I think you are not seeing facts, He got us promoted easily and quickly turned us into a mid table team immediately. We are not good enough to be in Europe without a proliverent striker or goal scoring midfielders. So it was probably a good thing that we failed. I think the players thought and acted that way.

My point being that you don't have to be the forementioned players to be prolific in front of goal as long as you're being fed the right balls from your team which is what we lacked as far as Jimenez was concerned. I'm off to creosote my fence now

Once Silva, left for Benfica, surely the main objective was to keep the existing players at the club, who acheived 52 point and retained top flight status, so the new coach had the opprortunty to assess. Not giving Jiminez another year, seems poor planning as now we only have Muniz, who failed to score a single goal on his return and only 1 in a season. If Wilson leaves, FFC have to find 20 goals to replace them, without all there other attributes. Early days, but seems like another not ready to start season.

Seems that FFC, think they are good enough to let him go, instead of giving another year. Still we have Muniz no goals in 2026. Would have thought stability of team who aceived 52 points was important to the new man. Another season to start with a not ready team, or is it to early to say that,
posted by denny (Guest) - Friday 12th June 2026, 7:09 AM 100% agree. I'd loan or sell Muniz and keep Raul, who had wanted to stay btw, as back up and buy one or two strikers. instead, we are putting all our bets into Muniz and an offer into the Bayern kid. Neither are ready, or ever going to be ready to lead the front line! Bad Very bad move to let Raul go or not wait until we have a new manager to make that decision!!

McKenna was under contract with Ipswich until 2028, having signed a new deal in the summer of 2024. Ipswich are protected financially should he decide to take up a new role in the next 12 months. They would be due compensation in line with the remaining time left in his contract up until the one-year mark. The current figure stands at around £7m.

posted by MST (Moderator) - Wednesday 10th June 2026, 10:29 AM He made it sound as if he couldn’t talk to anyone one while Marco was coach, as much as he wanted to keep him. Surely once he knows Marco is taking to Benfica. He’s not doing anything behind Marcos back by taking to other coaches
posted by DMK (Guest) - Wednesday 10th June 2026, 10:38 AM Personally, i think this smells of a blatant naivety and a lack of wisdom from the Khans who should have cajoled Marco into signing his contract sooner than the season ends. Marco played this out to near perfection but he didn't get the cream jobs and they were jobs in the prem. No Chelsea no Liverpool or Spurs. Ariola was the winner because he and Bournemouth's run-in was better than Marco and Fulham and i think it was telling in the stats to the big clubs who they want. Marco took his eye off the ball and we were too inconsistent and while the record shows that we had five golden years with Marco, it also shows his shortfalls and this is why the cream jobs don't come to him. I still think the splash-outs on the likes of Kevin, Rowe, Bobb and Chuka if we get him is decent money invested into a club like ours no different to your Bournemouth's Brighton and Palace. We lost to Palace in the semi's of the FA cup and they go on to win it. Again it doesn't look too good comparing Marco and CV to Glasner's. To end this sorry saga and episode for Marco, the only job he could take to save face was Benfica and the only reason why Benfica caught the eye was only because Mourinho vacated it for Real Madrid.

So either we pay 16/18 for three years for mackenna or use dosh to improve the carrot for amorin??dodgy choice knowing FFC i am thinking Billy berkinshaw from wilmslow town just may get the nod , and oh yes just made that up coyw sort it.
posted by the real arch ishop (Guest) - Wednesday 10th June 2026, 10:46 AM We need to sort our midfield out because we rely on action and breakthroughs from wing play and especially down our left wing which is predictable. Is McKenna the man to sort this out? Delap? Is he the answer to our striker problems, etc etc. I still think that we should have a shot at Amorim and pay him the 8 million we offered Marco to stay. Amorim and Utd was on 6.5 million can you believe it. And respect to Craven and a true Fulham fan.
posted by OWEN - Wednesday 10th June 2026, 11:20 AM If McKenna is banking on Delap we need to think again.

He didn’t walk the championship with the most valuable team in the championship and players with premier league experience. Like Parker, a championship specialist but a premier league failure. As much as as I like a young manager, I feel it would be a bit of a risk. The fact is our squad is not as good as we think. The good solids players are all getting past 30. The young ones are not still learning. The so called ready made players like ESR and Bobb are not setting the world alight. I feel we need an experienced manager.

Amorim would be interesting and acceptable to give him a chance to redeem himself in England after his Man Utd disaster. Are the Khans planning to go cheap and recruit the safe option that can keep us in the prem a while longer? We should be looking to push on from our not so lofty 11th position instead of trying to consolidate and survive another term by appointing Dyche. Lol' i like Cravens Comments on Dyche's accent?

posted by Fulhamscot (Guest) - Monday 08th June 2026, 8:00 PM I didn’t watch that game but looked up that goal, he certainly had to stretch, I can see why you were impressed. He is playing for Australia so we will see how he goes. The Japanese are a good quality team so to play in their league he must be up to some standard although I cannot claim to know anything about it. I looked him up on google and he is on loan from a low Scotland team. To be in the Australia team he must have something. I doubt he would be Prem material though.

They are not desperately looking for a new manager, they are taking a measured approach as the players are either on holiday or at the excessively long world Cup. Khan has four and a bit weeks to find a new manager, that in no was is desperation.

posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 06th June 2026, 6:57 PM I was going to reply to JohnC, and Craven below, but you have summed up almost perfectly, what I was going to say. I didn't give Amorin a snowballs chance of becoming our new manager, but after studying his career, I was quite surprised how well he has done, before the United debacle, which wasn't all bad until the end. However according to the Internet, we are keen on three people, and Amorin wasn't mentioned, but Thomas Frank was, so it must be old news, as TF, is taking time out, so we understand.
posted by GEORGE H (Guest) - Saturday 06th June 2026, 6:58 PM Maybe Amorin might be the way to go, it's important to be able to convince a decent striker to join us and having a recognised guy in charge might help. The alternative of McKenna from Ipswich might not fill this brief. Still whoever it is the Khan's stalling tactics need severely amending
posted by NRL (Guest) - Sunday 07th June 2026, 5:05 PM

According to the latest Internet news, the Khans have interviewed Glasner, as our next manager. Not a bad shout as he did alright at Palace, with a couple of trophies on board.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Friday 05th June 2026, 11:01 PM Can't see Amorim or Glassner coming here. We are not big enough for them in their opinion. We will have to choose from the rest. Sadly I am predicting that Marco will not have a smooth ride at Benefica. The board needs to stick with him if he doesn't fire up straight away so good luck Marco. Ange is the man for me!
posted by Tonyjohn (Guest) - Saturday 06th June 2026, 2:02 AM Please explain how you know the opinion of Amorin and Glasner TJ?
posted by MST (Moderator) - Saturday 06th June 2026, 8:11 AM Most people do not read factual information they live on speculation. some of which is accurate most of it is rubbish, but they do not care because if it is written it must be accurate they believe.
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 06th June 2026, 9:02 AM Amorim would jump at chance to join us to get back in premiership if we offered same deal as Marco. Would leave in one season with pay of and us in mess. Glassner would be great but is talking to Milan at the moment, maybe we could offer him more money, can’t see it happening fingers crossed. Ange not good enough for premiership his sides can’t defend, he plays some good attacking football, but a team our size has to be able to defend we have not got world class forwards and couldn’t afford them and they want to go to top six teams we would be relegated
posted by DMK (Guest) - Saturday 06th June 2026, 9:16 AM According to Correio da Manhã, Fulham have identified Ruben Amorim as the man they want to replace Marco Silva. The report states the London club hope to convince Amorim to accept the same proposal that had originally been presented to Silva before his move to Benfica gathered momentum.
posted by MST (Moderator) - Saturday 06th June 2026, 10:21 AM I’d take Amorim. He’s got a great record until Man U. He’d learned his lesson of the EPL and players in our league are a little bit more difficult to manage. With all that, we could get the best out of Amorim. He’s successes have been built on club similar stature to ours. So, I’d take him over any other names mentioned.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Saturday 06th June 2026, 12:09 PM I was originally aghast, that we have been associated with Amorim, especially after his complete disaster at Manure United, but after reading a lot about his history, and his career, he doesn't seem too bad a choice, as he has had more successes than failures, and a bit like Thomas Frank at Spurs, they just didn't fit. TF, will no doubt do well somewhereelse eventually, as no doubt Amorin, will as well, away from a big limelight club. It could be welcome to Fulham, soon ? ! !
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Saturday 06th June 2026, 1:34 PM A bit nervous about about Amorim but you have some good points there JohnC and apart from Man Utd Amorim does have decent track form. What we all can say is that we don't have premadonna's at Fulham or at least, i don't think so? Maybe our players will be more receptive and willing to learn and take instructions and carry them out. This was Man Utd's problem with Amorim. Put it another way, how many out of work managers can turn down 8 million? I will assume that we will pay Amorim that amount and more? Are we a rich club secretly?

Lack of backing from the Khans? I think the opposite, Kevin. I think we overspent too much money on the likes of Kevin Oscar Bob etc and they have not lived up to expectations but there is still time. Marco must have had some say on the purchase of these players and it is down to him to get them playing together which we haven't quite managed to do on a regular basis. We have talent at our disposal with the likes of Josh King who has not quite bloomed in talent and along with Muniz, Marco didn't find the sweet spot. Marco believes in all these players but he did not manage to get the best from them and we shouldn't blame the Khans upstairs who provide the finance and yes they had some say but overall Marco was always in the loop. I blame Marco for breaking up with Boa Morte, who was more influential and important in the grand scheme of things.

We are really going to be going through a really worrying period, before we are being told of our new managers appointment. So many names are being listed, some of which are putting the fear of God into me. Names like Parker and McKenna, who are experts of getting clubs relegated, so I hope that these names are nothing but a joke. Even Thomas Frank, hasn't done that, although had he stayed at Spurs it could have happened this past season. The Khan's have now been around long enough, to know that they are are trio of untouchables. Heaven forbid no ! !
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Wednesday 03rd June 2026, 8:37 PM McKenna got Ipswich promoted twice and first time was relegated with a League One side. Who knows what he could do with a mid-table PL side. Don’t dismiss him out of hand. He plays good progressive football much like Marco and remember, his stock was rock bottom when he came to Fulham and no one on this board wanted him. We’ve had some great times under Marco! Some of you have short memories. Stormed the Championship with over 100 goals, 20 scored in one week!! Great results against top half teams, home and away, and deep into the cups every season. Unfortunately Pep isn’t available!!! Jeex!
posted by MST (Moderator) - Thursday 04th June 2026, 10:28 AM The difference between what a championship manager does and a Premier League one is so immense do not even want to think about a good Championship manager most of them do not have a clue about how to run a PL team.

It is not just a local club it is one that regularly wins things. Marco must of got fed up with getting us in positions to wins things but we never made it. We have be trying since 1879 but we keep failing. Would the best manager in the World change this I am not so sure. I do nor believe in bad luck, but this club smells deeply of it.

Difficult to disagree with “most” of your post Fred although I do think you missed a few highlights with cup runs, beating Chelsea home and away, taking points of Liverpool, Arsenal and United, running City close on a couple of occasions, etc. toss up between Roy and Marco as to who was our best manager but although football not as pretty, I’d say arguably Roy as at least he got us to a final and the last day great escape against Portsmouth shades it for me.

posted by Marcos (Guest) - Wednesday 03rd June 2026, 8:39 AM Agree with you Fred, rarely have I heard a manager so unrealistically talked up. I don’t think he achieved very much at all. What slight improvements that were made have all been fritter away with the dolly dithering in recent months where everyone lost interest and the team went steadily backwards. It’s all been a total farce. If we haven’t already got a manager then it’s going to be another summer of TK flailing around playing to retrieve the situation. All totally unnecessary.
