Slavisa Jokanovic has confirmed he is in talks with the club over a new contract

[Chesh]

.... as per the Get West London version of the press conference at 1.43pm.

Sounds relatively promising, bearing in mind some of the rumours recently about Joka definitely going?

I should say, it wasn't repeated in the club's twitter feed of the press conference.

[snarks]

That's good news if they get it done

Slavisa Jokanovic confirms Fulham contract talks
The Serbian agreed an 18-month deal when he joined the Whites in December 2015 and has overseen a dramatic turnaround in fortunes at Craven Cottage this season



Slavisa Jokanovic has confirmed that he is holding contract talks with Fulham over staying beyond the end of this season.

The Serbian agreed an 18-month deal when he joined the Whites in December 2015 and has overseen a dramatic turnaround in fortunes at Craven Cottage this season.

Last season saw Fulham struggle at the wrong end of the table but, going into the final few weeks of the campaign, the west Londoners have a chance of a play-off spot.

Fulham fans are keen for Jokanovic, who has been linked with jobs elsewhere come the summer, to commit his future to the club.

And, for the first time, the Whites boss has confirmed that he is in talks to remain at Craven Cottage.

"I'm under contract and I am motivated to keep going and that's it," he said.

"We are talking about this right now. I am happy here and it's a great club and we need to be more successful than we are and that's it.

"This is part of the football business. I try and focus on my daily job."

Well let's hope that whoever it is, ultimately Khan Senior I suppose gives  Slav everything he wants including a big fat transfer kitty for the Sumer. COYW

[Rambler]

Keeping my fingers firmly crossed that he signs. Stability is vital. Especially when we have a great manager.

[Southcoastffc]

Will he pass Cline's (Kline's?) stats test?

[Burt]

It would be great to get him signed up and sorted. Just hope he isn't tempted elsewhere...

[hovewhite]

Come on shad get the deal and slav signed up so its done and dusted our best manager of shads stewardship by a country mile.

[Horsfield_No9]

We better not mess this up. If we do offer him a deal I hope it's one which reflects the job he's doing i.e longer that 12-18 months. I think 2 year would be fair at this point.

Joking with my friends that we'll prob offer a loan with an option and he'll become Derby boss in the summer.

[Southcoastffc]

It'd be the best signing in recent history and would give the playing squad a real boost.  IF SJ does sign a new contract it'd also be a huge sign to supporters that Shahid Khan is seriously committed to FFC.  Fingers and every other crossable things are crossed.

[Riversider]

Need it signed and sealed before the final game of the season, so many season tickets will depend on his decision ,
Can't afford to let this drag on all summer, I will hold off from renewing my 3 season tickets until the management situation is resolved, would hate to renew only for Pardew to replace Slavisa !

Yep totally agree. Probably one of the few things Khan has done right if he signs.
Huge boost for us fans, had plenty of ITK  people tell me hes definitely off

[ChesterTheTabby]

He is the biggest reason for our season's success, and with him the club can continue to climb. I fear without him it would be another 3-4 seasons to get back to where we are. I also fear that if he leaves so will many of the players, they seem to really respect him.

[One James stannard]

Would be fantastic news to get him signed up for a good few years, not that contracts count for much anymore

[Fulham 442]

My thoughts exactly!

[Lighthouse]

Trying to keep the Fulham project going and have some sort of continuity is important. But I still don't buy into this Joka is God or the best signing we could make. Be great if he stays but not such a tragedy other than a new coach would want his own ideas brought in.

Mind you we will have enough on our hands trying to bring in a forward or two and a decent centre half in the Summer without worrying about a manager or coach.

[MJG]

Would be great news if he does sign. I certainly didn't expect it to happen following January  but if it does then it would dispel some rumours on here.
But we wait and see and fingers crossed

[grandad]

Give the man whatever he asks for. He is so important for not only the present but the future. Whatever we have to pay him will be small change if we can gain promotion if not this season but next.

There's worse than Pardew out there e.g. Fat Sam aka the Northern Jowl Meister.

[Forever Fulham]

One thing almost all of us can agree on.  This guy is so worth keeping.  He's the real deal.
