The former Fulham loanee remains behind Slavisa Jokanovic.
It is more than a month since Stan Collymore predicted that Fulham would soon go on a run.
But while Fulham may have in that time found some consistency, five straight Premier League defeats is perhaps not what the former Cottagers striker turned pundit was expecting.
In his column for the Daily Mirror on Tuesday (November 13, page 51), however, Collymore is continuing to urge against panic at Craven Cottage – where the manager, Slavisa Jokanovic, is under increasing pressure.
“Fuham should not panic – I am absolutely convinced about this – and sack manager Slavisa Jokanovic for one of the easy option replacements,” he writes.
“Jokanovic was sublime last season and if Fulham were to go down they’re only a good, veteran, Championship centre-half away from bouncing straight back up.”
Bookmaker Paddy Power has already opened a market on Fulham’s next manager, which is currently being joint-led by Alan Pardew and David Moyes.
Claudio Ranieri is also highly placed, ahead of outside candidates Sam Allardyce, Steve Bruce and Chris Coleman.
Fulham have shown a marked improvement in the second half of each of Jokanovic’s previous two campaigns as boss, resulting in a sixth-place finish in 2017 and promotion this year.
