Fulham and Shahid Khan look for answers with League One abyss nearing

[clarkey]

Last two posts are spot on. The problem with having an absentee no-nothing chairman is that it is insidious, it encourages the rest of the staff to doubt themselves and their know-how. The club then starts spiralling downwards. It gets worse when the owner puts in a manager like Rigg (he is a manager, he manages the football side of things for him)who is way out of his depth.He kids himself and the owner that they know best....and of course we can clearly see they know virtually nothing, they are simply not wise.

It's tragic but we need a new owner and a new director of football. The players we have are fine...they just need proper coaching. Look at how good Pringle looks for Ipswich.It is a sad sad mess.And THE GUARDIAN SEES IT CLEARLY unlike any other national paper and points the finger exactly at the right targets.The owner and Rigg.

Whatever Shahid Khan is doing, he's doing it wrong. He should cut his losses and find someone else to buy this club.

Regrettably, that isn't going to happen so now we will just end up in a unhappy owner/fan relationship.

Lets see what Tony Khan's formulas bring us this summer!

MAF offered to buy the club back, for 1/10th of what he got for it.

Further to the excellent article in the GUARDIAN (how can you hate such a purveyor of truth?) I was reminded of an article some years back about absentee football club owners.

"If you own a football club you have to be really involved and committed."

"That is very important and it's the same in business."

"You have to be really caring and show people you really care".

These were just a few of the quotes that appeared in a GUARDIAN interview (11.5.10) with Mohamed Al Fayed six years ago.

The headline of the piece summed it up nicely.

"It's difficult for an owner to show true love if you are far away".

And of course Mr Khan is a long, long way, away.
