Jol watch?

You never know about these kind of reports, but if true that the management is just beginning to explore potential replacements then we're in bigger trouble than first thought. This team is going to magically play better in two weeks?? Not a snowballs chance in hell, and when a team knows the manager is as good as gone there is a malaise that sets in, and it's pure stupidity there hasn't been a change.

As for a replacement, a trained chicken that pecks a yes or no might be a better option than who is in charge. One thing the pisses me off is this whole 'would he want to come to a small club like Fulham sentiment'. Last I looked there are only 20 Premiership jobs, all get paid rather well, to think we couldn't attract a top notch manager is nonsense.

 

The malaise has already set in, based on our last 4 matches. And it's only a Premier League job if you feel strongly that you can keep them up. Crystal Palace is only a Prem job for 27 more matches, for example.

Let's say we wait 4 matches to dispatch Jol and we lose all 4 of those matches. The 5 teams above us are only averaging a point/match. Is 23 matches enough to dig out of a 4-6 point hole? Sure.

As fans, it sucks. Tensions are high, patience is low, faith in the club is wavering and the football is uke-front: . But part of being a Fulham fan, unfortunately, is seeing what needs to happen well in advance of the club doing what needs to be done. We are rarely surprised by proactive moves. Hopefully one day that will change, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

Apparently Roberto Di Matteo is still being paid £130,000 a week by Chelsea despite having been shown the door. This will continue until June 2014. All this according to the Daily Mail, which suggests that the setup means it's unlikely he'll be too eager to find a new job until then.

I guess the decision makers think this move will appease the supporters... :laughing-rolling:

 

I don't understand. Are we too cheap to buy out the rest of his contract?
??????????

 

Do others have the unsettling feeling that this won't end well? Two Dutch coaches might be more likely to succeed in the Dutch league, doncha think?

 

Renee was Sir Alex's right hand man, correct? He obviously knows what good futbol is. Hopefully he can be a fresh set of eyes on team selection and tactics. And light a fire in as many of the boys as possible, who haven't already checked out...

 

Go on....

 

That's just it. How much of the culture can you change when all of the other elements of that culture are still in place?

 

There is no truth to the rumor that Fulham lost to the International Break 0-5 :shock:

 

I won't comment other than to say it's a wait and see situation for me.

 

I can see how this rumor spread. The result is not unlikely this season.

 

Why is he still our manager?

 

Khan had no other choice, here is the full statement:

The big thing that concerns me is will Rene give the 'fresh start' the squad desperately needs?

 

The deed is done but I will save my celebrating until I start seeing better effort on the pitch.
