Anyone else heard rumours that Rigg flew to Israel, got a yes from Jokanovic, then went for Clarke impulsively?

If so, big big error from Rigg..

this is 100% not true

Rumours rumours rumours. The only one we can be fairly certain about is the approach to Clarke . And there we don't know who said no to who .

All the others ???

Not saying its true, heard it from a friend who works in the game.

Maybe it's bs, maybe not.

But I'd be very surprised if they hadn't approached him at all.

Just curious.

Sadly, our approaches have been made incredibly public which has dented this whole procedure awfully.

Pearson, Clarke, Rowett, Warburton etc.

Advocaat and Seedorf have both gone under the radar with their odds falling and online rumours Fulham staff are in Holland trying to sort something.

Could be interesting..

[Hoppus]

Any source on the Rigg in Holland story? Link?
I just got a message from a friend saying that he observed Sven Goran Eriksson at Heathrow, christmas shopping?

[Adi-ffc]

Predictably snide responses.

I phrased it as a question...

Fair enough, guess we're all jaded by this

[Chutney]

I really hope we appoint someone good enough to make those criticizing the club think twice in future. Then maybe we can start supporting again....

@SkySportsLyall: #FulhamFC no closer to hiring a new head coach. Club have confirmed Peter Grant will take Thursday press conference #FFC.

What I find amazing, is that #FulhamFC knew Symons had until second intl break to be in top-6, yet no replacement was lined up #FFC

You and all of us, Lyall, you and all.....

[Wearethewhites]

What a complete and utter joke..

Sadly symptomatic of the shambolic way the club has been run in the last couple of years.

[ROKERITE]

Advocaat isn't going to go to Fulham and would be a crazy choice even if he was interested.
Seedorf would be a very exciting appointment. I'd certainly rather he went to Fulham than replaced McClaren at Newcastle, which has been mooted. He could be a second, and better, Tigana and if he is I don't want him proving how brilliant he is with the toon-toons.

[Barry White]

As good a player as he was I don't know what he'll be like as a manager. to my knowledge Seedorf has only managed in that short spell in Milan? That didn't exactly go well either, not a disaster by any means but nothing to get excited about.

23 days without a manager/head coach. We are now officially above the average time it normally takes

The Hahas have gone 27 days

Kit has just been on Sky Sports. Nice interview. He did not have a bad word to say about the Club. Sad that he was not given more time as everyone knew it would take time to mend the mess he inherited. He said he knew the target set & felt that he didn´t miss it by much but that´s football. Said the club need to appoint the right man as soon as possible.

Came out of the interview with dignity.

Kit did come out of his interview well on Sky Sports this morning. Is it a coincidence that Avram Grant is now on Sky Sports now having just arrived back from Ghana.  I expect he is hovering for the Newcastle job or perhaps us!!

he is a great club man and I'd love to see him stay with us, as unlikely as it is.
