I have heard a few times that Wenger was approached but he turned us down out of respect to Arsenal & not wanting to manage another premier league team.

If it all goes wrong, maybe we could approach him again next season...

In all honestly I'd rather Ranieri. Dread to think how much money Wenger would be on.

Could have sold Seri in the January window, that would have covered Wenger's wages (just)!

I don't believe this, he is way above us right now. No disrespect to Fulham but that guy is one the most highly regarded managers still in World Football

Would've loved Wenger, but Rajieri could do well too.

I was touting Wenger for Fulham a few days back and good to hear the club heirachy has sounded him out.  Am not too enamoured re Ranieri but Jokanovic had to go.

Playing Seri for so long in the centre of midfield and not realising it, even in the Liverpool game has cost him his job.

At least the Italian does encourage the attractive football Fulham want, and his near direct play will be a positive influence.

Coupled with a new head of the PL a Fulham supporting female will get the cowardly corrupt refs off our back and give us a chance to survive.

Thank God for that!!

If it all goes wrong and we finish up back in the Championship, ask yourself would Wenger want to manage us! in fact will Ranieri want too.
