No fear of tears for Jokanovic

- Nick Szczepanik

SLAVISA JOKANOVIC has played down suggestion­s his job is under threat as Fulham manager.

“I believe in myself and my staff and I believe in the players I’m working with,” he said. “At the end, the solution is in my head. I don’t have the time to think about these things or for crying about my situation.

“There is nothing tragic in my life. I am really satisfied in my life

and with my job. I’m focused on my business. I don’t have the time to go and knock and ask, ‘Do you support me or not?’”

Fulham go to Cardiff today, another team struggling since gaining promotion last season.

Winless Cardiff are bottom of the table and will be desperate for a first victory but Fulham, in 17th, have only one win to their name and their goals-against record (21) is the division’s worst.

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock said: “We’re 4-1 on to go down at the moment, so the bookies have already thrown us to the wolves. If I was a betting man, I wouldn’t put money on Cardiff staying in the Premier League. But I would put other people’s money on it. “Last year I wouldn’t have put a penny on us getting promotion, I’d have said keep your money in your pocket, don’t be stupid, yet some people won quite a lot of money. “Why not another miracle? And it will be a miracle at 4-1 on to survive.”
