A Message From The Chairman

[keithh]

What a lovely seasonal message from Shahid.

Even though we drew yesterday it felt like a real plus as I did not expect to get an away point & now look forward positively to the Boxing day match.

It's not easy being a Fulham supporter over the years (born in East London, then moved out into Essex) but have noticed that the word "Fulhamish" doesn't appear as much as it used to although I'm hoping to use it at the end of the season when we end up in tenth place.

lovely message. he should turn up a bit more often and lead from the front.

[FFCSteve]

It always amazes me how people can find negativity.
The way I read it is he is prepared to spend again in the window. What more do people want?
He's obviously happy owning our club, and I for one like him! He has spent big, we have the riverside project on the go! He has put his money where his mouth is so far!
Happy Christmas mr chairman!

[alfie]

I wish he'd stop saying things like how grateful and "honoured" he is and what a privilege it is to be "serving as your Chairman"

I'm happy we have a decent owner but its his money that bought him the right to be in control, nobody voted him in and he's not working for you and me or doing this as a duty!

Have you ever considered that maybe he is. I remember MAF saying words like that, did you have those thoughts about him?

He lives in America, not down the road in Surrey

[Woolly Mammoth]

Oh, the cynicism !

FWIW, I like the man (and his millions).  Would we all rather not have a very rich owner ?

I would rather have a rich Association Footballing owner who does not give his son a key role at Fulham FC his son is not qualified to be responsible for.

Did/do we have the luxury of such a choice ?

No I am afraid we did not unfortunately, nevertheless I can still wish.  As for his sons roll in all this. That is one of a number of errors of judgement the owner has made so far, and too many for comfort.

Has to be the best  051 in the Premiership. Hope he and you lot have a good Christmas too.

Poor bloke can't win with some of our fans ( can't call them SUPPORTERS ) , he is crucified for NOT communicating and FOR communicating . COYW

[SuffolkWhite]

Nice message and he aint Earnie Clay which is a real bonus.

Khan could donate a £ million to homeless charities, find a cure for cancer, give every ST holder a free ticket and some on here would find fault.
Can't you guys give it a rest for Christmas at least?

[Slaphead in Qatar]

He seems confident we will get out of this. The Newcastle performance gave me a lot of confidence. I think we have the right manager now.

[Steven Ageroad]

Thank you Mr Khan, Merry Christmas to you to. Fulham Football Club may be his "train set" but I'm happy with him.

[Holders]

He seems confident we will get out of this. The Newcastle performance gave me a lot of confidence. I think we have the right manager now.

I felt he made some positive comments about recruitment. Reason to be hopeful.

As to his message, I take it at face value. I've commented in the past that he doesn't seem to communicate that much so I'm not going to criticise him when he does.

[Pluto]

Nice message and sounds like he's prepared to give Ranieri the financial backing he needs in the January window which can only be good news for us

[Samsara]

I wish he'd stop saying things like how grateful and "honoured" he is and what a privilege it is to be "serving as your Chairman"

I'm happy we have a decent owner but its his money that bought him the right to be in control, nobody voted him in and he's not working for you and me or doing this as a duty!

Wow.

[The Old Count]

Excellent message from our genuine and sincere Chairman.

[elgreenio]

you've only got to go and watch a few episodes of "Sunderland til I die" to understand we've got a good owner here. Hints at money being spent in the window which is welcome.

Only surprise is that he didn't mention the Riverside Stand.

[davew]

Well this chairman is prepared to put his money where his mouth is that is for sure, just a shame that he gives his son the freedom to see how it is spent.
That sounds most ungrateful but I am really upset about that wasted £100m spent in the summer. We have never seen spending on that scale at Fulham before.

And we haven't often seen us bottom of a league after promotion the previous season, so super spending doesn't work!!!!

Excellent message from our genuine and sincere Chairman.

I am now suffering from nausea, normally I can contain my motions and emotions, but your posting is the funniest and I hope intended as the most sarcastic posting I have seen this season! Hope you have sent him a Christmas Card and the latest copy of Football Manager or whatever that game is advertised as these days, or better still a book on how to recruit a football scout, I had better stop here, I do appreciate that he has no value of money when it comes to investing in players. Hopefully the next 100m will produce a return on his investment!

[The Enclosurite]

Proof is in the (Christmas?) pudding.  See you in May, Shahid.
