Aside from Klopp, Pep and probably Tuchel, I can think of no manager in English football worthy of a four and a half year deal. It’s completely unnecessary and will only result in paying him a sizeable compensation when they invariably sack him in 18 months time. It’s not as though he’s lasted long in any of his managerial appointments since Barnsley - less than a season at Leeds, Hibs and as caretaker at SheffU before Jokanovic. WTF were the their board thinking about?j Edited November 25, 2021 by Rudolf Hucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Could be useful for us- he's not done much post Barnsley, although a new manager bounce is always a problem when facing a club. His first game with us might have been v us in 2018 and after a strong first half by us, we were hanging on by the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Views??? Think the rot started when they signed Rhian Brewster. Never a Wilder signing / player and a large hole then in their transfer budget, at the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don`t think he`s been starting much recently - McGoldrick has been I think? Watch him get three for the new boss on Sunday now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Talking to a Sheff Utd fan I know, apparently they are skint. Slaviša Jokanović fell out with the Chairman because they promised him decent funds when he arrived and it would seem that he's not got what he asked for. They wanted to sign Callum Wilson a while back but couldn't afford his wages and I don't expect Bournemouth were paying too much. The question being asked up there is "Where has the money gone?"

Furious Custard Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Quote from their chairman during the recent presser. And some of our fans are calling for new ownership ! "Paul will be the club's football manager I am told that is not a title that will go down well here. I don't care, I am not from Sheffield and I am not a football man I am the chairman. We are not going to discuss the plan here, the focus is on football. Prince Abdullah has been the face of the club and will no longer be the case. You won't see much of me either."

Port Said Red Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Just watched a video of his first training session as apparently Heck had a rant at the players. I didn't think it was much of rant and I also thought the whole sessuon seemed lacklustre with players just going through the motions. Then I read their fans comments on their forum, and they were saying how much more intense and urgent it all looked. Makes me wonder what it must have been like under SJ.
