Who is your realistic manager choice for next season?

Jokanovic should be on the list.

So should Luis Enrique and probably Sergio Conceicao.

Can I just say, not a lot of good candidates on that list. No one better than Conte really.

Sarri

Out of that list, Jody. But my first choice would be Jokanovic.

Does not matter. Conte does not WANT to be here.

Why exactly? One good season for Fulham that should see jt and villa beat them in the playoff final?

I would sooner it go to Morris. No way he disrespects the club like conte has done.

All aboard the Poch train

Surely our master of soccer knowledge and tactics in our own very forum should be on the list and very highly fancied as well.  We've had so much detailed analysis of what was wrong (bald, wig, err, that's it) that we would obviously win every match in "better than Barcelona" style.  Surely.

Fulham played some gorgeous football this year. All managers have to start somewhere. Why not snap him up before another big team does. Don't get the fascination with only hiring managers that have won something in the past. Doesn't mean they're going to be any more of a success here. 

Unless we told Poch that we will give him a lot of money to spend on this squad. I really don't see him coming here, new stadium and CL football at Spurs. It kinda of stinks of him getting a new contract. I'd be worried if we are still in the hunt for a manager behind the scenes with our last game being on the weekend.

We may be offering a lot more then Spurs can offer him. We will definitely spend more then Spurs and we have the best academy in Europe. If he truly wants to win by developing youth players we are the best option for him.

Why not? We've wasted so much time & money on "proven managers", with limited success. Why not go out a get a young talented manager, and see what he can do!

They'll also come here looking to win major trophies from the get go, demand the board supply them with big money signings, ignore our youth teams, only think short term and in two years time we'll be in the exactly same position we are in now once again looking for a new manager, still having no youth players integrated into the squad and our squad will be a mess with no clear identity or no real direction 

Personally would like to see Jody Morris in, even if it was a short term 1 year deal due to lack of experience. At least he's Chelsea through and through, and doing well with the under 18 team.

 

Otherwise it's just gonna be business as usual, new manager in for 2 or 3 seasons starting with a high finishing with a low. Seems the norm over the past decade.

I don't see it happening, but could you imagine the complete and utter meltdown from the Spud fans. Would be fantastic.

Jody as assistant for whoever comes in. One of the issues with Conte is that the whole backroom staff is his. We cant have that happen again. 

It'll go to Sarri and he will be here for 2 years. Realistic option, i'd go for Jardim. 

Non realistic, I'd get Howe and give him a 1 year grace period - if we finish 6th next year then be happy.

But then tends to happen with ALL big-name coaches. You rarely get someone who is a top coach go to a club unless they take their team with them.

But I do agree - would love to see someone like Jody Morris having a decent role with the first team.

Jokanovic has been managing for 11 years. You should have a look at his record. It's pretty impressive. Yes he would constitute a risk because he's unproven at Premiership level, but so were many managers that proved to be successful. Regardless of whether Fulham win the Play-off Final, he deserves a shot at a higher level. I doubt it will happen but I'd be happy if it did, on the basis that there are precious few stellar names out there, and on the basis that we'd be going for potential rather than tried-and-tested, which sometimes can work in your favour. Besides, as anyone that saw him play for us will testify, the guy was an absolute monster in a blue shirt. In fact I'm surprised we haven't built a statue of him.

Oh, @Davey Baby you made I larf again!

I thought he was his own statue on the pitch.

A few years ago there was a "What's your most rubbish Chelsea team"  thread.  Jokanovic was on most people's list.

He used to let the peasants do all his running for him yorkley.

 

The man was a genius.

Manager will more likely have won something, as abramovich doesn't go for unknowns

As i pointed out earlier, i bet the same "show us your medals" crew wouldn't want the two most decorated managerw avalible.

He got Fulham to play offs last season and didn't he take Watford up? Fulham play a lot more attractive football than the sh*t we get served up.

what a sh*te list of managers we can do better than that
