Hope that Scotty handles this and keep Fulham in the PL

I do too, but I think it's a bridge too far.

They're down, 100%.

 

[nailsy]

Fulham's next four matches are Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool and City. I can't see them getting a point from those games.

Scott Parker now charge as interim.

Well, if ever anyone was capable of turning things around

Ouch! You don't always get that new manager bounce for a caretaker part of the previous setup either. Let's hope Scotty P does enough to get the job full time and give us a discount on Sessegnon when they're back in the Championship.

And there goes Ranieri

Poor old Ranieri but on to the next mug club who will throw even more millions at him.

 

[SE Spurs]

Whether Ranieri was the right man or not, 3 months is ridiculous, desperate. They can keep changing the manager, but the defense is still gonna be shite with those players. They'd do well to start thinking who's best to bring em back up next season imo.

It's a no lose situation for Scotty. Expected to go down in all honesty anyway. Can certainly try and lift morale, maybe the players will respond positively.

Wish him all the best. One of the more professional players that never complained and did his job. Will always respect him. Hope he does well and is given time, either there or somewhere else.

Fans of teams like Leicester, Wolves, Everton and, er, West Ham must look and Spurs and think in private 'What a great set up'.

We look at us and moan.

#levels etc

Definitely. Despite some of our fans being guilty of acting like spoiled brats at times nowadays, you've only got to go back 15-20 years and we were in a similar situation to the likes of where Everton, Leicester, Wolves, West Ham etc. are nowadays

When I was 1 year old Spurs finished 3rd, and I had to reach 27 before we got that high again. Between 1994, when I started paying attention to football (Dad took me to my first game in October '94), and 2005, Spurs never finished higher than 7th.

Look at this forum today and you'd often think nobody lived through those times. I mean, the club has obviously made mistakes in the last year or two that make us think "what if" and I will defend some of them but far from everything, but this is a dream land compared to what I and all Spurs fans aged approx. 25-35 grew up with.

Anyway, managers. I hope Parker does well but it's far too little, far too late for Fulham. Everything about them appears to be doomed.

What a shit job to get as your first in management, even as a caretaker.

There's a sense of we must have success and trophies right now. I don't know if it's the generation we're in, the way football has gone with the amount of money involved, social media or what. But nowadays very few have patience. Pochettino has said himself it could take up to 10 years in our case. People look at the likes of City and think every club can just get an oilgarch owner, pump money into the club, sign a bucket load of worldie players and win trophies straight away.

Started following Spurs because of my dad when I was six/seven. The 1986/87 team.... Wow. The FA Cup final...Mabbo's knee.... It basically set me up for a lifetime of Spurs fandom!

We (I) went way off topic with the history lesson in this thread, so I'll try to drag it back.

The way Fulham have conducted themselves since promotion surely serves as a warning to all promotion hopefuls in the Championship. You don't rip apart a squad that wins promotion, you don't shove all key players from the promotion season (Mitrovic aside) out of the team to make way for fancy new signings. If you do, it's the safest way to assure you'll end up going straight back down.

The last team to spend that big after a promotion was I believe QPR. And look where that got them.

Whether Jokanovic, Ranieri or anyone else is manager at that club is neither here nor there. The hierarchy above them messed up badly.

It was a very strange transfer strategy from them. £50M on Seri and Anguissa doesn't look like the best use of their money. Not sure why they needed 6 loans either.

Their vice chairman & head of football operations is Tony Khan, the son of owner Shahid. Should explain everything you need to know about their transfer strategies.

Ah the guy who now owns All Elite Wrestling, wanting to splash the cash with wrestlers like they're playthings.

I might be confusing different people here, but weren't loads on here absolutely fuming that we didn't sign Seri and let him go to Fulham instead?
