Fulham deputy managing director

Fulham yesterday confirmed that they could still return to Craven Cottage.
The club's failure to find a suitable site for a new stadium after sharing with Queens Park Rangers and Loftus Road has prompted a re-think about Craven Cottage and they could be back at their home of 106 years.
The club are considering returning to a down-sized Craven Cottage after attempts to buy land in west London have failed.
Original plans to redevelop Craven Cottage appeared unworkable when the cost rose to £100 million but Lee Hoos, the club's deputy managing director and company secretary, confirmed to the London Assembly sport committee meeting that going home was now being considered.
He said:
“We’ve looked at alternative sites, all within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and now we’re looking at a revised plan for Craven Cottage which would have to be on a smaller scale."
"An Englishman's home is his castle and everyone wants their own place."
"Our fan base is very much in south-west London but we're still assessing all our options."
