We need a bigger billionaire. Shahid ain't cuttin the mustard. He does still own this shit show right?
I always said that if I won the lottery I'd buy some low division Scottish team on the brink of bankruptcy and save them Maybe we'll slip low enough by the time I win that I can buy FFC instead
Remember Gretna in the SPL a few years ago? Some billionaire bought them and they had something like 3-4 promotions in a row up to the SPL then went bankrupt and folded.
yep that's my dream minus the bankruptcy I want my name toasted in nondescript Scottish pubs for years to comne

In Thursday’s pre-match press conference, Kit Symons revealed his disappointment at not having Luke Garbutt available for the start of the 2015/16 campaign. The on-loan left-back hurt his ankle blocking a cross from Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha in Fulham’s final pre-season fixture on Saturday, and is expected to be out for between four and six weeks. “Luke’s going to be out which is a blow for us and a blow for the lad,” the Fulham Manager admitted, “but we’ll get the right medical treatment for him. “Hopefully it won’t be too long, but it’s not going to be an immediate return, that’s for sure. So we’re a bit disappointed with that. He came in, settled in really, really well but it’s just one of those things.” Scott Parker and George Williams will also miss out at Cardiff City on Saturday as they continue their recoveries from injury, while Fernando Amorebieta is absent having undergone surgery. “Fernando’s just had his operation as well,” Symons explained. “We’ve not seen him since he’s come back from international duty. “Immediately a problem was flagged up so he had some rehab, some treatment on that, then went to see a specialist and decided he needed the operation, which he’s had now. “Ryan Tunnicliffe’s suspended. Other than that, Tags [Adam Taggart] has got a bit of a hamstring problem. Then there’s a few niggles and a couple of concerns, so they might be alright travelling tomorrow, they might not – we’re not sure yet.” sounds like a great start
English books have us between 20-30/1 to win the league this year and between 6-9/1 for promotion. Good for about middle of the pack to slightly higher.
http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...emerson-hyndman-turns-down-extension-offers-f American Exports: U-20 standout Emerson Hyndman turns down extension offers with Fulham August 5, 2015 Greg Seltzer MLSsoccer.com AMSTERDAM – Hot transfer topic Emerson Hyndman has already turned down multiple extension offers from Fulham, MLSsoccer.com has learned. A source close to the situation confirmed that Fulham have actively been trying to swing a fresh deal with Hyndman, who will run out of contract at the end of the coming Championship season. As reported by Goal.com earlier this week, clubs in England, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain have shown interest in the 2015 Under-20 World Cup standout and former FC Dallas youth product. Both Goal.com and various German outlets have additionally reported that Stuttgart recently put in a transfer offer for Hyndman. However, a pair of German sources told MLSsoccer.com that the Schwabians were not expecting to make any more moves before the summer transfer window closes at month's end. The Bundesliga side also have a host of young central and attacking midfield prospects behind expected starters Daniel Didavi and Alexandru Maxim, in both the first team and the reserves. Get more American Exports news from MLSsoccer.com Hyndman, who made his US senior team debut last September, worked nine league contests and a pair of Capital One Cup matches last term. The youngster excelled with a team-best 88.9 passing percentage, just shy of league leader Dan Gosling's 90.2 percent completion rate.
I mean, I'd love to see him stay with Fulham for the good of the club, but as a US fan, if he can actually get playing time at a better club or league, it may be for the best for him to go.
the head scratching thing was that Felix had him in the lineup nearly every game at the beginning of the season and he was excellent, but when Kit took over his playing time dropped considerably prior to the collarbone injury. Seems like his age plus him being one of the only bright spots on the team would have lead Kit to keep him in the lineup.
This is so FFC. You knew it was coming. @FulhamFC: 86' Goal: 1-1. An absolute wonderstrike from substitute Craig Noone levels the scores. #COYW

Kone 2015 More help for the back line Bakary Koné to join Fulham on four-year deal Olympique Lyonnais' centre-back Bakary Kone by Stephane DeSaintsalvy Friday Aug 28, 2015. 16:27 Olympique Lyonnais centre-back Bakary Koné is closing in on a move to English Championship outfit Fulham, L’Equipe revealed on Friday. Deemed surplus to requirements at Stade de Gerland, the 27-year-old Burkina Faso international is set to land at Craven Cottage for €2 million on a four-year contract. Koné, who has been linked with Cardiff and Newcastle United this summer, scored 6 goals in 83 appearances for Lyon since joining the’Gones’ from En Avant Guingamp for €3.8 million in August 2011. The defender made his international debut in 2006, earning 53 caps for the Stallions with whom he competed at the 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015 editions of the Africa Cup of Nations. He was included in the 24-player squad that will face Botswana in Lobatse on 5 September, in Burkina’s second Group D outing of the 2017 AFCON qualifiers.
well this is a cracking start 7' Goal! Rotherham United 0, Fulham 1. Ben Pringle (Fulham) left footed shot from the left side of the six yard box to the bottom left corner.
a little more of this please 16' Goal! Rotherham United 0, Fulham 2. Ross McCormack (Fulham) converts the penalty with a right footed shot to the bottom right corner.
Yeah you guys need to get your shit together and rejoin the other London clubs in the EPL. I miss the Cottage.
Stearman and Ream should be a classy pairing for the Championship. If you don't know anything about Stears, he was our Captain and player of the season last year. You'll treasure his intelligence as a footballer.
Literally none of us know. Jackett said it was a "footballing decision". We used the 1m (another 1m in options) to turn around and buy Nathan Byrne from Swindon. I would hope we didn't have to sell our best player to upgrade another area of the pitch because now we're weak in the back.
Tottenham was desperate to loan out Yedlin. I wish Fulham could've made that happen. All in all, I like this transfer period a lot better than what happened last year.
