Blanco 4,900 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Robert Rowan, the technical director of Championship club Brentford, has died at the age of 28 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46197440 Very sad. So young to be taken away. Thoughts are with his family. May he rest in peace. Link to post Share on other sites

Foogle 2,078 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Slavisa Jokanovic sacked as Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri appointed manager A harsh sacking that I feel, there was still plenty of time to turn it around. The go to response for fans and nowadays seems to be to sack the manager at the first sign of trouble. Burnley, Newcastle and West Ham have all been in that same position this year and just a little bit of patience and they've turned it around. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Jokanovic turned it around for them last season, after a disappointing start to the season. Granted he got a lot of backing in the summer and neglected to improve their defence which was always their main problem area. A decent defender or two and a goalkeeper might have done wonders. Instead he more or less only focussed on offence. He'd make a decent managerial team with AK :) Link to post Share on other sites

boksicdink 1,937 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I could imagine Jokanovic really getting a tune out of Britt and Braithwaite Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I would imagine Stoke being very tempted to sack the underperforming Rowett now and replace him with Jokanovic. Link to post Share on other sites

Dan1234 1,048 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Promoted twice in recent history playing some of the best attacking football the league has seen. Not even with one of the huge budgets at Fulham (Watford were cheating barstewards like). Also gives youth a chance. Let's bring some feelgood factor back to the Boro.

I see what you mean but it wouldn't be wise to sack our manager while we are in second place. It would simply be too big a gamble. I don't like the way Pulis sets up either, but I'm also pragmatic. I'd rather just let Pulis get on with it this season and then hire a new manager when his contract expires in the summer regardless of which league we are in. Tell Pulis he can't bring in old players on big contracts unless it's a short term loan deal. Link to post Share on other sites

He'd make a decent managerial team with AK :) not sure its only about players, but also his style His solution to fix the defence problem this season seemed to have been to push the backline even higher up and put more attacking players upfront..... sure you can fight fire with fire but not usually very good.....
