I do not tolerate the owners son in any shape or form.
Whether money is spent or not, I do not want this toxic, incompetent, brash arrogant individual anywhere near Fulham FC, and he can take his spread sheet with him.

If Shahid and Tony as DoF come as a package, as I am starting to believe they do then I will start to turn. We are not a toy. Thousands if not millions worldwide spending a considerable amount of time, money, and emotional energy each week in the hopes we will have something to cheer. We are not a game to be played by a rich kid with a bad attitude and other toys he prefers. It is a shame because Shahid has the potential to be a fantastic owner, if only he took a bit more interest.

Get rid of TK and if his dad won't ,he needs to sell the club!

we do not turn on them ever. they are noice people and committed to the cause.

but keeping TK in situ is a mega error of judgment. It is symptomatic of niut really understanding what is needed to run the club successfully.

I am sure the new stand will look good and have space for confrerences or whatever else curicular activities can take place there but in the end we are a football club and what happens on the pitch will determine our future.

With the exception of a very few, we all kno TK needs to step aside, not walk away but step aside for the common good. In the 7 seasons they have been in charge they have done what clough always hated, the amateurs have intefered with the profesionals, or in TK case simply failed to bring in the correct quality of professionals. Until TK steps aside and leaves team matters totally alone we will coontinue to decline. Other clubs have brought in plenty of players of the right quality (that doesn't guarantee success) but we simply have not brought in appropriate players. How oiften in the last 5 years have we called for quality center backs, another forward and a physical central midfielder who is absolutely essential if parkerball is to ever work. You simply cannot play this way without a tough uncomprimising central midfielder willing to intimadate the opposition.

I fear that next season we will not compete in the championship either and sooner or later our good fortune will turn.

at the risk of offending anyone, I think slav should have been given the whole season, it was a massive error to change him. The problem then was the squad, the chooping and changing of back four was through injury not design. the recruits were not good enough then, but these are alsoalready  looking out of their depths save for tete. Lookman looked ok for the few minutes we saw him and I will not judge on that but am optimistic.

When we tried to protest, they took away the banners.

Worldwide it is possible. There are a lot of people in this world. In truth I have no idea of the number, hence I put both.

I have nothing but praise for Shad Khan. he has supported the club financially for what is now approaching a decade (seems incredible).  His infrastructure investments in our training facilities and our ground will still be benefitting us long after he has moved on.  He also seems to be a genuinely decent man.

Neither do I have anything against Tony Khan on a personal level. he may or may not be brash or arrogant, I've never met him.  However his tweets and other communications are naive at best, often ill considered and occasionally downright destructive, he has a lot to learn to be a successful senior manager.  Even worse he is hopelessly ill qualified for the technical side of his job and is only in it as a result of nepotism which I personally have always detested in any walk of life.

I would never turn on them as people but I have long ago turned on TK as a DoF and if his father refuses to move him then maybe, just maybe I would begin to be critical of him as a Chairman.

No, i would suggest it is not. I have seen all sorts of made up and fabricated statements or "facts" over the last few days, but it's possible that this is the best.

Second try!   I agree with Twig. As an elder supporter going back to Tommy Trinder I recall some darker times with the likes of Clay, Miller and Bulstrode. Before Mr AlFayed the looming Fulham Park Rangers and being homeless and probably insolvent. In Mr Khan senior we appear to have a benefactor with a long term goal as evidenced by the Riverside. OK his son appears to be stretching himself too thinly and is in danger of repeating past mistakes. As for a new owner these pandemic times cause a dwindling pool of candidates. Mr Khan's empire being centred in the automotive industry will be hurting this will be echoed by other potential owners. So beware of what you wish for lest we end up with an unsavoury owner rather than a good one. Like all of usI suffer watching our recent displays but remember far worse. Senior did not make a fortune by not learning so I am hopeful that he will be looking at what is going on and take sage advice. I don't think that personal attacks on his son will make him look on the supporters with a favourable eye. How will this season pan out? I don't know all I know is that through it all I will continue to support Fulham

No, now is not the time to turn on our billionaire owners, the world is in financial crises and having the khans behind us gives us some peace of mind. No owner has ever put in the type of money the khans have on and off the field. Lose that and we could easily go the way of Bolton. I never want to have to see my kids putting their money into a Fulham 2050 bucket like a few of us older ones had to do a few decades back just to try and keep the club afloat. As bad as we are on the pitch it could be a whole lot worse and has been Before . I fear the struggles we used to have (Fulham park rangers anyone) have been easily forgotten or not really taken on board by our younger generations, and is something I do not ever want to have to go through
CHRIS MARTIN IS SO BAD,  WE NOW PRAISE HIM FOR MAKING A RUN.

Alright then mate, go ahead if it makes you feel happy and feel good about something neither of us can prove or disprove. Very strange thing to hang on to as it was throwaway figure on a brief post. But here have a clap, what an idiot I am lol.

I remember in the 2010 glory time we were described as "everyone's second favourite club".  That might well run into the six figures. And if not, so what? There are still a hell of a lot of us the world over.

TK's ego will not allow him to step down, his sad attempt at running the club is only correctable via his father Shahid Khan, who is the owner and chairman, daddy's got to fix it.


The Rational Fan

If the Khans leave, then QPR and Brentford will end up bigger clubs than us.

Shad Khan took over in July 2013, 7 years ago. that is 30% less than a decade and 42% more years needed to make a decade. so not nearly a decade. It seems incredible our team has gone so far backwards in that time. I cannot recall being so unemotional about the club. I used to think we could win every game, even when we were in the lower leagues playing a big team in the cup. Now I have no faith we will even compete, let alone win, you are right it seems incredible how that has happened.

As far as TK is concened he is a spectacular failure as a manager and is incapable of learning making the same mistakes over and over. If he was any good he would step aside.

The Khan's are to be applauded for the investment but if the teamis unsuccesful, and it is, then in the long run the investment will be wasted. there are plenty of team in the lower leagues with shiny new stadiums and massive debts. They may be nice people but they have us pointed in the wrong direction. The nepotism you say is wrong ois the problem and needs to be dealt with or it wll really be a long road back this time.

they have taken the fun out of it.

Serious question then.

Why did MaF sell, and why to the Khans?

I have read so many times recently how were this great club until the Khans bought us. If we were such a catch, then why did MaF sell?


Logical is just in the name - don't expect it has anything to do with my thought process, because I AM the man who sold the world.

No one except MAF himself can answer that question but one assumes after 16 years and going from a poor third tier team to European Cup finalists, he lost interest and/or thought he'd taken us as far as he could (at least, without throwing a lot more money at the club)

In Shahid Khan, you had someone who was prepared to throw several hundred million in new cash at the club and to continue the development of the Riverside Stand. The perfect successor.

What no one knew is that money would be put in the hands of an absolute novice and squandered.
