Merged threads: Appointment of Felix Magath

[davew]

Whatever next, the club is in a shambolic state!!!

[Rhys Lightning 63]

Apparently he's the first German manager in the history of The Premier League. So at least that's one bit of history coming out of today

Welcome to everyone on this fabulous forum  :Haynes The Maestro:

It really is the top forum I have ever visited because it is properly moderated.  Well done all.
Brought up in Lillie Rd and been a Fulham fan since about 1964.  I've been following the ups and downs on FOF for five years but only registered in the last couple of days.  Love René Meulensteen and look what happens   1500.gif  

We certainly seem to be doomed but here's a quote from Wikipedia that might bring hope:

Wolfsburg equalled the longest winning streak in one Bundesliga season with 10 successive victories. They also became the only team in the Bundesliga to have had two strikers scoring more than 20 goals each in one season.

Ring any bells?

And BTW don't forget this bloke actually won the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg!

That's the hope. That he can win the championship here too

Exactly my point.
You still with us then?  :54:

Maybe Klinsmann can come in as his No 2, and after a defeat to WBA we can sack Felix and promote Jurgan to "head coach"

[Julius Geezer]

A massive gamble!

Just when it looked like everyone was pulling in the same direction!

Now we've got a manger who will have to bring his new ideas across, new system, get to know the players/players get to know him etc.

I can't see this benefitting us at all.

The new transfers were just bedding in, it was a productive transfer window - I mean Rene didn't even get to use Mitroglou!

We've taken the complete piss out of Rene!

If this panic button appointment works, it could turn out to be a superb decision.

On the other hand - and most likely - we set the team back again and lose our direction.

He might of been in Bundesliga relegation scraps but he hasn't done it in the Premier League!

I will give the team my maximum support, no matter who we appoint - we need to stay up.

But if this goes pear-shaped - Mackintosh has to go!

[Humbled]

Had a feeling something was happening. Normally Rene is very passionate when he comes out of the tunnel but against Liverpool he seemed very subdued.

Nope. I plan to be with you here in the PL. ;-)

There might be another one, has a team ever had 3 managers in one season?

[rusty shackleford]

He drinks tea at his pressers. I like it

I hope thats a White Mao Feng or a nice Camomile, Felix

[Fulham Joe]

I think we've made a bloody ridiculous decision to sack Rene Meulensteen at this stage.
The way we were going I think we had a chance of staying up, but now I think we are ferked.
I've not read the other 10 pages so I don't know what the general feeling is, but I'm disgusted with the people in charge.
If you appoint a manager you have to give him time to do the job, and we clearly haven't done that.
There's not been many times that I've felt ashamed to be a Fulham supporter, in fact I don't think it's ever been the case, until today!

[Julius Geezer]

There was rumours that Rene needed a win from the last 2 games or face the sack.

Can't believe those rumours held truth!

They should've at least waited until after the West Brom game to take such drastic measures!

Well, I mean...  even if that's the case, it's not JUST the United and Liverpool games, it's also Southampton and Sheff Utd and Sunderland and Hull.

Why? Perfect timing really, fa cup weekend so he has a whole week to get use to the players. I do feel sorry for Rene I liked him a lot but we can't keep going like this, something had to change

Oh please let that be true.

Well I hope so but what sort of info is that?
Maggie wants his own boys surely.
"Being reported"?  Weasel words.  :031:

No chance, listen to his quotes.

Our statement: not one mention of Rene or thanking him for trying to pick up the prices that Jol left us in.
Macintosh is becoming an embarrassing joke IMO.

Because that is game of huge importance!

If we aren't beating the teams around us - something drastic needs to be done.

That is a game we could of won and won quite easily under Rene if we showed the application we did in the last 2 games.

Thank you.

Even if this guy comes in, we do well, we stay up, everyones happy - people will forget what Rene has actually done for us.
