Title: Experience and youth
Post by: MickTheBeard on July 08, 2026, 08:32:45 PM
Yes in favour of youth but their is a problem the youth are not ready and maybe not good enough it's the premier league and very hard to crack.Forwards munis,18 year old swede and rumours of a Spanish forward learning to adapt to Real Madrid and now the premier league is not ready will have to adapt but that will take time.What are we going to do in the mean time don't tell me Gordon Davies.

Is there anything, whatsoever, that will make you happy with FFC?
What is it that would stop you moaning and give us all some peace?

Please state your absolute requirements and maybe we can then understand you, because presently it really does appear that you do not support Fulham at all!

Come on Mick, if you've supported us for years then you know what a shambles we used to be?

We ain't great, but certainly improving.

I put a lot of time and money when younger when ariversider into youth when terry bullivant was here as youth team manager and was happy with bill muddyman lived in the same road as my mum in fulham then they found fayed it was progress and wilson jimmy hills mate who played for fulham in jimmy hills time worked in the city of London high up scuttled marler estatates to go bankrupt and was their idea to get Chelsea fans buy pitch so they can't build on it.Now don't forget if the khans had bought Wembley we would not been here.And now we have a new coach different to silva a very reserved man who hasn't bought players to improve teams he has inherited academy players and we have a owners son is going back to buying players like he did with Anderson price and age is wrong and the fiasco of jeminez and wilson leaving us lite with money to buy a Dof who is joint owner but does not attend games but buys players no wonder I have big doubts about our set up.I still can't understand why they bought fulham ,tony has said it's not big enough to stage pretend sport wrestling that tells me as a buisness point of view it they had bought wembley we would not have been at craven cottage and we would have died at Wembley.

Hi Mick, you have made a lot of assumptions (IE Arbeloa being a reserved man?), that Anderson was Tonys idea (any source for this?), and that Tony is 'back buying players' - the opposite seems true on this as basically every player we have been linked with has been a Madrid player Arbeloa has worked with before..

As far as I recall, there was never any intention to move FFC to Wembley, had the purchase gone through. Certainly nothing was said at the time. The Khans were intending to buy Wembley and would then make money from it through various events using the stadium (and would also have had the Jaguars playing there more regularly).

The Khans offered to buy Spurs as a ground with their hidden agenda was to use it as a base for the Jags in London.
But keeping the Football there as well.
But Spurs turned them down.
So their second choice and only other choice as it
Happened to be available was to buy Fulham for the same reason as a base for their crash helmet game.
After they bought Fulham they realised we weren't big enough or have viable to
facilities to include the Jags.
The football has always come second to their ambition for the jags.
So they made a decent offer for Wembley but fortunately the FA saw through their hidden agenda and turned it down as they new it would effect the football and Wembley is the home of English Football, and playing this micky mouse game the jags play as regularly as the Khans wanted would be an insult to the sacred turf.
At least the FA have got something right for once.
Hence why I believe their is an uneasy relationship between the FA and the
Establishment with Fulham,
Firstly because of Al Fayed, secondly because the khans pushed their attempts to take over Wembley and in doing so poked the Lion once too often.

So their "hidden agenda" was to buy a football ground either Spurs or Wembley and use it as a base for the Jags plus football and other events? Hardly hidden given that everyone knows about it.
