Title: Anyone else still angry about the Fotherigham deal from last year?
Post by: Wearethewhites on June 24, 2015, 08:14:25 PM
Nothing against the lad, and thanks for the small bit of effort he did put in, but he along with Kiraly should never have been anywhere near the squad last season.

Have you ever seen the Disney sensation that is Frozen by any chance? Let it go!

We were all annoyed but onwards and upwards

I'm sure his work ethic was great, but his skill level wasn't. Hopefully he made a few bob and does ok. It was a wrong move by us, hopefully the stick he got didn't get to him and that he didn't read this forum.

Absolutely. If ever there was a sign about how the season was going to go that was it.

Despicable signing from us. Apparently it was Grant's idea.

Like I said, nothing against the guy, hope he goes on to do well and made a few bob out of us. I just see it as pure arrogance by Magath, and whoever allowed him to pull that team apart like that and do what he did. I mean, Fotheringham, Kiraly, Chihi for Pete's sake. It's ok saying 'let it go' but it still leaves a bad tast in my mouth

Yes absolutely fuming!!!! - we should never have let him go. Kit should have built the team around him :022:

Totally know what you're saying. Let it go is the title of the theme song in the film so I was just playing on words. It is hard seeing the club fall to a low of having Chihi Fazlic Zverotic Kiraly etc but they are all gone now as is Magath. Despite me not being Kits biggest fan I think we can all sleep easy tonight knowing that Kit and Rigg wont make mistakes to that extreme.

Like you said Magath was arrogant

I agree with Danny though, we should move on........ i'm sure Fotheringham has... he's probably moved house as well thanks to his pay-day.

Let's bury this and encourage positivity.

I'm positively enraged still....but more by the fact someone let Magath near the club - after that the whole thing was like watching a car crash in slow motion! Anyway, feeling a little more positive this summer.......we're already 11th and level on points with those in the promotion spots according to the BBC league table.

Watch the new Touchstone movie:  "Strange Magic", it's much better than Frozen IMCP and includes a lot of old songs we all know. (Wild Thing, ELO, Love is strange, Can't help falling in Love etc)
And, if you 'indulge' in funny smokes (I don't) I'm sure you'll have a blast  :0)
Release date UK  28th August

No why would I be? He was written off before he played and didn't play more than an hour for us did he? If we are still getting worked up over him then god help us. He could have done well for us or could have been signed to help the youth as more of a coach/support role. If that is annoying you still what about the club's name changing from St. Andrews to fulham?

Imagine if you will a World where Fotheringham hadn't come to Fulham.


You see the world is no different and Fulham would still have been rubbish last season anyway.

I was told some of the detail of Fotheringham's deal by a good source last season. If it helps you put this sorry affair behind you, he was only earning a Div1 salary while he was with us. I think it was something around £2k a week, so comparative peanuts.

That is an absolute ridiculous statement. Players like Fotheringham, Kiraly, Chihi and even Fazlic, should have never even been allowed near Fulham Football Club. Granted, wasn't their fault, but those 4 alone could have supported the wages of 1, maybe 2 players that could have made a difference last season.

We were part rubbish due to signing players like the above, relying on youth, and pulling a squad completely apart that never needed doing. Plus, we had an idiot of a German in charge who thought he could redesign the Championship.

I still haven't got over leaving Eel Brook Common, just so long as we don't change the strip to white shirts and black shorts, or change the badge, then I should eventually get over it.

Other than Jazz Richards, pretty much everyone we have been linked with would be a decent acquisition.

dependant on what we lose though. lets say we get that striker in we was linked with, but then we lose ross. or say longregan isnt steks replacement but actually betts. and what if cairney turns out to be a replacement fot lvc.are they still good deals? hopefully it wont happen, but we know we have it in us to sell anyone. and as such an element of fear will remain with me untill window slams shut. but so far the signings are positive

Christensen is coming back off after a long time out injured. I doubt anyone would for him this summer. If we shift Ruiz and Mitroglou, I don't we will have to worry about losing anyone else. Its usually a good sign when we're buying players off rival teams in our division.

Yes, I am still angry about the Fotheringham signing. It typifies the insane governance of our club at that time. Picking up a mid-thirties, overweight, underperforming (in L1), unwanted player, who's only significant stat is the number of clubs who've ditched him within a year or so and has a reputation for trouble-making.

I have no ill-feeling towards Mark himself, but that signing was easily the worst we've made in my lifetime (no, he wasn't expensive, but it never made sense to bring him here for any money - whereas most of our other crap signings [Mitrog included] made some modicum of sense on paper at least and only disappointed after).

Oh calm down. I was one of the few who said we would struggle while others were wetting themselves about a quick promotion. Fotheringham alone made little difference. But it is obvious we signed the wrong players and had the wrong manager. Instead of being upset over the signing of one player I was upset for years about the way the club were going.

Just thank God things are slowly changing. Yes they are.

Not angry about this anymore as there really isnt any point in being so
