Hi there. I'm putting a piece together for Inside Wales Sport (Cardiff are one of the teams we cover). I'm just putting something together on managers and wondering if someone can help with the Fulham section. I'm just looking for a couple of lines on Jokanovic, what do you expect him to achieve this season and are the fans behind him? Cheers
First thing to say is Jokanovic is a Head Coach and not a Manager. This envisages him coaching players and creating a team from what players he is given by the Player Analysis Team headed by Tony Khan the Chairmans son. What input Jokanovic has on buying new players is open for debate. It is thought he gives requests for players in certain positions and can suggest Players he wants, but then this analysis team take over and look at statistics and go and buy the best cheapest alternative. Jokanovic Positives : Last season we played some of the best attacking football we'd seen in years and got us to the play-offs. Negatives: He hasn't sorted out our defensive frailty yet. He has to stop letting good youngster like Partick Roberts, Moussa Dembele, Emerson Hyndman, Lasse Vigen Christensen leave and allowing the Stats team to buy in joke players instead. The hope for this season: Is that he can again play entertaining football and do better than last season with what at present is a small squad.
