Guest timrud Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I thought they had already borrowed against future TV money - so there might be a hole in the parachute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Fair play, that’s a great appointment by them IMO. Will put them in pole position to go straight back up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Gutted it looks like they will be getting Jockanovic as manager. Excellent manager imo, especially at that level. He will have them challenging to go back up imo. Would have loved him as our manager these past few seasons when we’ve been after a new one.

Sheff74 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 A very good appointment for the championship, sadly. I do suspect that he has been used to working with much bigger wage budgets at that level in the past though (Watford & Fulham) than what bog roll will make available.

SiJ Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 That's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Very much a sign of a new era for them. Big departure from the Wilder approach. Continental manager, football structure and imagine players too. Hopefully goes t*ts up but he's a very good coach. His Fulham side is one of the best Chsmpionship teams I've ever seen. Thought they were outstanding.

Pablo Bonvin Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Disappointing. Was hoping they'd stick with Heckingbottom. The days of humbleness are surely over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Wait and see. At Watford and Fulham he had excellent squads for Championship level, with excellent technical footballers playing excellent football. He's taking on an ageing squad of limited footballers who are only used to playing a defensive system, with question marks over how much money he'll get to spend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smhouston Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Yup, very good appointment for them. As mentioned above, few seasons ago he was who I hoped we'd get after Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 will be interesting to see if a team thats basically played the same tactic for 4 season running (overlapping centre half's ) can adapt to something new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 An appointment that virtually guarantees promotion back to the championship IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belgrade_owl Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Agent Slavisa reporting for duty. Scary thing is, he could bring Mitro there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I'm not just saying this because it's the blunts, but I'm not a fan of Jokanovic (also the case when many were touting him for us). I acknowledge his achievements with Watford and Fulham, but since has chased the money and strikes me as a mercenary, dining out on those promotions. How much desire does he actually have, given he's since been happy to take the Quatari money. Proper managers want to play in the best leagues and challenge themselves IMO. Could be decent for them, but I suspect given the length of negotiations he's had their pants down on a very lucrative 3 year contract and the only winner will be Jokanovic's bank balance.

hasthagotanycheese Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Appointing & keeping a manager with a proven track record of acheiving promotion from the league. Wonder if DC has ever thought of doing something ridiculous like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
