"What Alexis said is factually correct"

No it isn't when it comes to "little to no investment during his last few years". I give you the same advice as I gave him - check your facts, plus another piece of advice - read carefully what Alexis wrote ie "last few years", which on any reasonable construction covers at least three.

Did MAF pump money in during the last season when he was obviously trying to find a buyer? No. But to say he did not invest significantly over "his last few years" is plain ignorance.

The cause of the decline we have experienced since the Club was sold is solely attributable to the poor judgements made by Khan - the delayed sacking of Jol, the brief experiment with Rene, the appointment of Magath (not least its timing), the criminal waste of money on the Greek and the otherwise lack of investment when we were in the Premiership, and his failure to recognise that, although Kit had steadied the ship, by the end of the 2014/15 season there was ample evidence for those with eyes to see that Kit was hugely limited and that a change was needed then if we were to have any serious chance of promotion in 2015/16. So far Khan has been disasterous as our owner - we can only hope he gets the next managerial appointment right.

Just splash the cash and get Moyes and McKinley.
No compensation there.
Deal to end of season with big kicker for promotion.
Please?

yes

Al Fayed never messed around like this.

And left us with an ageing squad with little to no investment during his last few years in order to recoup or even make a profit from the club.

Whatever..... 1500.gif

I really can,t believe people criticise maf, he was brilliant for this club, if he wanted to get some of his money back good luck to him, we had more than he ever took back.

Rowett on Talksport this morning and they asked him about the Fulham and QPR jobs and he basically said both big club ex premier league but is focus on Birmingham, did I deflect that well enough haha. Which means to me he happy to move if the right offer comes in as didnt state he was staying at Birmingham or not interested in either job

Mark Warburton has become second favourite on the odds. Would we be happy to have him as our manager or what. Won't happen though. Bookies toying with us.

Only a new, newish or no fan would make such a stupid comment. No respect for what Al Fayed did for us

That's right, What MAF did for us puts him alongside Haynes as beyond any criticism.

[Berserker]

Can we get back on track of discussions on new manager and leave MAF arguements to another day.

Al Fayed did everything a responsible owner should do. Cleared the debt while still provided for the team. It is a shame that Jol and Macintosh wasted the budget on high wages for stagnant players.


Think at this stage they will give it to Peter Grant.

[aaronmcguigan]

Why is anyone surprised at all this? What decent experience does Rigg have in selection, recruitment and director of football level? None!
Rigg is being allowed to have all encompassing control of something he's never controlled before by an owner who hasn't owned a soccer ball club before.

If you haven't a clue, surround yourself with those who know what to do. Seems rule 1 of football club for dummies has been ignored

Really? I don't think so after this latest effort

Nope, it was Wigley.

[NogoodBoyo]

Huw Jennings and Steve Wigley to sort out the management in the mire that is Fulham.

We can take McClaren after he's sacked by Newcastle after another dreadful lost

wouldn't be the worst idea...

YAY!!! 100 PAGES!!!

And nearly 80,000 views. They are awaiting 100,000 views before appointing someone. I knew there was some logic to the waiting
