Fulham’s manager in trouble as the Cottagers ship 25 goals in nine league games.
It’s looking troubling for Fulham Football Club at the moment, as the West Londoners slip into the bottom three of the Premier League after losing 4-2 to fellow strugglers Cardiff City.
Slavisa Jokanovic won many plaudits last season, playing an attacking and compelling brand of Football in getting Fulham promoted, but he may have to rethink his style if they are to stay in the Top Flight for more than one season.
Jokanovic was 14/1 on Friday to be the first Premier League to leave his post, but that price has crashed after the Cardiff game, to a best price of 4/1.
It's not looking good for #FFC right now, in the bottom three of the #PremierLeague!

Is Slavisa Jokanovic going to be the first #PL manager to lose his job this season?
Some bookies have him at 5/2 joint-favourite along with Jose Mourinho, whose own odds have relaxed slightly after a draw against Chelsea.
A quarter of all bets have gone on Jokanovic to go first this weekend, with only Mourinho himself (11/4 best price) receiving more in that time.
Interestingly, it seems that punters do not think Fulham will go down despite the current situation. The team are 7/4 best price to be relegated, but have only picked up 9% of total bets this weekend, way fewer than the 35% of bets placed on Newcastle, who are 15/8 and without a win all season.
Oddschecker Spokesman George Elek: “Fulham are faltering at the moment and cannot stop conceding goals. Slavisa Jokanovic may need to change his style quickly, otherwise he could be out of a job and the Whites may be in a relegation battle. The Serbian is joint-favourite with some bookies to leave his post first, although the 50-year-old insists he can ‘find the solution’.
