up with someone like rosler that will be a disaster.

gary monk is apparently on the brink at swansea. but i hope we do not go for him.

Agree Rosler has been sacked from his last 2 jobs and had neithe rof them for longer than 10 months. Of the 3 mentioned the only one worth considering for me is Lambert, but I hope we have more than those 3 on any shortlist we may have.

guess you could rule moyes out and possibly Bruce. to be honest I don't really see the difference. maybe we are just looking for someone to fill kits shoes rather then a whole new back room staff, that a manager would want

Paul Lambert? The most boring man on the planet.
Nigel Pearson would be great.
