### PETITION LINK (http://www.change.org/p/for-the-removal-of-felix-magath-as-manager-of-fulham-football-club-remove-felix-magath-as-manager-of-ffc) ###
I have seen little to nothing from the beginning part of this season and the end last season that leaves me with any confidence that Felix Magath is the correct manager for Fulham.
In this respect I was hoping to gain some opinion from my fellow fans as to what each and everyone of us feels in relation to the above. Shahid Khan when he completed his takeover of us stated: 'I want to be clear, I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham, but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans.'
As such he has a duty and obligation to listen to our views.
Please post some sensible arguments or sign this petition and it will be forwarded on to the club. Please don't post any offensive language as it does nothing and will not be taken seriously by the club.
I will start with some of my own views as to why Felix Magath is not the right man to manage us.
1) Baffling squad selections. He has used over 20 players already this season, and if I'm correct over 40 last season. The lack of continuity does not help the gelling of the squad. Players are unable to form playing relationships, they therefore lack understanding and cannot play well with each other. Added to this the young players, whom previously had played well, are then removed from the match day squad for the next games for no apparent reason. Emerson Hyndman for example, as been a stand out player this season. He has done little wrong and from the previous 2 matches has been removed from the squad. Added to this he puts players in the wrong positions from which they have little understanding about their role within the team. Stafylidis as centre midfielder??!
2)Man management. Alienating and ostracizing players. Tunnicliffe, Burn, Kacaniklic to name a few. These players do not even want to leave the club. They are proven championship players, and of quality. Magath said he would give everyone a chance, but these 3 have got nowhere near the matchday squad, and do not look like they will. Despite this, he gives Fotherington, whom I have nothing against, a 50 minute spell vs Wolves. This player did not succeed at a league 1/2 club and has struggled to pin down a first team place at most of the clubs he has been at. Why was he picked over the other 3?
3)Rumours of in house squabbles and those players that have left have said he his 'impossible' to work with. This is to be taken with a pinch of salt but as more and more players say this it is difficult not to listen to. But how can we get a good team spirit within the squad if players find the manager difficult to work for/with.
4)Most importantly. 0 wins in 4 games. Currently 0 points in 4 games. Added to this the squad is playing bereft of confidence, and doesn't look like getting any wins anytime soon. The young players need to be nurtured and encouraged. They are still developing. They look like they are being torn apart. Felix will not inspire them. The club has fallen apart over the past 12 months and it is embarrassing. We look as though we are continuing to decline and I do not believe Felix is the man to lift us. We need a man manager our youthful team. A manager who knows the English game and is in a similar mould to Brendan Rogers. Now I know this sounds silly, we will not get someone of established quality like Brendan Rogers, but we need someone of similar nature - who will not hound his players, destroy their confidence and play baffling team selections and tactics which none of the players understand.
Anyway there are two sides to the argument. So feel free to comment on why you think he should stay if you feel that way, and vice versa. Sensible opinions please.

Agreed and signed. He has to go now before he can do any more damage.
The only reason I can think of why he should stay is stability. That's it. We need to stop chopping and changing with managers. However, Magath is a nutter. All the points you've made a correct. He won't take us to promotion. My main concern now is relegation. And I'm being serious.
Signed. Not sure it will do much good. Owner and Ally mac are clueless as well.
At last, something to hang our hats on. Cannot argue to much with what you have written. Only one thing, I worry that having had so many managers this last 18 months will not aid stability.
Signed. Get pulis in.
Signed. I really didn't want another manager change but I feel we are such a mess now that it's not even going to be considered a gamble to bring in someone new.
No suggestions of Pulis though please.
Signed. There is NO stability. I would imagine the players will be relieved to see the back of him
Signed.
Signed.....the players, those that have departed (despite there gripes) have suggested that not is well in the dress room with felix and i don't think the players are with him either. Annoyingly Fulham are going to have to change manager again. I dont know what hes doing tactically.....still havent forgiven him for playing dan burn at left back at stoke.
Im sorry hes got to go immediately, but mckintosh or khan wont do anything and its going to be a season wasted in the bottom half of the table. Its embarrassing.
I will be absolutely amazed if he turns this around in the next 10 games....amazed!!
If this gets over 100 people, i really hope this gets handed to the club somehow or mailed to them, if anyone has got any links....
Stability when the status quo is disastrous is hardly a desirable option.
The club is only having to change managers so frequently because it seems that those making the appointments seem incapable of selecting the right man.
is the petition in here or am I blind to see a link to a petition?
Anyways I wanted to give Magath more time, but this is horrible, just terrible! So I sign!!
would you like it in blood, signed, the man is clueless
I was excited at the start of the season but now fully deflated, signed.
I remain optimistic for the team, but not for Felix. Signed.
Reluctantly signed

HAHA Fulham going down quicker than a cheap hoe lol what has happened to my team.
Signed: these performances are not expectable. How u can he be blocking out players that we need like Burn who we need and Mitroglou too. We can't score damn goals and ur he's not playing Mitroglou. He can't be constantly changing the team either, we need stability and as for some if the signings; why sign Fazlic if he isn't going to play and why sign Fotheringham who is an average league one player. And please sign some leadership under a new boss. We need someone like Pulis, Mackay or Moyes now. Don't wait cus we can't lose to Brentford as well.

Utter rubbish, gave him the Benefit of the doubt when we went down but this crap cant continue any longer!

I was going to withhold judgement, but today convinced me otherwise. He needs to be shown the door.

Macintosh needs to go too, he's given khan some of the worst advice this world has ever seen.
>sack rene after some great performances
>keep felix after tonnes of terrible performances
He cannot be defended by anyone now. If you believe he needs more time then you dont really care about fulham football club that much. Stability is a wonderful thing but it needs a stable manager to conduct it. Magath is anything but stable and is fast becoming our all time worst manager, if you can even call him a manager.
Signed 3 times for 3 season ticket holders, 2 of which arent members on here
Those poor kids deserve better and ali mac/ magath are the the worst thing that could of happened to fulham.
Absolute disgrace
Signed. We let Jol cling on until we were beyond saving, let's not make that mistake again.
done
Signed...get him out NOW!!
Signed He is beginning to make Sanchez look good
Signed-he's making Don Mackay look good.
Signed. And Macintosh can go with him
signed, just make it quick, we're in huge trouble otherwise.
And, signed too for the removal of Ali Mac. I've long defended him, based on his reputation, but that no longer feels tenable.
Signed
This cannot continue, I'm heartbroken. It's time to respectfully dismiss Magath, his desire is clearly not equal to his ability. Failure to act now will be the clearest indicator that Mr Khan's intention to drive FFC out of business only to replace this once great club with his NFL franchise. I have no evidence to substantiate this other than my gut feeling, a feeling I've had since the club was sold.

I'm curious: How does one "drive an English football club out of business and replace it with an NFL franchise"? I think you've mistaken near-criminal incompetence and naïveté on the part of Khan for sinister intent.

Bang on the money!
Although I am of the opinion that signing this sort of petition does little more than give your information to marketing companies, I have still decided to sign it.
He will stay a while i recon. Fulham is a dying club. Not by bad luck, but by poor choices and indifference. I said Magath had no clue at the end of last season and he would damage the club hugely if he stayed. There were many Fulham fans who defended him, even now.. they are the ones that are responsible.
It's a sad situation, but one that at least makes sense. It is clear why Fulham went down and clear why there are problems now. The fans, conditioned to submissively pay ever increasing energy bills, an unfair TV licence, rip-off council taxes, increased food prices.. are hardly going to make a fuss about Fulham slipping quietly into the abyss. It is simply the way the country is. Look how long it took to get rid of Moyes even though he was devaluing Man U daily....
Posted earlier under KCat's bizarre defence of this fool, no, these fools who are destroying our club:
"As I see it, Magath is a a lethal combination of inconsistent buffoon and vicious megolomaniac who is totally unsuitable for modern-day management in any field.
I can only watch his bizarre antics with bemusement longing for the day that his unpleasant presence at our club is ended.
However, my real beef is with Macintosh, the man who hired Magath along with the hatful of other managers who have done so little on the field and so much to destroy the club we love.
Our upper management is the worst I have ever seen. We are in chaos. Unfortunately, it will have to get worse before it gets better. The only question is how much worse?
Macintosh is the real culprit. In entrusting the stewardship of the club to Macintosh, Kahn has also exposed himself as being out of his depth, lacking in knowledge and extremely naive. He doesn't seem to understand either football or the business of talent management. He has to bear responsibility for this too.
Meanwhile, as I was dashing this off in haste, Fulham have just conceded two goals to go 5-1 down at Derby."
Nogood "very hurtful, isit" Boyo
Signed. Fulham supporter since 1966 and deeply saddened by what is happening to my lovely club. I was deeply disappointed with the treatment of rene who was starting to turn things around. magath took us down and should go now, he cannot be allowed to create any more damage. Oh how I wish MAF was still here.
Signed... Was there any doubt?
I have never signed an online petition in my life, but I have signed this one. Sixty three years of following this club has come down to this. God save us.
Signed..... Frustrates me that he has quality/class players he isnt playing e.g. David, Ruiz, Mitro.

and that will make us stable?, 6 mangers in what less that 5 seasons, and what if the next one is no good, what would you want to do then. We have played 4 games out of 40 odd, 2 of them good and 2 of them bad. He has done what everyone on here wanted and that was to get rid of the team from last season and start again, time and time and time again the call was to get rid of the oldens and play the youngens , 4 games that's all, there recently have been teams promoted and being in the bottom 3 at Xmas and others that have lost their first 5/6 games, but no lets get our 6th manger in and see where that takes us.
I give up.. Change before it's too late. Signed
Can anyone post a link to someone in the club of this thread please....i know they read the forums.....but still i think the fans really need to be heard here.

How are the fans who defended him when he barely got started, responsible for our position? The fans have no choice in who starts and who doesn't. That is all up to Magath. So your reasoning behind "it's the fans who defended him's fault" is just nonsense. I'm not trying to get on your back, but I don't see how it can be the fans fault.

The thing about rumours, allthough how fun and exciting they can be, is that they are still rumours, and we can all make them ;)
I heard that Khan have made a bid for Jordan Rhodes and Will Hughes! Appearantly going for medical tomorrw!
Theres one started by me :D not trying to be an smartass its just I have to stop being excited about rumours regarding our club because if I start to believe Magath will be fired and the rumours about it, and I still see him as manager tomorrow I will be so devestated :(
I refuse to sign. Why?
1. Nobody is going to respond to this petition anyway.
2. We don't hire and fire people.
3. I don't agree that firing Magath will do anything. We were going to finish between 8th and 12th anyhow, and we still will.
How many times, in how many ways, and in how many threads will the same 30 people say the same things over and over?
1. That's a really poor attitude to have. I guess all the people on that site that make petitions for things better stop because it is 'pointless'. They can't fight for what they believe in to try and make a difference.
2. Yeah maybe not but I'm pretty sure if ticket sales start decreasing and the seats are becoming increasingly more empty then higher ups will take notice. So you actually can make a difference if you really want to. You can still support the team but not give a dime of your money towards them until they decide to straighten up.
3. I think it will. This guy has been poor since the end of last season. Now he's not even playing quality players. Ruiz, Tunniclife, Burn, etc. The list goes on really. I want someone who is open to trying new things and doesn't let their ego or the way they feel about certain players make it so that we have a harder time winning. In these last four games I have seen no tactical plan whatsoever. It's just a bunch of guys running on the field and kicking a ball around. They don't even try to shoot when they're around the goal. 8th or 12th really? Tell me at this moment of time who we are better than because I struggle to see it.
You don't have to sign it or like it. People are allowed to vent and express their concerns or praise what they believe is working well.

Article put out by Star...
Fulham boss Felix Magath admits he faces the sack if results don't pick up after Derby
Despite seeing his side thrashed by Derby, he claimed he is still the man to guide them back to the Premier League.
But it has been a disastrous start to the season, with four defeats in a row and it got worse as the Rams smashed five.
Magath admitted the scale of the defeat was unacceptable.
He said: "I am certain I can do this job. But circumstances can change in football and it is results that will change them for a manager.
"Derby are one of the best teams in this division and should be in the Premier League.
"It is OK to lose to such a team – but not in this manner."

People have the right to protest and if that means signing a petition to let their feelings be known then they should be able to do so. It might be repetitive to you but a lot of supporters are hurting and they're fed up with poor management. I thought your response was very condescending.
I have no problem with people venting here. I would rather people vent here and sign their petition then yell and scream at people at games or in real life.
Everyone needs an outlet. The team is doing awful currently. That doesn't mean we need to lose our heads and start going after other supporters for having a different view.

Well, there are over 100 signatures in the first 24 hours, so I guess there are more outside this MB that feel the same.
Iv'e tried looking beyond the madness to see if there was some method but after the team selected against Wolves I was convinced he had to go.
After the Derby game it made me think the man is doing it on purpose, he wants to get his pay off and return to a quiet life in Germany.
GO NOW!

I'd completely ignore Hatter. He comes onto almost all threads and goes against the grain to try and assert some sort of authoritative opinion. There's a few on here of a similar mentality of trying to be completely different.
As far as petitions go and fans making their own ways to be heard I'm all for them, can't be any worse than sitting on your arse in USA doing nothing but criticizing everyone else's efforts.

lets change the manager again and when that does not work change again
that really worked last season
Does anyone remember Alex Ferguson's first few months in charge he was 1 match away from the sack and that was with a lot better squad than we can afford
every time we lose a match we want to change the manager
I am not sure this guy is the right man for us but to keep changing managers has not done us a lot of good so far

It isn't even the fact that we can't buy a win, it's the manner in which we lose. We're going backwards under his reign and the stories coming out from players leaving and the attitude on the pitch from current players isn't one reassuringly that it's just a blip. His methods are way behind the times and he's frozen out our best players for unknown reasons.
You refer to us changing managers last season but we only wanted one manager out and that was Jol. Nobody asked for Rene to be sacked and that was a shock to everyone.

Just read this article in the standard. Interview with Khan and magath.
He isnt going anywhere it seems. Oh well.
Of the (very few, it appears) on this board who would be prepared to give Magath any more time, I wonder how many are Cottagers that have actually attended the matches at the Cottage this season ? My guess is few-to-none. [I am launching a one-person campaign to reclaim Cottager as a Fulhamist term.]
Reason: because if they had been at the ground, they would have witnessed the following tableau (amongst many other instances of cluelessness from the management). It's under 5 minutes into the second half against Wolves. Mousa Dembele is coming on as a sub. Woodrow and others (but particularly Woodrow) look to the bench for an indication as to what the formation is now to be. So little is forthcoming that Ross McCormack initially pulls back into the centre, behind Woodrow and Dembele, before - after some shrugging and gesticulation from the pitch (and, again, little from the bench) - he moves to the left wing. Here's the point. This was a *tactical* substitution made very shortly after the beginning of the second half. It had clearly *not* been discussed during half-time - hence the disjuncture and confusion on the pitch. To say the least, this was not a Hodgson team, where experienced players were schooled in a pretty-much-unwavering formation, but a team principally comprised of (very promising) young players with (to be generous about it) a fluid formation. To make a change like that without trailing it in advance to the players, and indicating how they should set up post-substitution, is just dumb.
[And that is leaving aside the utter brain-deadedness of this statement by Magath before the Wolves game: "If we have a good game and good result, we will not change so much. If we have no result, like on Saturday [the Millwall game], we have to change something."]
Please make him go. Please. This is worse than Sanchez. A lot worse. And I thought nothing could be worse than that.
The club aren't publicly backing him despite knowing that the fans are nearly unanimous in wanting him out.
If he was staying they'd issue a statement confirming the owner's backing so it must mean that they are sorting out his replacement. It must mean that mustn't it? It has to. Surely?
The club can't be sitting back doing nothing whilst we lose every game as support seeps away.
No competent management would......................oh
signed.
Signed Lets Hope its not in vain
Signed it the other day, although unless we lose at Brentford, which I don't want, we may be stuck with him.

Signed,bury the chump.
He has the sending off to hide behind today though. He'll be telling us we'd have won were it not for that...
