It seems almost fate that Joorabchian will arrange the sale to Storey over Ashley as the final dagger into the club's back. Dai will accept the most attractive financial package; Kia’s job is to broker the best deal. I reckon with Storey saying that he’s in pole position, he and his consortium migh...
Judging by the photos it appeared the following were at the stadium; David Daly from Frasers Group Board Robert Palmer, Frasers Company Secretary Michael Murray Keith Bishop Justin Barnes David Daly is a director at Fulham. Would that be a conflict of interest; or is he simply vetting the deal for ...

I would like to see Craig given a chance ahead of Hutchinson. Partly, because Hutch’s time on the pitch needs to be managed, but also because Craig has been quality whenever I have seen him play. He seems to go under the radar a bit but his passing and tenacity on the ball is great. Agreed - unfort...
On the 1871 podcast that went out last night they started by saying they believe Chris Wilder will be our new manager and it will be announced this week, maybe even today ?? Hope their right will be a great appointment! They also said a couple of weeks ago that fans would be able to meet the new ma...
One thing we have developed is a solid loan relationship with clubs like Chelsea. I would not be surprised if we can harness those contacts once more, hopefully to bring in some young prospects. IF (and it’s a massive IF) we can bounce back next season at relatively low expenditure, I would not be s...
Yes there are concerns, but 21st is a successful season for us as a club. You could argue other managers would get more out of this squad, but bear in mind it is still full of loans & freebies. Some of those loanees can certainly be questioned on their motivation, cough cough Rahman. I’d prefer...
For a game with so few chances I quite enjoyed that tbf. Norwich looked great on the ball, but our back 3 were absolutely immense. I think if we'd had Yiadom overlapping Hoilett we'd have been a couple up in the first half, because Hoilett was class. Midfield was half decent, and Carroll and Ince t...
On the contrary I think sticking with Joao and Carroll could see them bullying many champ defences. Meite is the perfect bench impact option to bring on when there’s tired legs.
It’s all about balance and this league is closer than ever, the championship never disappoints :D When we got throttled at Rovrum and Sheff Utd we were the worst team they had seen in memory. Now we are saying the same about Hudds. Such a tough run ahead on paper and I have absolutely no idea where ...
Would go: Lumley Yiadom Holmes Sarr Hoilett Fornah Hutchinson Rahman Ince Long Joao Bench: Bouzanis, McIntyre, Hendrick, Loum, Ejaria, Carroll, Meite Leaving out both Mbengue and NGW. Sure there’ll be a few mystery injuries and of course is on the proviso that Sarr, Ejaria and Long are all fit Good...
Well the last time out at ‘fortress madejski’ was absolutely embarrassing. First half at Wigan was also pants. Been relying on Ince to do all the pressing and graft far too long. He simply won’t keep it up with the run of games ahead. Hopefully we may see Meite get some minutes. Would be good to see...
Don't think it's enhanced Edwards' reputation any, I can imagine his next job may come in L1 where FGR currently are. Can't see either Huddersfield or Cardiff taking a punt on him. Says more about what a complete basket case club Watford are though. Ten weeks for a bright up and coming manager effe...
Likewise, saw bugger all as a 10yr old in the bottom tier, cried my eyes out and I really did think at the time we would never get back up. But here we are twenty years later! Anyhow, we are in for a right feast of football up to Xmas aren’t we. This next slog of 11 games in 42 days up to the World ...
