Does anyone think that Tuchel is remotely interested in making England a competitive side on the world stage? He’ll cream his millions, qualify for tournaments, fail miserably when gets there, not have his contact renewed then jump ship to a ‘top’ European side for a year or two before jumping ship and moving to another team.

posted by Ted (Guest) - Thursday 22nd May 2025, 10:06 PM The same thought applies to signing Vardy. Has been a good player, but if Leicester, who are going down, have let him go, what does that say about him signing for a Premier League club?
posted by peterjeremy - Friday 23rd May 2025, 9:11 AM No one is saying that except a few people on here. Don't believe the stories. neither are good enough. we have enough pensioners in our squad. The only old player I'd take is De-Bruyne or Modric.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Friday 23rd May 2025, 10:50 AM De-Bruyne would be a great signing, but he will be looking to join a team playing in Europe, so unfortunately that rules us out.
posted by LTS (Guest) - Friday 23rd May 2025, 11:49 AM Christ, there’ll be calls to sign Lineker next. Loads of hungry young players about who, heaven forbid, could last 90 minutes plus. Fulham should send out a few scouts instead of buying players via tik tak or whatever it’s called.

posted by Pat's Pat. (Guest) - Thursday 22nd May 2025, 5:57 AM Man U have a lot of decisions to make this summer. They lost to a Spurs side who have lost 21 of their 37 league games played so far. Yet Spurs had already played Manchester United three times this season and won all three, scoring eight goals and conceding three. What a couple of losers! How far would either of them have got in the Champions League? There would have been big clearouts at Man U especially whatever the result had been.

posted by JohnC (Guest) - Thursday 22nd May 2025, 8:06 AM Could Marco Siva be interested in joining Spurs, if the opportunity arises? Surely not, with the club politics going on there. One has the impression that clubs like Fulham, Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth etc may be 'smaller', but punch above their weight simply because they are happy ships where the manager is allowed to get on with his job. Alternatively, places like Man U or Spurs haven't been happy for years. It's disgraceful that Man U lack real quality players but have forced to lend out the likes of Jaydon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. Too many people in those clubs want to have their say in what goes on on the pitch, resulting in discord and lack of harmony. See https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c87j3l17vj2o
posted by peterjeremy - Friday 23rd May 2025, 9:12 AM No matter where Spurs finished at various times they have won the League, the Cup, the League Cup and European competitions. We have not won any of those things and do not looked like doing so, that might attract our manager to move to Spurs. More money and better prospect would attract most people in most professions.

A lot of money for one stand! The loan is only to COMPLETE the stand. So the full cost of the stand is probably way more. No wonder the season ticket is £3000 a year! Servicing the loan is about £15m a year. A problem if we ever get relegated!

posted by The Time Is Now - Tuesday 20th May 2025, 7:23 PM The prize money for winning the European Conference is about £30m. So the loss is not that great. The extra crowd would raise about £16m. £46m would buy us one half decent player.

I thought it was a very entertaining game two attacking team attacking and scoring goals and we managed to score more of them. A saved penalty, the ref chickened out on sending a man from each side off for a second yellow card. The upsetting thing is if we had won all the games we took the lead in we would be a point behind Liverpool going into the last game. The counter to this is we have more points in the top division than we have ever done before but we can do a lot better than that.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 18th May 2025, 10:45 PM It’s a massively missed opportunity. It is extremely doubtful the league will be as poor next season. As Palace and Newcastle parade silverware and European football along with Forest we are left with nothing again.
posted by Sam (Guest) - Monday 19th May 2025, 6:33 AM Not quite nothing Sam, as we have broken our points total for the Premier League, and that is an achievement in itself. Yes we should have done better, with so many leads thrown away, but considering everything overall, we haven't done too badly, and beating those Bees twice in a season, makes it a rather worth while.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Monday 19th May 2025, 7:27 AM Yes it's a great achievement, but it doesn't feel like it. Its probably down to our poor home performances against those teams in lower league positions. Next season will will have to make the Cottage a difficult place to visit and few more clean sheets, which will guarantee more points.

Soak up the punishment and then break quickly to deadly effect. Once again Eze proved to be a match winner although, Henderson for me was the hero of the day. Strange decision on the hand ball outside the penalty area and in my view, the referee and VAR got it wrong. The least punishment would be a yellow card and a direct free kick to City where the incident took place. Why this did not happen is a mystery. The referee, as usual, had a poor game and let far too much go unpunished.

Apart from beating Liverpool, we have been fallen by the wayside ever since that defeat, as it seemed like the stuffing has been knocked out us, and unfortunately we will probably only get a draw if we are lucky against that mob from leggoland tomorrow. Today's final was almost a bore, and why Henderson got away with that handball only Attwell and VAR know. In my opinion he would have got a red card in a normal league match, but as it was the FA Cup final, he got away with it. It was costly for City, as he made save after save, and was my MOTM. I hope City play like that against us next week, then even our off form, motley crewe might have a chance.

The point about Cairney and his effectiveness, i think depends on the type of game there is out there. Sometimes we have to keep the ball and Cairney can be useful but if we need more pace, Cairney isn't our man as it proved against Everton.
posted by OWEN - Saturday 17th May 2025, 1:41 AM Very true, when the going gets tough and we need to push forward and score, Cairney(not the player he once was) can't create the energy needed for this. His slow methodical approach does not cut it in the PL, with the opposition buzzing around starving him of space and time.

posted by Ted (Guest) - Thursday 15th May 2025, 8:43 AM I think it’s all very depressing but don’t feel, although I can’t say I really know definitively, that this is the way all top flight clubs have been going for many years. When the big money started coming into football from American and Arab interest, the fate of the average fan was sealed. Many of us had predicted this demise and I personally felt the continued striving for success was infact heralding the genuine fans death. Everyone wants success but it comes at a cost. Maybe it would be better to be a slightly bigger fish in a less commercially rewarding environment. Back in the day football was no less frustrating but it was fun. Win ,lose or draw one always went home with some enjoyable anecdotes to share. Then there were many wags ( male variety ) who’d have us in stitches most of the match. Messers Hill, Cook and few others endless amused us.. The point I’m trying to make is that then football was fun and played with great spirit, if rather poorly, now it’s war and there are more moans on boards such as this than pleasure. Old adage be careful what you wish for. R.I.P.
posted by Mortlake - Thursday 15th May 2025, 9:08 AM Watching football, particularly in London, is for people who can afford it and plenty of people can as we have sold out for nearly every home game. The problem is many of those people are not really fans, so many arrive late and leave early which shows real lack of interest. You cannot really blame the new stand as the old Riverside fans did not support Fulham in a very vigorous way. We have richer non supporters there now, but at least means we have more money to spend on players. Saying that in my view if we sell all the tickets, as long as that is not to away supporters in home areas, that is good. Some of the casual supporters may become real fans even some of our visitors from Chelsea might find us more interesting. We have very keen very rich genuine fans in big numbers.

We went ahead in the first half after Everton kept missing good chances, this changed and they beat us easily because in the second half we missed a lot of good chances.
posted by The Time Is Now - Thursday 15th May 2025, 6:13 AM

Hard to win games at this level, when we let in 3 goals, especially against the high scoring Everton. Leno hands up for 3rd, Pererra yet again, letting a defender run unchecked to a set piece training ground routine. Other teams seem to block shots coming through for the first goal. When Anderson was at FFC before, we were defensively set up, his lack of pace is a serious problem, to often wrong side of attacker, if not fit play Diop. Will be interesting how he manages against Brentford. Really do need a performance from all against Brentford, playing for pride and to stop them qualifying for Europe. Been watching Fulham since the 1950's, why no set piece coach, can anyone take a free kick or corner with a chance of a goal. Highest number in league for losing games when winning. Good season, could have been much better by not addressing obvious flaws and deficiencies.

Very few of the players from our academy become consistent starters in other teams. Our young players are just not good enough.
posted by The Time Is Now - Monday 12th May 2025, 4:37 PM The Time Is Now .... I once heard an ex-Brazilian player and former football director say that people misunderstand the role of the academy. The main goal of the academy is actually to produce squad players, so the club doesn't need to spend money on transfer fees and high wages for average players. The money saved can then be used to improve the first eleven with higher-quality signings.
posted by Morpheus (Guest) - Monday 12th May 2025, 7:26 PM Young players given a chance must come in and hit the ground running i think and really make an impact in the time they are on the pitch. Josh King and Godo spring to mind and Marco has used these two in limited game time. If a manager debut you on in the 85th minute you know you got 5 minutes to make an impact and this has never changed. If you are a slow burner and you need more time, then unfortunately your skills and talent will come out later rather than sooner. Wayne Rooney is a perfect example at Everton and it didn't take a long time to know Rooney was a lot more than ordinary.
posted by OWEN - Monday 12th May 2025, 10:59 PM Never heard of him but quick check, it appears he’s just another Havey Elliot, who decided to dump Fulham for a bigger club for his first professional contract. I agree in principle, our records of losing great youth potential is not good but what can Fulham do when these so called big clubs come with a big contract offer to these blue eye kids. Sadly, we are a selling club and just a step in a steep ladder to the players and kids.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Tuesday 13th May 2025, 8:30 AM Let me be clear. I am NOT a bees supporter. Went to Henry Compton. But the Bees don't have an academy and seem to have a knack of consistently plundering other clubs for exceptional players. There is a long list of such players. What we should consider is scrapping our academy and setting up a decent scouting team. Talbot is clearly not up to it. We will continue to lose our best young players to the Liverpools of this world. We are nothing but a nursery for the big boys.
posted by Aussie Mal (Guest) - Wednesday 14th May 2025, 4:51 AM Aussie Mal ... That is not correct. Brentford have re-established their academy. I’m also not sure if you are aware, but in order to participate in any UEFA competition, it is mandatory for a club to operate an academy; otherwise, they are not permitted to take part. I believe this regulation was introduced specifically to discourage owners and clubs from acting purely out of self-interest, without contributing to the wider football pyramid. Let us not forget that our Under-21 side used to defeat Brentford’s team quite comfortably, on one occasion, Fulham won 6–1. I am therefore not entirely convinced of the quality of Brentford B. In fact, they did not even compete in a formal league; they only played friendlies, which is hardly the ideal system for developing young talent.
posted by Morpheus (Guest) - Wednesday 14th May 2025, 8:31 AM JohnC ... Larger clubs typically compete in more competitions and tend to rotate their squads more frequently. They also provide significant playing time to younger players, particularly in less important fixtures or early rounds of cup competitions. Fulham, however, appears reluctant to offer such opportunities, even in matches of lesser importance as demonstrated in the previously mentioned fixture against Leicester. Unfortunately, Fulham has one of the worst records when it comes to giving minutes to young players. In fact, it seems that not only within the Premier League, but across all European leagues, Fulham ranks among the lowest in terms of playing time allocated to academy graduates. Given these circumstances, I personally find it difficult to blame young players for seeking opportunities elsewhere — even at bigger clubs, where they are more likely to gain valuable first-team experience.

Biereth turned down our contract went to arsenal had l year in 21s the following year went to Motherwell on loan at some point arsenal released him .Silva would have done the same too young.
posted by Mick The Beard (Guest) - Wednesday 14th May 2025, 11:53 PM Mick The Beard .... Actually, he was not released. Arsenal sold him to Sturm Graz for £9 million, and Sturm Graz then sold him to Monaco for £13 million. After being named the best signing in the French league, he is now worth more than £25 million. Let's face it — he is worth more than any forward Fulham currently has. In fact, he's more expensive than three of Fulham's first-team forwards combined. Do you think it's right that there was no pathway for him to the first team?
posted by Morpheus (Guest) - Saturday 17th May 2025, 3:27 PM

Another one who left us on a free due to the lack of a clear pathway is Mika Biereth. Very few people on this forum may know him, but he has broken several records in Ligue 1 — including becoming the first player in 70 years to score three hat-tricks in his first seven games. He also surpassed Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s record for the most goals scored in his first seven Ligue 1 appearances, reaching 10 goals. Additionally, Biereth is currently the top scorer across the top five European leagues in 2025. It feels pointless to have a great academy if we have a manager who doesn’t give young players a chance. In that context, it’s hard to demand loyalty, isn’t it?

posted by pointless (Guest) - Monday 12th May 2025, 12:21 PM Recruitment has, for many seasons, been too little too late( those late to the sale miss the best), and somehow strangely un- targeted. We constantly seem to be in competition with other teams of comparable levels and invariably, if not always, miss out. Surely the players you want and positions you prioritise should be identified as early as possible. Approaches should follow at the earliest opportunity, before the big boys start bidding. I fully except that we’ll never compete with the big 6/8 but you’d think we’d be an attractive alternative to other mid-table teams.Planning, courage of your convictions and commitment surely make sense. Scratching around at the end of the window and having to settle for what’s left does not look like a plan laden with potential success. Talbot gets singled out, but not fully knowing how the system works, from where I sit, everyone must shoulder a portion of blame. Of course now it’s going to be even more difficult to attract good players. With Brentford, Bournemouth looking like they’ll be playing in Europe, our recruitment just got a whole lot more difficult.But hey, what do I know? I’m just a silly old git who continues to support a serially underachieving club.

Agree with this posting. We have had a lot of decisions go against us and it reconfirms my view that smaller clubs do not get the balance of benefit when it comes to refereeing decisions.

I wouldn't say that a majority of our fans, but not all, think the way that we do about our club, but so many have excessively high expectations. I know that we have been a Premier League club before, and quite recently really, but in general, we are a novice at this level, and considering the draw backs that we have gone through this season, we have done exceedingly well, under Marco's guidance, and for him to leave at this point in our Premier League education, would be a complete disaster. We must just pray that Marco is here to stay for some while, otherwise under a new coach/manager, we could struggle l e to maintain our current position. My congratulations to both Brighton and Brentford for their efforts this season, but they will both probably end end with nothing to show for it, like us. Unless of course they consider a spot in a really low European competition an achievement, which will badly effect their League form in 25/26.

How after beating a team like Liverpool, can we not beat a crap side like Everton, and quite honestly, we were the better side today, apart from our lack of finishing off our chances. So disappointing overall, and we are now running on empty. Season over.
