Fulham on 22:02 - May 10 with 3442 views | barbicanranger | That was brutal viewing. Burnley, as expected, weren't brilliant. Just stronger and seasoned at getting the job done at this level, a premier league vulture if you will. Always a little harder coming up as the playoff team IMO. I imagine they will challenge next season. Will be interesting to see what happens with WBA and Big Sam. | ![](/images/avatars/2201.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Fulham on 22:18 - May 10 with 3352 views | BostonR | They are loaded with loan players who haven’t got them over the line. If they have all of their previous Championship squad they will be strong but will they be motivated? Parker got them up so I assume they will stick with him for next season.

Not sure about that. We need a complete rebuild (again) as we started with 6-7 loanees most weeks, and had very little real quality on the bench. If Tony Khan is still our DOF then I look forward to us signing no-one until 3 minutes before the deadline and completely failing to address our most obvious needs. I would be very happy with a play-off place. It’s been a weird old season - looked completely out of our depth at the start, actually signed some decent defenders on deadline day, became one of the most defensively-solid teams in the division for a couple of months, whilst also playing some nice stuff, and then completely lost our way over the past couple of months. The only constant was the lack of attacking threat throughout. We seldom looked like a side with more than one goal in us. Nine goals at home says it all. Having Khan fuc king things up as DOF makes it difficult to judge whether Parker just doesn’t know how to produce incisive, attacking football or whether our lack of threat was the result of signing a load of players lacking the intelligence or ability to create problems for defenders. My preference would be to find out by getting a proper DOF in ASAP and giving Parker a chance to prove his doubters wrong. On the good news front, our club are only charging £40 for the 2,000 fans who can be ar sed to watch our last game against Newcastle. Nice gesture. | ![](/images/avatars/6543.gif) |

I don't follow the Prem much these days but it does seem a bit of a problem to have so many loan players that you didn't have in the Championship. It's asking a massive amount to expect a team to hit the ground running with a scratch team, as we saw here early on in the season. And when you're starting out in the Prem you need to be able to pick up points from day one. Maybe you need to have a team that's not just designed to win the Championship but can also have a chance in the Prem. I must admit that on the few occasions I have seen you play, you've played some nice stuff, generally against the better teams though. I don't know what you were like against Palace, Burnley or Brighton. A lot of the smaller clubs that hang on seem to play pretty attritional football. I'm not sure it's worth it. But the standard in the Championship is a whole lot lower in terms of beating other teams. I don't think there's a team we couldn't beat if we were playing our best football. Maybe Barnsley was our hardest opponents just because they're style of football tends to negate ours. You might be pleasantly surprised at how well you do. But I'd imagine you will need to sort your squad out early in the close season. It's such an advantage to have a good start as we know to our cost. | ![](/images/avatars/16746.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

We may find a few more teams adopting the "Fulham strategy" We certainly mastered the getting promoted and sign a load of mercenaries on eye watering contracts only to come back down and have to try and off load the rubbish no one wants By taking up loan options and hoping that they are better equipped to survive than the team that got you there. It may buy you time develop a strong squad over a couple of seasons and then get established and try and push on... if pushing on in the Premier means surviving OK it never worked this time but I think it maybe quite a cute strategy. Or it just may mean no one wanted to go there and the only option they had was loaning. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

Although we have a chance of replacing you it won’t be the end of the world if we blow out yet again in the play offs.I watched the game last night and thought Burnley would slaughter us and they are a bottom 6 PL side.I have to wonder if it’s worth the embarrassment of getting to this promised land (that hardly ever is for most clubs )where all the talk is money and spunking it on average players.This season has been crap for fans like myself who goes to at least 90% of games H and A but we have performed well and exceeded my expectations after selling 2 top players and like other clubs losing key players to injuries although the standard this season has been poor. I would take the same next season in the championship as along with it being a fantastic league ,propping up the PL and getting battered most weeks doesn’t appeal to me.Unless you are a big club with wealthy owners what’s the point.Fulham have a very wealthy owner so they should be able to compete with at least half of these teams and as they have before become an established PL side.I expect them and maybe West Brom to occupy top 2 places next season after that it’s all down to survival for many championship clubs as there will be many clubs with financial issues to resolve post covid.

This. Man. Is. Our. Director. Of. Football. He also runs a wrestling company and an NFL franchise. So, just the three jobs to concentrate on. The policy of filling the first XI with loanees wasn’t deliberate - Khan actually said this before last season began: “We get two [Premier League] loans and I can’t be in the business of developing other people’s players when they don’t have time to play them.” We now have to have yet another complete rebuild or rely upon squad players, who even if we get promoted, won’t be suitable for the PL, so will see us needing another complete rebuild at the end of the season. I love the Championship and prefer it to the PL, but it’s still frustrating watching a clown making the same mistakes every fuc king window. Barry Fry said we were in for Toney but asked to wait until deadline day to do the deal. Not saying Toney would have made much difference, but to go into a PL season with Mitro as our only CF was unbelievable, especially as Mitro had hardly scored millions last time we were up. If Tony Khan’s dad wasn’t a multi-billionaire, and instead worked as a plumber, is there a football club anywhere in the world that would employ Tony Khan as DOF? You know your owner is insanely wealthy when he can throw hundreds of millions at an ‘investment’ and then have his clearly incompetent son run the show. We were in the Pl for 13 years before the Khan’s took over - three relegations in seven seasons now under Khan. | ![](/images/avatars/6543.gif) |

But in the last 25 years of largely lower league football (22 of them I think) I would have regretted not having the chance to see us in the final game against Man City, the 3-2 comeback against Liverpool, the subsequent wins against Spurs, Arsenal, Swansea and the last minute winner v Stoke. Some great memories of League One days, or the second half of them but 17 of the 19 years of championship football have largely been a blur, a good day out rather than a football event.

Well done on getting a ticket for next week, mate. I hope you enjoy it. No offence, but I'm obviously hoping Brentford don't go up - that and Chelsea winning the CL would be the icing on the cake! Pi ssing about at the bottom, being a bit sh it in the PL isn't much fun, but Leeds, Wolves - even Sheff Utd the previous season - have shown that it doesn't have to be that way. And there is something great about beating any of the wealthiest clubs, on the odd occasion it happens. But ultimately, I just want my team to be competitive in a competitive division. I got a thousand times more enjoyment being neck-and-neck for promotion all season with Wigan, Carlisle and Swansea in the 4th division, than I ever got from finishing 12-16th in the PL. From the outside it might seem a bit entitled to moan about Shad Khan - he's spent a fortune and not loaded debt on the club, and the new stand makes it less likely that we'll ever leave the Cottage - but it is incredibly frustrating watching a rich man indulge his son, even though he's proven himself to be completely out of his depth. | ![](/images/avatars/6543.gif) |

They have had a weird season in this weirdest of seasons.

Fulham on 10:01 - May 11 with 2382 views | terryb | Firstly, well done to switchingcode on getting to see a game. Now, a couple of questions for Konk. Looking in from the outside I don't expect Fulham to sack Parker, but is there a chance (realistically) that Parker will resign? Is the Fulham side that is being relegated (after the return of the loanees) any better than the team that limped over the promotion line last season? I would imagine that he would not view the prospect of having to rebuild Fulham with any great enthusiasm. Especially building the bridges with Johansen & any other player that he deemed as not good enough for The Premier. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Good lord. He looks like a teenager of rich parents, who left him home alone a lot whilst they went out on the lash, and all he did was stay up late binging on surgery snacks watching wrestling with the curtains closed. That, or he just takes a lot of coke. How old is he?

Robinson looks the part, but really doesn't seem to have any end product. Very rarely causes any problems with balls into the box or onto the edge of area. Contrast couldn't be greater with Ryan Fredericks, who played so many dangerous balls into the box. Possibly not helped by no fu cker being in the box during our time in the PL, but it's also a bit of a chicken and egg thing! GK - Rodak - quality in the Championship Defenders Ream - unconvincing in our last promotion season, totally out of his depth in the PL Odoi - as above Hector - looked great before lockdown in Championship, but generally wobbly thereafter Bryan - good going forward, but very suspect defensively Robinson - as above, but no end delivery Kongolo - signed a bloke with a wooden leg who was injured at the time we signed him, and then managed to get about 2 minutes of play out of him. Mawson - see above - big wages, no-one else will take a chance on him after his latest breakdown at Bristol City. Another CB we signed whilst they were injured. Tete - not sure he'll fancy playing in the Championship, but he would be quality. Adarabioyo - was generally very good in the PL until he had a run of inexplicable balls-ups with concentration, which coincided with us losing our way. Think he'd be good in the Championship. Midfield: Cairney - injured, but we know he can be quality in the Championship Johansen - yes, please, but can't imagine there's a huge desire on his part to hang about Onomah - bang average in the Championship last time round, but alright. Anguissa - we'll presumably look to sell him, but probably end up loaning him out with us paying 99% of his wages and a £48m loan fee. We'll arrange this ten minutes before the end of deadline day leaving us no time to use the money. Reed - excellent -it'll be frustrating for him being back in the Championship, but I would make him captain. Retain him and I'll be a lot more confident. Forwards: Cavaleiro - frustrating as fu ck, even in the Championship. Not chance of getting rid as he's presumably on a bundle. Knockaert - as above. Neither contribute much other than running down the same blind alleys every fu cking week. Mitrovic - Almost a guarantee of 20+ goals in the Championship, but he hasn't been right since after the first lockdown. Looks very unhappy. We'll probably sell him for £6m to Fenerbahce. Bobby De cordova-Reid - he's alright. Worth retaining in the Championship. No-one else we have out on loan is going to be of much use when it comes to getting promoted. That squad needs a major overhaul. As for Parker - dunno. In retrospect, he got us promoted with an unconvincing squad after a disastrous season in the PL, but we were dull to watch. Relegated this season, but that was expected. Played some nice stuff, showed he could tighten up the defence, but 9 goals at home in a season is fu cking woeful... but I'd give him another season to see what happens. | ![](/images/avatars/6543.gif) |

Fulham on 00:13 - May 11 by Boston | Yes, Fulham will be coming down but, they'll be going up next season, replacing Norwich in the Yoyo competition. |
Not quite sure how you can come to that conclusion so quickly. I started this season thinking they hadn't got a cat in hells chance of staying up with SP as manager but there was a period a few months ago where they were playing great football and looked odds on to overtake Newcastle. Clearly that hasn't happened but I feel SP may have done enough to get another gig (Palace perhaps?) so they might take a while to get going next season. | ![](/images/avatars/7509.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Fulham on 10:01 - May 11 by MrSheen | They have had a weird season in this weirdest of seasons. Won away at Liverpool, Everton and Leicester and were a minute away from winning at Arsenal, but only beat West Brom and Sheffield United at home. Maybe Parker could job-share? |
Yeah, very weird. We'd lost 23(?) on the bounce in the league at Goodison and never won there. We'd only won at Anfield once before, and we'd never won at Arsenal - they equalised 7 mins into stoppage time. We even got a draw at Burnley, where our record is nearly as bad as at Goodison. Terryb - don't know about Parker. He's made it clear on numerous occasions that things aren't run as he'd like. He's presumably a wealthy bloke, doesn't need the money, and I'm sure someone else would give him a go, but I would guess he'll be in charge next season. | ![](/images/avatars/6543.gif) |
