I think the khans are very poor

Any way you look at this they made a very poor decision
It's not the first time.
They run the club as an amateur enterprise
They charge us ludicrous prices and do not have a team of top professionals running the football side.

Anybody that has ever run a successful business knows that when you make an obvious error, you fix fast, otherwise you compound the error and make matters far worse.

There is no point in keeping AA because whatever the score in the next two games he will fail. I have seen enough third managers at the club over the years to know one when I see one and this guy is really wrong for Fulham.

In not dealing with this now they failing in their duty as custodians of the club.

That is my opinion based on 60+ years of supporting, having had an unbroken season ticket all that time..... And I have been very unwell recently, this is not helping my morale watching the ownership sleepwalk to disaster.

I feel we have very human owners.

I feel they have improved a lot since the initial takeover but there's definitely still work to do.

It'll be interesting how they react to this start because the track record of picking managers is not very good, and the last time they were rash and sacked the manager early in the premier league, we ended up going through 3 managers and got relegated. So, this will be in their mind when making a decision.

Overall though, I am quite happy with our owners. This will be a big season though, I always believed replacing silva was going to be difficult.

Snibbo

Apart from the stunning new stand, establishing us as a solid mid-table team (well, until now anyway), and pouring mega millions of Shad's money into transfers, yes, what have they ever done for us ?

SK is doing more than fine (except for putting his son as the DoF), his son though...

Actually, other than getting mega lucky with Marco, they have been poor. They only ended up with three managers because they kept appointing dreadful managers. Their instance on not getting a proper squad together in good time, not realising, unlike the rest of the football world, That Marco was off to Benfica was more than astonishing. Missing the opportunity over and over to improve whilst Marco was manager by not having a professional approach to transfers remains incredible.

MAF showed how do it properly (and I know he is now disgraced) by bringing in top people and let them get on with it.

what is going on is ridiculous.

But as I say, I am offering my opinion based on being extremely hacked off at the obvious error is allowed to stand.

That is the point, it is what he is allowing apart from a whole heap of other stuff... he is in charge and we are like the titanic heading for an iceberg and he is not changing course.

Can't believe what I hear,yes he has put lots of money in the club but looking at the relegations and managers we have employed and keep pushing his son who hasn't got a clue how to manage a football club and never watches us on a regular basis.If we had someone who works full time running the club perhaps we would have a wellrun club,and remember with munis and the Spaniard we won't score enough goals and the young swede 3m loan and 5m fee just suits the under 21s boys football who the boy wonder on his computer.It's obvious we are going down let's hope we get more than 11points to get the worst points total in the premier league that's not a record we want to have,the chairman needs to make the right decision or sell up and think back when he bought the club he nearly bought wembley what would have happened to us I feel relegation he will stop funding us.

Disagree wholeheartedly with your last statement. The khans have invested the maximum amount allowed in pretty much every single season in the championship. Im quite sure I saw a metric that showed its only the last two seasons (premier league seasons) in which the full 35 million wasnt invested.

Shahid Khan has been mostly a very good owner, except for the way he has given his son far too much influence at the club.

Tony Khan... He shouldn't be anywhere near anything football related. He clearly doesn't have the necessary qualifications for the job. Also, he's an embarrasment to the club IMO. How many other clubs have DoFs who go into the ring with "men in tights" and pretend to get beaten up...? Have you all seen these videos on youtube???

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cTUVOOQUSVo

Cringeworthy would be an understatement... Don't get me wrong, I (sort of...) understand that he's just promoting his wrestling franchise, but he can't expect to be taken seriously as a DoF in a Premier League club when he spends his time dangling upside down with his face in a guy's crotch...

If MAF had had his way he would have moved us out of CC and made a tidy profit on selling the land at least SK has ensured we will be playing football at CC for many years to come. Throughout MAF's time he could easily put in as much money as he wanted as there were no restrictions SK can only invest what he is allowed to do.

MAF lost interest after Hamburg and tightened the purse strings. I think SK could have done a bit more due diligence when buying and probably was a bit blinkered in buying a London football club. Mistakes were made along the way but for every manager appointed there is an argument as to why even Magath.

Wembley was always going to about giving the Jags a London home and he bought the land opposite MP to build a trining ground for that purpose. The old farts at the FA scuppered Wembley with im sure Daniel Levy's encouragement.

We are in a bit of a tight spot at the moment but I don't feel that it isn't anything we can't get out of. It's a long season and plenty of points to play for.

And what is so shocking about a father given his son a job in the family business? Kids have to start somewhere. TK is always going to be a marmite person. Personally I don't give a monkeys if he lives in this country the US or Aus or if he has other business interests. He won't be the only one making decisions about the club. And it's not as if he is spending the fans £millions. SK has done a lot for this club and will pour many more £millions down the drain which he will never get back.

They can pour as much money in as they like and build an oversized overpriced building by the river blocking my view of the river, and spend over the odds fortunes on underperforming players as much as they want BUT they got lucky with Marco who knew what he was doing but under every other manager, we have been poor, maybe not Slav but they managed to sabotage him.

This appointment was obviously wrong and I can cope with an error, but what needs doing is to fix it.

I have not found a way to fix my typo but once I do I'll correct it, however I am more worried by the lack of proper forward line and the manager's faith in  player that has so little impact and missed two relatoively straightforward chances on Saturday last.

Think is, he wouldn't have had to pour away so much money had better decisions been made.

Fayed, as far as I am aware, wanted to flog CC to fund a larger stadium at White City. I was dead against it as attending at CC was always massive to me as it's where I grew up. Don't get along so much now to be honest though.

Had SK got Wembley, I reckon FFC would have moved there. Just my opinion.

Actually, what MAF said was to kick on we needed a bigger stadium and wanted to move to White City. The fans kicked off about that, none of us wanted to leave the Cottage, and MAF decided to keep us at Craven Cottage, I recall his words being that Fulham fans love the ground more than success. He then reigned in the investment for sure but we were still relatively safe and secure, but he was getting older and clearly not as healthy as he once was.

That's not what we have here, this is just bad management.

I'm not anti Khan's by any means, but I do feel you're missing a rather erratic beginning to their tenure no? So I'd say, as much as I'm thankful for some absolutely wonderful memories, I'm less grateful for the high blood pressure of relegations and times under say, Felix Magath  :slap:

Wouldn't it be really boring supporting the Arse or Citeh expecting to win every week and winning trophies. We certainly get value for money supporting Fulham.

Given the size of our crowd I don't think moving to Wembley would have been a realistic option. Maybe for a couple of season if the Hammy and Putney Ends were re built but wouldn't make sense financially long term.

I think you try to drum up a crowd. Charge relatively cheap prices and punters will turn up. Not exactly a Fulham crowd to be honest but a way to increase interest and support.

Currently, for a lot of games, it's sky high ticket prices aimed at tourists and day trippers. Not just Fulham either. Problem will be that you can't charge those prices in Championship.
