Fulham new manager

[richart]

How do Fulham manage to sack their manager, and bring in a replacement immediately. They let the old manager spend money in the transfer window, when they must have been looking to get rid of him. Felix Magath turned down Hamburg two days ago, so must have known then he was going to Fulham for some time. Strange way to run a Club, and I have a feeling they have sealed their relegation fate.

Think they sealed their fate when they got rid of Jol

Jol had to go,it was obvious the players didn't want to play for him. Meulensteen was an odd appointment to start with.

Absolute rubbish, we sealed our fate not getting rid of Jol sooner. As for this new appointment, I'm really not sure what to make of it at the moment

I hope that the man in charge keeps Dan Burn in the team as we are relying on appearance fees for him and he has been doing quite well, and if Fulham sell Stockdale the that really would help Darlo out :thup:

Can't see that happening unless he massively improves his pace and mobility. Frequently exposed whilst on loan to us at St Andrews and, therefore, surely more vulnerable against Premiership strikers.

With regard to OP it does seem very strange to allow Meulensteen to spend relatively big during January and then sack him on 14 February. As a club Fulham have done well for some years now, punching well above their weight and perhaps reality is now starting to bite. For the sake of their fans I hope I am wrong.

Just get rid of David Hamilton!

Final nail in the coffin of a doomed season. See you in the championship

Another few years and Fulham V Wycombe Wanderers (my team) could be a fixture


In the Conference

Let's hope so, that's one place filled that the Mighty Eagles won't worry about then!

I like the Championship. Less plastic fans, and we actually win a few games. :thup:

Do I detect from this thread that Richart and Homer are on the same side for once. Blimey, wonders will never cease, if I have read it right and they are.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Why do they not pick English managers?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Fulham ,Cardiff & West Brom for the drop I think. Palace have got the best man in charge for a relegation scrap IMO.

I hope you are not accusing me of being a Fulham fan.

Because they are rubbish

Only going by this post and you said "we". And as the thread was about Fulham, what is one supposed to think. I thought it was cute that you and Homie batted for the same side

I was just taking a little bit of pleasure out the plight of Fulham, and having a bit of banter with their supporters on here.

I have been a Reading supporter since the 60's.

So you be playing each other next year. Let battle commence.:ears:

Apart from enjoying the moment our result consigned Reading to relegation, I've always enjoyed playing them. Working at the Royal Berkshire Hospital you can imagine the number of Reading fans I have to deal with every day all of whom are enjoying Fulham's plight. Plenty of Royals fan at my golf club too so no escape. To be fair, get relegated, clear out some of the older players, flog the assets like Hangeland and Stelkenburg and build again. The youngsters I saw in the cup matches and in the last few PL game to have some talent. Get some decent buys in over the summer and wait....

Strangely I was not so upset with Fulham, more that Pompey obviously took a bung to throw the last game of the season. You have enjoyed the moment for far to long Martin.

My daughter wants to go to an away game, so might pencil in Fulham next season. A Thames derby.
