room0035 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 When you get a chance like this you take it, for me get his as the new manager before someone like Stoke City get there before us. Could really change our season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at expenditure only, it's the 4th highest Clearly Fulham spent quite a bit. Anyone can spend £100m in the transfer market across 12 signings. It doesnt means squat. However, spending big and buying 40m pound players is another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool do this most seasons. That is signing big! Not picking up Championship players at 6-10m a pop. You seem confused about signing big-named players and just spending a lot of money not being mutually exclusive You can sign big-named players, but you can also spend a lot of money on non big-named players. Fulham have the second highest net spend in the Premier League so far this season. Just because they didn't sign a big name doesn't mean they didn't spend a lot of money. They did.

He’s too friendly with everyone and too loyal to his staff and players. CC only went through mutual consent. What about loyalty towards the fans, he promised us entertaining football He only gave that a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 You really have to look at the standared of players he had last season, compared to what we have this season. And where are we going to get the money from for a promotion challenge. All seems a bit pie in the sky to me. Would clearly love us to have a similar season to the one Fulham had last season but doubt thats going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham spent their money......all of it probably....but they didnt spend big because they spread it out over 12 signings. This is less than £10m a player average which is Championship level. Any tom wee pipe and harry can spend £100m if they wanted too. Edited November 14, 2018 by CF83OWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The thing is most premier sides already have multi million pound squads and spend to improve them. Fulhams spend was to make a premier squad out of a championship squad, so spending similar to Liverpool, for example, still leaves them miles adrift.

Here is a quote from Ranieri which could well apply us: "This Fulham squad has exceptional talent that is contrary to its position in the table." In Championship terms some of our players are exceptional but they don't know what their best starting position is, or get dropped, or are frozen out entirely by the little rocking dictator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham spent 100m and brought in 12 players (some loan fees in there too I expect). Liverpool spent 172m on 4 players..... A complete difference in the quality of player obviously. Just cuz u spend 100m doesnt mean you sign big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Whilst he is a very good manager. Without the tools, he'd be useless. We don't have the tools, so it's NO from me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
