Just been listening to an old Generation X album and was surprised to hear a song call Kiss me Deadly which has various references to Fulham and FFC. It mentions the Greyhound which was obviously a big venue back then and refers to the Putney end as the Bishops end (obvious as well), followed by a line mentioning “spring from the terraces in black and white”and “Having fun in SW6.” Also a mention of the old snooker hall where the Temperance pub is now. Think the guitarist was from Fulham but anyone know if Billy Idol who wrote most of the songs, is a fan? Dave L used to know info like this.

- In an interview with Juice Magazine Tony James was asked, Where did you grow up? Initially, I was born in Shepherd’s Bush, in England, which is a suburb of central West London. Then the first five years I was in Fulham. I spent my school years in a suburb of London called Twickenham, which is on the river. I went to school there and saw my first bands there.

My take on transfers is that ot is extremely difficult to bring in the right players during the January window. Firstly if he is a valued player most clubs do not want to let the go mid season. This is the reason the last day was extremely quiet. I think we did well to get Bobb in. We donned another striker and potentially another midfielder. We have a strong squad as we have shown during Afcom and injuries encountered. I expect Silva will extend his stay and expect us to continue our progress this season. Just another opinion from a fan of the club.

Last season those two positions combined for a whopping 125 mins of play (108 mins for Reed, 17 mins Stansfield and Vini). So far this season, even with 6 players out for almost 2 months (injury and AFCON), they were called up for a whole 51 mins (34 JKA, 17 Reed).

- Commercial VPNs (i.e. not used with fixed IPs to access servers) are privacy & security theatre. They're useful for geo-unlocking content. Good for when on a shared network. But largely pointless otherwise. On TIFF your IP is exposed. However, posts are ephemeral and there's no requirement for registration. So on balance it's much more private that other forums. It would be lovely if we could readily use VPNs to post here as well. But the troll has taken that option away. (NT) -- eganonoa, Tuesday, February 03, 04:41:22pm (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
- On the 2nd point, if the troll were forced only onto his regular ISP the Mods could readily block the IP and keep the troll out for extended periods. IP addresses don't turn over nearly as frequently as a troll can flip between VPNs. At the end of the day there really aren't good options. It's either force registration, block VPNs and TOR, or just let the troll continue. Of those three, if you care about privacy (hence think a VPN is "essential"), force registration is the worst.

On the information publicly available, it's a pretty clear cut case that PSV had no intention of selling him and consequently wasted our time.

PSV Eindhoven rejected multiple late attempts from Fulham to get a deadline-day deal for Ricardo Pepi over the line, sources have told Football Insider.
The Premier League club offered £33million for the forward, 23, as well as multiple formulas to secure an agreement.
These included a buy-to-loan deal that would have seen Pepi remain at PSV until the summer.
But the Dutch Eredivisie club knocked back Fulham’s concerted effort to land the USA international, mainly because they ran out of time to secure a replacement.

- Response to Henry! -- Fulham Si, Tuesday, February 03, 09:51:24am (NoHost/148.252.128.69)
Ok so for a different twist Henry! Owners buy football clubs for many reasons but based around ego or long term returns. Fans support football clubs because of an emotional connection and yes some for a day trip in a different country or city. Most fans are fans of sport who want their club to strive to be the best they can on the pitch, win matches, trophies, titles etc. The value of a club is in its ability to keep and attract new fans. If, as an owner, you can’t see that or care about that or want the same thing then maybe football ownership isn’t for you. If you think the fan’s ambitions are spoilt or ungrateful then you definitely shouldn’t own a club! The right custodian for a club is one that matches ambition with ability to make the numbers work therefore need to understand recruitment, ability to make money on players etc. I don’t have a massive issue with our owners but we had the chance to really push on this season and dropped a bollock in this window leaving us with a striker who is the 21st highest goal scoring striker in a league of 20, of which we are one. Muniz is still an unknown entity in the premier league as we can’t know whether his form was permanent or short lived nor do we know how long it will be to find out. If Pepi was so desired by us to buy him injured it must be because we think his value post World Cup will be significantly higher therefore unaffordable in the summer. If he wasn’t that valuable then we should have looked at other strikers. If we believed Pepi to be that valuable then paying the amount PSV wanted whilst they had time to replace him would have still been a bargain. This is of course if the board were truly motivated to get him as opposed to simply offering at a point we knew it wouldn’t be accepted just to pay lip service to the fans.

The Khans are clearly not doing that and for pure investment there's better use for money than owning a Premier League club where annual losses are massive albeit may end in a capital gain.

- We primarily play 433, looking across the line for goals. The CF does not need to be the one who bangs them in. The year we finished 7th and qualified for Europe, Zamora scored 2. We've invested HEAVILY at wide forward (Kevin, Bobb, Iwobi, Wilson, Chuckwaeze if we exercise the option), signed a No. 10 with goals in him (ESR), and paying high wages to Raul, while extending Muniz to a big contract. Loads of investment. Less at CM, which find odd, but assume is Marco-driven. (NT) -- eganonoa, Tuesday, February 03, 11:40:20am (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
- But we played 2 upfront that season and Andy Johnson was our top scorer, whilst we relied heavily on a defence that let in less than a goal a game. Its a massive outlier, for both reasons. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, February 03, 11:45:20am (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- Yes, on paper, but I think a "modern" analysis of that side's structure would've seen a bit more of the 433/4231 in it than just 442 (which definitely we were out of possession). Also doesn't change the fact that the role of CF isn't always to bang in the goals. While that's changed somewhat this year with all the big No. 9's being bought, the predominant trend up to then was for the CF to be more about linking the pieces together than being the primary goal scorer. That's certainly how we play. (NT) -- eganonoa, Tuesday, February 03, 11:50:32am (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
- I'm far from convinced it was ever a 1 when the two played together, and (even) if that is the case, the 1 was Johnson, not Zamora. All word salad really, you still want a striker who scores a few goals, even if his game is more than that alone. (NT) -- Same Old Story, Tuesday, February 03, 12:16:38pm (NoHost/81.79.78.26)
- I think it was more nuanced than a straight 433 because of Demspey and the kind of channel running Johnson was asked to do. Unfortunately, we don't have average positional data from the time. Irrespective, even if we agree that 2 goals is extreme and you "you still want a striker who scores a few goals", we have two of those 10+ goal a season strikers. I seriously doubt that Marco's gripe is about 3rd striker vs not replacing Andreas, which we did. Pepi was one for next year. (NT) -- eganonoa, Tuesday, February 03, 12:30:01pm (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
- You do, but also think football has evolved where a CF is a far more rounded role than main scorer now. Teams rotate roles so much now, so often Wilson is our furthest forward and Raul covers right mid area. Arsenals top scorer has 6 and they’re gonna walk the league. Also think there’s danger, rely too much on 1 then if they’re injured or leave it becomes very tough to maintain. If Raul scores 0 more this season yet we finish 8th and win the fa cup nobody would care.

- "Dropped a Bollock". that's a really Personally I don't think the club has done that much wrong, when you look at the squad we have. For me, this is the best squad I have seen at Fulham since I first started watching in the 70's. I didn't watch the Tigana team so can't comment on that time, but what came after with Coleman et al was mostly mediocre with the odd shot of brilliance like Malbranque, Dembele or Dempsey.

- Whats odd is that Raul has 9 goals and assists this season, the same number as Watkins, Mbuemo, Foden, Woltemade, Schade, Trossard and Salah. Just beneath him on 8 are Welbeck, Kroupi, Mateta, Cunha, Gibbs White, Neto, Gakpo.

Can’t Remember the exact quote before the Winter Transfer window. Marco roughly said everyone is singing from the same Hymn sheet at the Club.( Re Transfer targets) .There is no doubt the great run of results around the Holiday period has rightly or wrongly, eased the threat of a likely Relegation Campaign Maybe this improvement has taken the urgency out of the issues we had at that time.

- Modern football fans -- Henry1879, Tuesday, February 03, 09:26:28am (82-132-234-248.dab.02.net/82.132.234.248)
This is going to be a tin hat subject for me, not expecting much support, but here goes.
I completely get having gripes with how football clubs, not just FFC, are moving towards day trip fans and trying to generate more revenue to help PSR. I don’t really comment on these issues as I don’t go to nearly as many games as lots of you, so don’t feel I have the right to get involved too much, but completely get the negativity to how many clubs are trying to shift more tickets away from so called legacy fans.
However, I find many modern football fan so self entitled. As a mid revenue prem club you simply cannot afford to make many mistakes, big transfers that go wrong, over stretching or moving to many out can easily lead to a relegation battle, just how PSR works in the mid ranks. Yet so often after owners who’ve spend god knows how much and lost vast amounts are told they lack ambition. We’ve consistently lost 30m+ a season, yet some make out the cheap scates are on a mission to cash out. We’ve just spend net 20m in a window and bet we’ll spend net loss of 50+ again in the summer. Whilst comparatively small amounts of money, it’s very easy to spend someone else’s cash, Wilson, well just give him 120k a week, despite none of us knowing what’s been said or what offers have been made, maybe he wants 180k to sign now. Pepi, well just give them whatever they want for him, guess that’s why we aren’t multi billionaires, as that’s not how a negotiation works and the khans I reckon are pretty good with money. XYZ CM, we’ll just got and buy one, despite not having any idea who we’ve pursued or what other clubs have said when we’ve approached players we want.
Palace, who are the club most similar to us for many reasons, barely spent last Jan, yet won the cup and got into Europe. We are on a really nice gradual path at the moment, firmly stabilised as a solid mid table team, barely any managerial structure changes, squad age being lowered as we develop our plans, not may big misses in terms of transfers for a good 5 years now. Just think patience, things are going nicely, players are coming back, we have 2+ experienced prem players for every position, we signed a class player in Bobb, if we couldn’t get who we wanted in Jan then we don’t need to be rash and panic buy.

- I am not suprised we didnt buy anyone other than Bobb as if you look at our january spend under Marco we only paid money for Lukic, all others were loans. Still think the squad lacks goals, our top scorer is Wilson with 8 who could have gone, next is Raul with 6 who is also leaving.

- Generally agree on the late timing thing, but when we you say "we didn't do enough in summer (according to our manager)" you need to look at WHAT it is we didn't do he was angry about. Marco just last week: "I'm very pleased [about Bobb] since we have been using Alex more as a midfielder. We sold AP in the beginning of the season, we didn't sign a midfielder to replace him. We started to use Alex in midfield." It seems not replacing Andreas was what he was most unhappy about, not the 3rd striker (NT) -- eganonoa, Tuesday, February 03, 11:54:33am (NoHost/195.222.49.31)

- All fair, and your summary of the Pepi situation may be spot on, but thats precisely why we need to, in some circumstances, just give a deadline, stick to it, and then move on. We're too willing to go to the 11th hour or later, too often, and its primarily this that leads to us being a B-/C+ rather than a B+ or even A.

. The board and I are singing from the same hymn sheet re transfers.
2. We have signed Oscar and are hopeful of further business, however we understand that deals are not easy to conclude and you cannot force a club to sell a player just because you want him.
3. He also alluded to the fact that he only wanted players for the squad that were probably younger and a step up from what we currently have to take the club forward. It appears he did not want to sign players just for the sake of it.

- It seems that the Khans ambition stops at premier league survival -- Fulham Si, Tuesday, February 03, 07:36:27am (NoHost/148.252.140.234)
Mere survival won’t be enough to keep an ambitious manager like Marco. There are people on here who believe that we didn’t need reinforcements or squad strengthening in this window and I agree, we are safe and that’s great for our owners as it protects their investment. However with the players Marco wanted we’d have a great chance of kicking on and really challenging for a European spot and the Khans fell short.

Why have a bid accepted for Pepi if all they want is survival? Why have rhe 11th biggest wage bill of all tbey want is survival?

- Let's take these in turn. 1) The stand is a business opportunity (it's a joint venture with IMG and it makes the Club more attractive for a sale. 2) I'd ask why they wouldn't give Wilson the contract he deserves if they were serious about kicking on? 3) They should have either met the asking price for Pepi - or moved on. Why are the fans impatient? Because the Khans had us yo-yoing up and down the divisions and raised the ticket prices to US levels.

- If you only see the stand as a "business opportunity" in the context of our history, I question how much you understand that history. As Ernie Clay, Al Fayed and others knew and tried to engineer, the true "business opportunity" is in getting us out of the Cottage and using that prime real estate for much greater gains than the Khans will ever realize from developing the stand.

- With the money they've put in I think the Khans qualify as fans. Mega rich not all their decisions will be based on profit or at least won't need to be. Maybe having fun is in the equation and seeing how far they can grow the club. We know for sure that they're not asset stripping bastards.

- No matter how much we funded Fulham 2000 or how much we protested, the club and our status was not saved by the "BTTC, the Trust and the fans". Our status at the Cottage was only ever secured once someone actually developed the ground. If you think this whole thing was done purely as a business opportunity, then you have to believe that SK, one of the few self-made men in football ownership, is a terrible business man given all the other things he could do with his money and the club.

- They've managed to keep "an ambitious manager like Marco" for 5 seasons, making him our longest-serving manager in 50 years, 6th longest-serving in all of English professional football currently, 3rd in the Premier League. They must be doing something right! Hard to see huge weaknesses in the squad. Some weakness at 3rd striker (JKA) and 5th midfielder (Reed). Not the end of the world. If Marco can't handle that and succeed, he won't be getting other, better jobs. (NT) -- eganonoa, Tuesday, February 03, 08:22:27am (NoHost/195.222.49.31)

- What!? We signed a starting League 1 goalkeeper as a backup and have kept Benda now back on loan as 3rd choice. Marco expressly stated in his post-Bobb comments that signing Bobb was about replacing Andreas (see quote I provide in a thread below). Berge was signed directly as a replacement for Palhinha and has been used in the No. 6 roles exclusively as a result (just as he was in Belgium when he was listed as the hottest thing in football).

- No one on here, apologist or not, knows what Marco thinks. What is fact is that he knows things we don't - who we tried to buy, what went wrong, where fault lies, what could have been done differently. With the help of his agent he'll already know what his possible job options are this summer and will probably have decided whether or not to leave.

From the information I was reading, at no stage were PSV very motivated to sell him at this time. Whether this changes at the end of the season we shall see.

With what is going on in Marco Silva’s head . Oh don’t displease the genius or he’ll leave . Whether he leaves or stays will depend on what other club comes in for him . And yes being able to come with a very hot winger on a free would be a big attraction.
So we have added another right winger but done nothing to secure either one of Wilson or Chukwueze . Indeed another expensive winger ignores Wilson’s stated desire to start loads of games in the remaining 4 years or so he has at the top . I find that odd because if we lose both Wilson and Chukwueze in the summer that would make the current transfer window seem in retrospect a missed opportunity . And of course it may add to Marco Silva’s attractiveness to other clubs . ??????

- "Fully aligned’ indeed". You literally have no idea whatsoever Mickey. As per my point below, "our CM issue" is clearly not one that Marco sees as an issue. He's not shy in expressing his needs, and yet never once has he expressed or shown any real desire to buy more there. In fact, when we signed Bobb he said he was happy BECAUSE we had addressed Andreas leaving with Bobb and Iwobi now there. I don't agree with that position, but it's clear he doesn't see the "CM issue" most of us do. (NT) -- eganonoa, Monday, February 02, 06:20:15pm (NoHost/195.222.49.31)

Does anyone else think the referee was being disingenuous to justify giving Utd a free kick after the penalty incident?
The shirt holding started way outside the penalty box, so did he just play on? If he did he cannot change his mind afterwards. It looked pretty obvious he gave the penalty after the tackle. I find it hard to believe he gave the penalty due to shirt holding. Far worse happens in every game in the penalty box and referees just let it go.
It should have been a GK.

Mateta seems to be in a dodgy situation no that AC Milan have decided against signing him and Palace have already agreed a deal with Wolves for his replacement.
It looks like an issue with Mateta medical but it's all very vague. Potentially failing a medical would be a surprise given his form so far.
We're clearly after a new striker and if he was allegedly close to joining Forest, we'd surely be an upgrade on them, unless European football is his motivation.
Get in there with a low ball offer and take advantage of the situation?

- The Addiction to the Transfer Window. -- Mickey, Monday, February 02, 03:06:17pm (82-132-231-178.dab.02.net/82.132.231.178)
It is as if -twice a year - Fans crave that shot of hope ; the kind that is entrenched in the belief that the next incoming Player will transform /elevate your season to levels way beyond expectations. Fuelled if course by the Media Frenzy of Sky and every single outlet. The comparisons , the astonishments , the sheer need for the ‘fix’ that ensures we aren’t being left behind and are part of the this Global Sporting Event. As much as some ( esp on this Forum ) take the measured , calm approach of ‘don’t believe what you hear ‘, ‘how do we or anyone know what is going on behind the scenes ‘( both sensible comments of course ). My point is that this Madness is very much a part of supporting your Club and dreaming. Big fees are banded about and announced as if they are /will be the guarantee of maximum success, and so many lap it up . When the dust eventually settles and evidence from
playing time is gathered , then cue more comments to substantiate earlier viewpoints . I’ve watched numerous clips of other Fans during this window , and believe me they’ve been far more vocal ams critical than anything from anyone on here . After all, we ‘re Football Fans…...that is what we do !

Lovely to see him score in the PL and good evidence of his technical ability. However, these types of goals where wingers cut in and run parallel to the 18 yard line before curling the ball to the far post, are becoming common. harry wilson is always looking to do the same. wide players must spend hours practicing these types of play. Commentators always get very excitied about these types of goals because they appear spectacular. Me, I prefer a well worked team goal of the likes of the Harry Wilson goal at home to Palace.

Leaving no time for PSV to find a replacement! Well I hope TK doesn’t get trampled under the feet of Marco and Wilson rushing to sign extensions. Well most of our goals come from midfield so not signing Pepi isn’t the end of the world but the knock on effect could be terrible. Marco doesn’t walk on water and isn’t universally loved by the fans but when you see what he’s done for us he will be a very difficult act to follow should he decide his tone is being wasted by the Khans and their inability to operate effectively in the transfer window.

You can understand why Fulham feel aggrieved with VAR this season.
Ever since they had a Josh King goal wrongly disallowed through a VAR review at Chelsea in August, the world has been against them.
They have been involved in more VAR decisions than any other club. And of the 12 interventions, eight have gone against them.
Fulham have had five goals disallowed through a VAR review. The highest for any other club is two.

Yes great penalty from Raul but he was virtually anonymous today. We need more pace up top, if we get that with Bobb coming in were a very strong side. Chuckweze did very well to play considering his sad loss. I thought Harry was quite today and didn't do much. Our playing out from the back was much better and we looked good on the ball. Final pass needs to be better. I thought Cairney once
again was a calming influence when he came on.we are not far off being a top 6 side. Robinson still doesn't look fit and Sess did well when he came on. Hard to take this defeat but proud of the team tonight.

But as I try really hard to get past the disappointment of the result Kevin scored which I think takes the monkey of his back and may give him his flair and confidence back. Furthermore we managed to give them a harder game than both City and Arsenal so that can’t be a bad thing.

We never deserved to lose that we looked the better side until their first goal. Terrible penalty decision and var the n give a free kick. Andersen should have scored early on and once we scored we were in the ascendancy. Great goal from Kevin but lapse defending cost us late on. We kept going and all credit to the players.

If the club are serious about moving up a level they need to buy a new starting striker and a considerable upgrade in central midfield.

The purpose of Var is not to award free kicks outside the box. The referee didn’t blow up for a foul outside the box. So Var can rule out a penalty but how come they can overall the original referees decision and award the free kick?

Ref never gave the shirt pull he gave the challenge.
VAR right to check if the pull was in the area to give the pen but if not then it was play on so a corner or goal kick.. th review on the shirt pull was simply is it a pen that wasn't given

- I reckon that Wilson will go before the end of the window. Poor from the club to not tie him into a longer contract before now. Hopefully Pepi and Bobb will be enough to keep March happy to sign a new deal. No doubt Silva could do well with the Champions League team. You'd think he wants that for his CV. Doubt he'll get that with us. I hope I'm wrong but I think we'll cash in on Wilson to free up funds for a striker, Pepi or Parrot. -- Slimtim, Sunday, February 01, 10:12:54am (NoHost/95.214.184.181)

Clear from Wilson's statements a year ago, and then again over the summer and lately that negotiations were ongoing. Being a Bosman is EXTREMELY lucrative.

His numbers make him one of the most prolific strikers in Europe. We were mooted to have been quoted £20m for a striker who not only scored in his domestic league but in Europe too. He came through the English football system having been at Spurs at youth level so adapting wouldn’t be too hard. He is also young and out performing Pepe in the same league, so commercial upside (developing a greater US fan base) apart Troy would surely be a better acquisition.

With the Utd fans protesting before today's game - they will be fired up - BUT, if we can frustrate them that crowd could turn pretty quickly. The last 2 results for them have been great, but they have done so by hitting teams on the break with speed. This is a very different challenge for them. Can they look as good when they have more of the ball?
Do we go 5 at the back? For me, Kevin works so hard, that if Chuk is not starting and Kev does - I do not think we need to. Anderson's pace is a risk here, but less so if we give them the ball. If we go 5, we lose the midfield battle on numbers - and that is where I think this game is won.
Could we pack the middle? A 3 of Reed, Berge, Iwobi? Or do we be brave, invite them on, but have a front 4 ready to go on the break; have them looking over their shoulders the whole time.
A game that could go a long way to defining the rest of the season for both teams.

Would we be happy with Pepi, should it get over the line?
And as for a central midfielder, who would we prefer out of the names being linked? Hackney, Arthur Atta, Joe Willock?
Really happy with getting Bobb through the door. It shows a bit of ambition to try and cement ourselves in the top half of PL, if not higher. With consistent game time I think he’d be a great player for us. Very technically gifted.

Thumbs up from me even if it wouldn't be a signing with massive potential upside given his age and how much of a known entity he is.

Certainly looking top heavy in the creative department. Will we have to tinker with the Defensive part of the team. Maybe having 2 discipline holding midfielders to shore up the Backline when we breakdown offensively.It feels we are in for an Exciting Watch with this team. I think Sander is going to be a very important player for us.

- Got to get the ball to those attackers. Until Muniz gets back we'll struggle to go over the midfield, except for counter-attacking runs behind. So two DMs isn't really going to work consistently, I don't think. Going to need both of those two midfielders to be able to pass or carry the ball forward in congested spaces.

Makes sense here, both for lowering the annual financial hit and meaning that, if by summer 2028 we conclude he's disappointed, he'll still have three years left and be only 24/25, so we can sell on to a slightly easier league.

- Versatile Attackers -- eganonoa, Friday, January 30, 01:30:36pm (NoHost/195.222.49.31)
I think you can learn a decent amount about how the club intends to deploy a player from the initial signing messages, in so far as it indicates how the club sees the player on the day his signs. We've put the bulk of our money since Silva arrived into central defenders and versatile attackers.
Below is what's been said about our biggest attacking signings, defined in the signing messages as two versatile wingers for either flank (Kevin and Chuckwueze) and four versatile attacking midfielders who can play across the line (Bobb, ESR, Iwobi, Wilson).
- "Bobb primarily operates on the right flank and likes to cut inside on his left, though he can also play on the opposite side or behind a striker."
- "Chukwueze is a left-footed winger who primarily operates on the right, but has experience playing on either flank."
“Exciting young winger Kevin … is a young and versatile talent with exceptional pace”
- "A versatile attacking player, [Smith-Rowe] primarily operated off the left wing or as a number 10 for the Gunners, but is also comfortable on the right, or in a slightly deeper midfield role."
- “Iwobi had built a reputation as an exciting, technically gifted player who can perform in a variety of attacking midfield roles”
- “Wilson, a left-footed attacking midfielder, primarily operates on the right wing but has also featured on the opposite flank, as well as centrally.”

It’s official.
Now we need a good chant, there must be loads of options…..
The Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Oscar Bobb from Manchester City for an undisclosed fee.
A Premier League champion, Bobb has agreed a five-and-a-half-year deal, keeping him at Fulham until the summer of 2031.
He will wear the number 14 shirt.
Speaking to FFCtv, the 22-year-old said: “It feels great to be here. I had a great day meeting everyone and I’m very excited.

The PL asset strip the continental clubs. Take the best players, own a feeder club like Chelsea do with Strasbourg and you end up with a terrible Europa Final betweeen Spurs and Man U and lots of English clubs playing each other. Hardly exhilarating for the world's major club competition. Ok, there are other coroporate clubs on the continent but fewer. Let's hope Bodo Glimt and Benefica (what an amazing finish!) can progress to stop the competition being predicatably just about finance.

In round figure and elite level terms, the going value for a football pro of reasonable standard and form with sell on possibility appears to be around 35m to sign and requiring 5m annual salary. Add cost of management, medics, training, admin and the rest of it to see that only significant corporations, entities representing statehood, or bored billionaires are able to participate.
Kissing the badge is a love in of contract duration and faithful fans impoverished followers looking for something nostalgic we can align with.
My Fulham connection represented the working struggle to achieve, of all the clubs in London I forever opted for the ideologically leftish black and white. Still hope for a significant trophy and will always try to accept the unwelcome facts of how supporter/players aspects are turning out.

PSV has three conditions for the deal to go ahead. They need to add a few million euros to the current offer (€32 million). Secondly, the payment terms must be favorable. Fulham wants to spread the payment over a longer period, which PSV doesn't want. Thirdly, the Eindhoven club must have enough time to find a replacement. A deal can't be delayed much longer.
