I went through a couple pages and saw nothing.

Fulham Football Club announced, FINALLY, the appointment of a new manager/head coach (their words.)

Late last night the deal was completed bringing current Maccabi Tel Aviv manager Slavisa Jokanovic to Craven Cottage, after dismissing Kit Symons on November 8th.

Talk is the club were waiting for Jokanovic to manage a last match in the Israeli Cup after being eliminated from the Champions' League group stages.

Here is Sky's article on it.

Previously, he got Watford promoted last season, on a late season, short-term appointment.

Here is Jokanovic stating he hopes to be at Fulham for a while.
Standard

On Cottage Talk, it was reported that he REALLY wanted to be back working in London. Cottage Talk from today

Took them long enough. Took a hit in the table as a result.

"We" were in touching distance of both ends of the table on November 8th when Kit Symons was fired. Now, we're way off of playoffs, but just 3 off of relegation in 18th. :(

It's reported that Jokanovic likes to play with three defenders at the back. I wonder if that will help our atrocious backline? And I say that with a note of sadness, as I not only want FFC to be successful, but Tim Ream plays back there, too. I want him to have success.

Bolton played a 3 man backline at times with Ream as one of the CBs.

Do "we" have wingback-types to play that way? If not, the window will be crucial (it will be regardless though).

Fulham have been found to be in breach of Financial Fair Play rules from last year. The club are under a transfer embargo for January. I THINK it's possible to buy, but would have to sell, first. I also think the club can bring in loan players, just can't pay a loan fee, either (kind of like what we're getting for Mitroglu, who is still, technically, a Fulham player.)

Seems that Hyndman has been playing well lately. Glad to see he's getting an extended run in the side.

Huge 3 points. Had to be there.

Three more must-get points on offer with Sheff Wednesday at home on Sunday before we have to play them at Hillsborough in the FA Cup on the 9th.

I have hope again, but I had hope when they kept Kit full-time. The back office needs an overhaul.

I don't get the comparison. Also, why do you think he will play a lot under Joka?

Brave, have you been streaming the games or just listening to audio? How is Hyndman doing? And how did he go from getting no games to being a starter and Christensen not even making the bench?

I get mostly audio.

Kind of a mystery, but I think it's a good thing. Symons just had to tinker and tinker and tinker and eventually once Hyndman was fully fit it was his turn to get a run in the squad. Basically - enough injuries and enough things that didn't work you start recycling.

Hell, Kacaniklic scored today and Symons barely knew he existed. Circle of life shite.

The real question is, what DOESN'T it do?

Also, I think Omar Gonzalez may be a Schlami.
