Title: 34 Days
Post by: C Block on April 20, 2026, 01:07:40 PM
34 Days until our final home game of the season,
And so much to be done in such a short space of time .
34 Days to find out what's going on with Marco Silva
34 Days to find out what's going on with Harry Wilson
34 Days to find out what's going on with season ticket prices
None of the above can be allowed to drag on into the summer ☀️
34 Days is such a short amount of time and the clock is already ticking
Tick Tock

34 days to find a spark and win a few games!

Also a lot more than 34 days to ensure the process of recruitment for next season is ready to act quickly and be effective!  ::wink::

As an aside, doesn't time fly. No time since I was looking forward to the first game of the season and suddenly we have only a few left.

I don't worry about any of that stuff

Fulham will do what Fulham will do

I'm currently in Chile and went to see Colo Colo last night who lost 1-0 to Palestino
Great atmosphere $20 tickets and I had a bovril type drink at half time

Viva Palestino

On season ticket prices, I've done a rapid skim through the other 19 clubs' websites and other published information. It seems that 12 clubs have either signalled their intentions about ST price increases or already have STs for next season on sale.

FFC are in a group of eight who I don't believe have published anything about ST prices or when they will go on sale. So at this stage we are not alone!

There is nothing that the club can do about the contracts.

Both are contracted to the club and the club can do no more than offer new contracts to those employees that they wish to retain.

It is down to the employees to sign those contracts when they are ready, or to run their contracts down and walk away., The employees are under no obligation to signal their intent to the club before their contracts run out.

I don't know why people are struggling so much with this concept.

The direction it is heading with all the unidentified creatures and vermin living in them. It is more likely the
Hammersmith Bogs will probably end up demolishing the rest of the ground.

So then, if I've got this right, according to you Marco Silva should be allowed to take until June 30th to announce whether or not he wants to manage Fulham next season?
I'm not sure that's right 🤔

I don't believe people are struggling with the concept but they are understandably expressing their concerns that Silva hasn't publicly stated his intention for next season. Supporters are invested in their team, its future ambitions and want clarity on the manager situation which is reasonable IMO.

It may not be morally right but under contract law he could indeed wait until the last day unless there is a specific requirement in the terms of his contract to give prior notice.  And even if there were I'm not how enforceable that would be.

He can wait as long as he likes it doesn't mean the Club have to as AFC Bournemouth have just demonstrated, Iraola is contracted to June 30th same as Silva.
