SLAVISA JOKANOVIC has dropped his interest in Ross McCormack - after being warned off the Scot by the Fulham dressing room.
Cottagers chief Joka was considering a switch to re-sign the striker on loan this January, having sold him to Aston Villa in the summer for £12million.
McCormack, 30, is currently training with the Villa Under-23s following his infamous 'Gate-gate' where he failed to show up for training as the gates at his house were stuck.

A clutch of clubs are reportedly ready to move for the forward, but SunSport understands Fulham are no longer one of those.
That was after Jokanovic consulted his players over the prospect of bringing back McCormack - and the feedback was negative.
McCormack was understood to be a disruptive influence last season, despite being the club's - and possibly the division's - best player.
