posted by John (Guest) - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 5:26 PM MST thank you for removing the inappropriate and unsavoury remarks made by a certain poster following the death of a talented young man. My sincerest gratitude for the respectful comments made by our true fans expressing their sorrow at his untimely death.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 8:40 PM It is tragic and terribly sad for his friends and family but I fail to see why there has to be a public wringing of hands just because he is well known. It happens to many people, young and old every day. Is the life of a professional footballer worth more than, say a plumber who dies on his way to/from work? I'd suggest his loss is possibly greater given Jota has probably left his family very comfortably off, which may not be the case for a family who have lost their only bread winner. It is sad, but you lot don't know him personally so why do you feel the need to grieve excessively on a forum for Fulham Football Club?
posted by Fred (Guest) - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 10:19 PM May I add my name to the list of people offering my condolences to Jota's wife, parents, and family, and of course all Liverpool fans, and football fans the world over, for this dreadful event that has happened today, and although most of us have never met the lad, we all feel like we have lost a member of our football family today.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 10:50 PM Crikey Fred, if people feel the need to to outpour their condolences for such a tragic loss of life on this site then, so be it. It’s the football family after all and I suspect that many fans from many clubs all over the country are doing likewise! Stop being such a sourpuss! Seeing the news yesterday was a massive shock to many people (including me) and I would also like to add my condolences - a life, hopes, dreams and ambitions snuffed out so easily makes you realise how fragile and short life can be and is a lesson to us all to make as much of it as we can whilst we still can (be happy). RIP Diogo.

posted by Ipitombi (Guest) - Friday 04th July 2025, 6:49 AM See, MST here's the thing. Two post down everyone is saying football is just big business. There is no loyalty, the Kahn are not altruistic just in for cash. Now, a young footballer loses his life with his brother, in his Lamborghini and everyone says he was part of the "football Family" and even Wimbledon are considering allowing players to wear black arm bands, why? It is insincere demonstration of grief. People do it or, say RIP Diogo etc because they want everyone to see it and think better of them! It's crap. Not one of you has the slightest connection with him or his family, it's all so false, crocodile tears and a poor reflection on people today.
posted by Fred (Guest) - Friday 04th July 2025, 7:53 AM Fred, you are a disgrace. People express their grief for people in the public eye despite not having any direct connection with them. Jota was one of the wider football fraternity who was admired for his football skills both by the Liverpool fans and the wider football family. How many of the country express their sorrow at the passing of Queen Elizabeth without knowing or ever having seen her. As far as I am concerned you are a pariah and in the minority of football fans and certainly not representative of Fulham supporters.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Friday 04th July 2025, 8:26 AM Fred, you are a bit cold! if people here, including myself, want to write a few words on here as a mark of respect for a footballer we liked and our emotions were touched (maybe not yours) when we heard the news. Its our right. For those like yourself who has no feeling at all, which is perfectly fine, but should show respect and basically keep your mouth shut. When you see a hearse passing by, even though you don't know the deceased, I'd assume you'd move out of the way and say nothing. Maybe you don't.
posted by JohnC (Guest) - Friday 04th July 2025, 8:48 AM Latest in a long of footballers who’ve crashed in very powerful super cars, including our own Cookie. The likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini should take steps to ensure that when they sell a car the purchaser is able to able to handle it. There’s no need to have these very powerful engines outside the race track. I’d enforce speed limiters on all cars and make sure they cut out at 55 mph. As for bigboy, he should read the names on the posts he doesn’t like before throwing allegations about. If you doddery a*seholes can’t read the post properly, don’t comment on it.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Friday 04th July 2025, 8:59 AM Paddy, you tend to spout inane comments before you know the cause of the crash which the police have initially stated it was due to a tyre blowout. However, as far as I know the investigation is still ongoing. However, in you usual manner, you are prepared to jump to your own conclusions before the facts have been established. I suggest you wait for the official facts be established before spouting off in your usual manner. Perhaps, if everyone ignores you, then you will learn to be more respectful.

posted by Realistic (Guest) - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 7:03 AM Not picking on the Khans. Most clubs are run by businessmen with a keen eye on the bottom line. I’m picking on those who think the Khans are doing us a favour. They’ve not lost a penny, the original poster makes it sound like they bunged us £100 million quid. They’re probably not the worst owners but they sure aren’t Santa.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 8:03 AM Whilst I appreciate what you say Paddy, the irrefutable fact is they are still investing in the club. Self interest? Call it what you want they are nevertheless serving the fans self interest. We’re all out for ourselves after all. Doubtless the Kahns will sell it on in the future when circumstances demand, or they can turn a buck, but meantime they are creating a more valuable and attractive asset, whilst giving the fans a bit of long awaited success. Long may it last. My only concern is that somewhere along the way the average fan gets priced out.
posted by Mortlake - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 8:17 AM JohnC - a few thoughts on company accounts: assuming you’ve done your homework and using your figures, Khan has decided it suits him to change the £70M debt Fulham owe him into another form of debt Fulham owe him - additional shareholding. It doesn’t matter if you have money in your left pocket or righthand pocket, your wealth remains the same as before. Also, £888M is not a ‘price’ he’s necessarily paid anyone. Whatever you pay for an £1 ordinary share is a market price. It could be £1, but it certainly doesn’t have to be. I seem to recall when Ken Bates bought Chelsea in the Seventies he paid £1 for the lot, such was the poor financial state of that club at that time, with its dismal record of debts and profitability.
posted by peterjeremy - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 8:19 AM Don’t think Khans are doing us a favour just feel there doing better than most. And best I’ve seen since sporting club since 1960 . As for how long Paddy’s been around reminds me of myself when I was 21
posted by DMK (Guest) - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 8:23 AM I think it’s very reasonable to say the Khans are doing better than most. Our crowds and season ticket prices are no where near the highest in the Premier League, but we are sneaking up to European qualification, and by no means certainties to go down each season. The Khan’s experience is accumulating to our good benefit. Jim Ratcliffe thought he could run a football club easy peasy, but Man U just sink further and further as he thrashes about. Will Daniel Levy get much more time at Spurs? They had better start pushing up the table soon.
posted by peterjeremy - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 9:08 AM My point exactly PJ. I’ve no idea whether they’re the worst owners or not. Neither does anyone else. What I do know is, he hasn’t written off £70 million in debt just changed it to another form of debt which I’m guessing is CGT or another form of tax related.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Thursday 03rd July 2025, 2:47 PM Last summer our owner borrowed a lot of money to buy players but he has to pay the loan back without incurring debt as defined by the FIFA financial rules. If he charged the debt to the Club we would overspend by that amount, but if he converts it to shares that does not count. It is a legal device that most clubs do. If we become a top club by performance that club value will increase.

Don’t think the two players mentioned are a particularly good example of the Fulham academy, Elliot was barely with us a year and Stansfield was 26 when he joined. Most academy players don’t make it regardless of who they play for and the ones that do rarely do it with the club they were playing for as kids. It’s a gamble and the best clubs can hope for us to generate enough cash to keep it viable with the odd chance of developing a gem or nicking one off a smaller club like we did with Elliot and Stansfield.

Not sure I would agree with nothing. Surely 2 European finals and 1 World Cup semi must count for something ? As good as any England manager’s achievements, other than Ramsey, so that places him 2nd on the list of successful managers. We didn’t win true but that seems pretty good to me. As a Fulham supporter you should be used to being a ‘nearby’ team:)
posted by Mortlake - Thursday 26th June 2025, 7:27 AM Should have read ‘ nearly’ of course.

Most are a tactical exercise contrived to win matches not to entertain. How many times I read Fulham posts encouraging our team to win ugly ie. win at all costs. I could not begin to calculate. Beware of the good old double standards.

Yes. Did you know that someone on the highest rate of PIP, can’t walk, dress themselves or cook a proper meal can claim carers allowance to look after someone who can’t walk, dress themselves or cook a meal? Did you also know that person can in turn claim carers allowance to look after their own carer? Or, which is common, get a friend to claim carers allowance so they then aren’t compelled to look for work? Now suppose those three people live in the same house and manage to have some kids in whatever combination they are related. You’re now paying, kids, housing, PIP, possibly a new car through motability, helping them with their bills. Now ask yourself if any of them are going to set their alarm clock to get up at 6am.

Getting on and cost a fortune. That won’t stop the Fulham bean counters going all in to get him though. He’ll do his usual and bang a few before Christmas then goals will be as rare as a pig breeders convention in Tel Aviv. He’ll get restless and this ‘people’ will threaten all sorts, eventually leading to a move to the USA.

Tete signed to day i believe, also everton in talks for 38 mill mitro, mean while we are talking palhina for 40 mill 30 years old and picking up injuries, still, about right
posted by the real arch bishop (Guest) - Sunday 22nd June 2025, 12:28 PM Another great piece of action in this transfer window, can’t believe we didn’t match Everton’s package. So now looking for a right back, perhaps we will make a late bid for Kyle Walker he could be old enough, probably means another season without another goal scorer. Hopefully buying back the Munich failure might not happen now. If we believe all we read we have identified areas and targets and things will be alright.

Everyone moaned when Tete was injured and unable to play, now has gone to a rival who we should be easily able to compete with. Sorry but we are gonna always be a mid table side, no ambition or desire to improve. Too many sides in or around us looking to improve and hold onto there better players. Can’t believe we are crying out for Mitrovic and Paulinho back. Need to progress and move on.
posted by Sussexcol (Guest) - Sunday 22nd June 2025, 8:36 PM Tete did not have a regular place at Fulham and he probably thinks he will at Everton. We also we might want to lower the average age of the squad and he makes more mistakes than is acceptable.

posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 21st June 2025, 11:58 AM There's no way Fulham would be prepare to pay more than £20m for him. Bayern would struggle to balance the book (write-off 30m) if they sell him at such a big loss in 12months. So the likely hood is we can loan him back with an option to buy at later date. For me, that would be the best outcome. I trust Marco to make the right decision. He's aware he needs to drop the average age of the team.

Muniz has a marmite type of relationship with most of our fans, including myself. He was so bad when we loaned him out to Boro' that we didn't want him back and at the time, I would have driven him to the station. However, give the lad his due, and Marco and the coaching team for persisting with him, that he eventually turned out to be a pretty decent striker, and his scoring instincts gave us late wins against Newcastle and Chelsea, but at present, I would still describe him, as a decent striker, but he is open to improvement over the next couple of seasons, if he stays. The Finance Director says that we should snap their hands off, if we are offered £36k by Leeds. Providing we could get a striker like Solanki or someone of that standing, we might have a good deal, but my memory stretches back to a certain Alan Clark, that we sold to Leeds, many season's ago, and what a mistake that was, and we would have egg on our face if the same thing happened again. My marmite opinion now, is that we should keep him, with a new contract.
posted by Brian from West Sussex (Guest) - Friday 20th June 2025, 9:50 AM Two seasons ago I said Muniz had excellent potential and it would be a mistake to let him go as he would be worth £50 mln in two years time. At the time, most fans were crying out for him to be sold and last season he showed a vast improvement and is learning to bully defenders. I believe it would be stupid to sell Muniz to anyone at present as he will be our main striker next season. We must not sell our best players but invest in four proven players from abroad or in the lower divisions.
posted by bigboy4650 (Guest) - Friday 20th June 2025, 11:20 AM We didn’t sale AlAn Clarke to Leeds , we sold him to Leicester when we were Relegated. The next Season Leicester got to FACup Final but we’re also relegated and sold Clarke to Leeds
posted by DMK (Guest) - Friday 20th June 2025, 1:41 PM DMK, thanks for the correction, and I should have been more sure of my facts, about Alan Clark, before going into print, but I thought that I was right at the time. The other big striker that we sold on out of the blue, was Arthur Rowley. DMK, please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we sell him to Leicester, who I think then sold him on to Shrewsbury. My memory obviously isn't as good as I thought that it was.
posted by Brian from West Sussex (Guest) - Friday 20th June 2025, 4:51 PM Muniz also on the list for Newcastle by the way. The way how i see it, Muniz is capable of scoring picture-esque goals which look eye-catching and that is why a few clubs are looking at him. Yes he is still a raw talent and still learning. Maybe clubs like Leeds and Newcastle who we played against and beaten twice think they can get something more from Muniz that we didn't do. Marco Silva will weigh up the pro's and con's about Muniz. I suspect that Marco will try everything to keep Muniz because he feels he has natured him and there is more improvement to come. They say patience is a virtue and Marco Silva is a patient man. If here next season Muniz will have to hit the ground running and score more goals. Most Fulham fans have some patience but that will only stretch so far...

We sign the players we need who are available, because we are in competition with many teams who have more to offer than us. If we did not have such a bad end to the season we would have more money to spend and better status to get the players we need. In reality we are in competition for every player with a lot of teams hear and in Europe. This is not a quick business, as probably for every 10 players we seek we only get one. This certainly seems as successful policy as we do not get many failures. Be patient.

It is owned and operated by a guy called James ? and perhaps someone else (not sure), and has been since 1998, and who get all the advertising revenue generated by you, me and even Buzzi B clicking. Don't kid yourself that it is anything but a commercial operation even though he(they) do support FFC (I met him once).
