"Jokanovic was always a Fulham target but could not move until the end of his side's Champions League campaign"

THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL!!!

Sounds like Rigg has fed some crap to the papers so it looked like he knew waht he was doing all along

So if they had made it through (they finished bottom as I recall), he would have been off the list?

So we should be thanking Chelsea for helping us speed the process up

Looks like Jokanovic is heading back to England with @FulhamFC. Told it's already done and compensation agreed https://t.co/eJ5UxppQ2M

It's not soccer it is FOOTBALL

Soccer is short for Association Football as opposed to Rugby Football.

?

The name soccer 1863 predates the name football and is short for Association Football as apposed to rugger

At 45 years old I'll stick with football on footie

So who was it who said you couldn't use those words? Point him out to me and I'll sort him out. How stupid must he be to get so upset at what someone calls a game?

[Lighthouse]

Well he isn't really a good fit. He isn't worth the wait. He isn't what Fulham said they were looking for and he hasn't done well everywhere he has been. He will be gone within a year by walking out and saying the job isn't what the club promised him.  :005:  049:gif

He did say 'No Comment' when asked about the Fulham job tonight after his match.

[@jolslover]

He is a good fit and he is well worth the wait. Very good appointment Fulham

[WORTHINGFULHAM]

He is a good fit and he is well worth the wait. Very good appointment Fulham

We havnt got him yet

Fair enough, IF we get him, Which (fingers crossed) looks likely at this stage

Couldn't  care less what you call it but that's a few more posts. Certainly not upset HD as i'm sure your not but you are right in that i may well be stupid.

Just trying to help the team

[e4b]

They need all the help they can get at the moment but maybe we have just got someone who has half a chance of sorting this mess out.By the way i am talking about the soccer team not the posting team.

Exactly. I don't believe that for one minute. Otherwise how do they explain the Clarke episode. In any event we are still managerless and are now well into week 7

Yeh that is such rubbish, you can't blame him for trying though, he's hardly the kind of man to come out and admit his mistakes is he?

In what way is Slavisa Jokanovic a "good fit" ?

attacking football with flair-no
in the Fulham style-no
experience at the highest level-no
used to working with English teams-no
good with the press-no
good personality-no
strong links with major players and clubs-no
likely to impress star players and attract new signings-no
rebuilt a team-no
good sporting player with clean reputation-no
fresh exciting coaching talent-no

I think the good fit evidence is based on less than a season at Watford when he inherited the squad after a quick succession of managers then walked out over a pay demand.

This looks like a good plan and worth wasting a season on.

Glad to see your being positive about it

Thanks very much. I take this all with a pinch of salt given how the record came about, but it's still a delight none the less.

However, for one day I AM A GOD!!!

How long will he be with us before jumping ship?

Legitimate question, other than Mark Hughes, who was the last one TO jump ship?

That would be Roy

I mean in the traditional sense. Wasn't he essentially bought by Liverpool

Isn't that jumping ship?

I suppose (late night, not thinking straight). OK, I'll re-ask the question. Who was the last manager to RESIGN

I actually thought Roy resigned before going to Liverpool, but was a long time ago it seems now and I have probably tried to block that from my mind
