Seems a bit of a cheek to say that Magath is not the right man for the job, when he thought that Jol was for so long.

Of course Mo won't be back. BUT the club is now probably only worth half what Khan paid for it as we are now a championship club, so Mo is offering the going rate.

Yes Mo did stop 'investing' money in the team in his last couple of years. BUT Khan should have done proper due diligence when he bought. Had he done so he would have seen the need to replace half the team. It was not too late then. But he did nothing other than bring in more deadwood on the cheap. By the time Khan finally saw what everyone could see long before, he started panic buying in January.

I place the blame for our current situation firmly on Khan's shoulders.

Don't blame Khan. Blame the management team.

Starts at the top, all are to blame.

I agree.

Me too!

What I find quite extraordinary about this is, is that Khan is clearly an intelligent successful businessman who has made loads of money.

When he was considering buying Fulham who did he get advice from? As has been mentioned what due diligence was carried out - surely this would have revealed the state of the playing squad and if his advice had been of a footballing nature this would have highlighted the need to invest and invest heavily to ensure survival.

Maybe he bought the club on a purely business/investment basis and has plans for us - nice casino by the Thames perhaps or some luxury apartments on the ground and we move somewhere else??

Who knows what was/is going on, we can only wait and see.

criticising someone must be the easiest thing to do in the world. i wish mo would come back. everybody knows if it wasnt for him we would have never seen the highs.

What to walk across the pitch and squeeze money out of the club while running down the squad?

He was the best thing that very happened to the club but he didn't do it for FFC or us he did it for himself. We had a great ride and are clearly much better off than before the ride started.

However you have to be of limited intelligence not to see how his actions of the last 2 years put us at real risk of relegation and all because he wanted to add another 20-30m to his c2billion fortune.

who has unlimited intelligence?

To those who disagreed with my comments about Mo, I stand by them. The main reasons we are in the Championship is the lack of investment and the hiring of Jol. Khan can hardly be blamed for that. Perhaps he should have gotten better advice before buying the club . To be fair, on paper we were not that bad and the lack of debt had to be attractive. If Rene or Felix had started the season as manager we would have stayed up and one can wonder if keeping Jol was a financial consideration. As someone else said, there is plenty of blame to go around. Mo wanted to rid himself of the club and he did. Khan wanted a relatively inexpensive way to get into the Prem and he got his wish for one season. He should and will be judged by what happens next season.
