The State Of Affairs At Fulham

Fulham is my team, I have been a supporter since my dad took them to a game when I was 8. That was over 20 years ago when Fulham were plying their trade in the lower divisions of the English Football League. Since them, certainly in the last 10 years, there has been a massive change at Fulham. Luckily we were bought out by Mohamed Al Fayed who was then the owner of Harrods. Thanks for Mo and his money we were able to get out of the lower reaches of the Footy League and moved into the Premier League with the likes of Chelsea (who are only 2 minute drive away), Arsenal and Man U. Seeing Man U in action at Craven Cottage is incredible. 

We had a great season last year and reached the Cup Final one of the European cups thanks to the management skills of Roy Hodgeson. But he parted company to go-to Liverpool and things have not quite been the same. Replaced by Mark Hughes, we have been languishing in the bottom half of the League table and are now in the bottom 3. Luckily it is a congested table, a couple of wins can lift us up to the mid league respectability.

Perhaps Roy Hodgeson made a mistake as he is doing badly at Liverpool and is probably about to get the sack. The same fate awaits Mark Hughes too. I know we have been a bit short on fire power with Bobby Zamora injured and out of action but you have to question the manager. Fans were chanting at the last week's game 'You Don't Know What You Are Doing' (aimed at Hughes). He needs to do something urgently or Al Fayed need to bring someone else in. Having enjoyed Premier League footy for about 10 years, I don't fancy the prospect of the Championship again.
