I used to like the guy as a player and manager too... Really annoyed that he ended up there. He's chosen the right city, but the wrong club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And because of parachute payments etc, pigs will have the resources to give their manager to easily get them back up at the first time of asking. As much as I hate to say it, pigs nailed on for a 2022 promotion. In 12 months time, pigs and Wednesday could be separated by 3 divisions. Frightening. Berge, Brewster, McBurnie et al are carrying an excessive amount of losses. Filling the voids will not be easy. If anything their fans are far more fickle than ours not a chance in hell that they can convert last years excessive ST purchases into a like for like roll over as evidenced by the £40x10K fire sale which were reduced to junior and Uni sales. I just don't see the prince pushing the boat out for a bounce back attack; Too many ageing or leaving player spots to fill with the required quality.

Orlando_Trustful Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Good appointment and a man I wish we got 4 - 5 years ago. However, as has been suggested his Fulham and Watford sides were very different to what he'll be getting at United. It might take him a year or two to get them to become real challengers, but eventually he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit weird for a SWFC fan like but whatever floats your boat... All I know is that, pigs spent circa £56 million last summer just on transfer fees. Not an insignificant amount really. This was at the height of a global pandemic when most clubs were tightening their belts. Jokanovic is no mug. He wouldn’t be going there if pigs didn’t have the resources required for promotion. Think he was just mentioning a well known fact that you conveniently overlooked But its ok for you to quote how much money they have spent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Isn't this the guy that took Fulham up and club spent over £100m during summer and they sacked him early doors following season and ended up going straight back down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 It's a great appointment though. Suspect they've probably gambled a fair bit on it working out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
