many said, when they come down, it's down all the way, fans will fall away and then the real cash worries begin. so 2 games in, 0 pts and yesterdays game v millwall was 5-6000 under capacity, millwall likely had a few 1000 there and are joint top. as hannibal smith says in the A TEAM, " i love it when a plan comes together"!

Just bumping this up ready for Konk in the morning.
Never mind,as on another inferior thread,enjoying the schadenfreude of Celtic's european travails, I'm thoroughly enjoying Mr Malaprop Steve 'Peanut Head' Claridge's high-pitched whiny Radio Five Live's consternation at Fulham's hapless Felix Penfold's mysterious selections and peregrinations. Do you know that when Luton got relegated from the top flight one time, poor old Steve went into a season of 'deep malay' ? So he knows how Fulham feels.
@ 70 mins: "Up and back,up and back..straight lines.They're going nowhere." FFC are giving Steve a mini nervous breakdown.
Fools paradise, Better think twice..
Much more important than the final score, me and the modfather have to urgently know..what was the attendance?
Laters Stop Press +++++++++++++++
Turned ugly amongst the red troosered Tarquins at the whistle."Felix out' clearly audible on R5L. Taxi for Penfold after three games ? Hoist by his own petard he said tonight was a 'must win game'. Will he walk? Schadenfreude is an ignoble emotion but have to admit I'm looking forward to at least 800 words about these dread Cottage shenanigans from Konk on the morrow. Where on earth do they go from here? Alan Mullery,Gordon Davies,AVB or the Hughie and Lily dream team?

Magath is certainly no idiot, he won the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg, a massive achievement. Given time he'll succeed, but he won't necessarily get that. Fulham have a good youth team, and in the long run, under his leadership will get it right. How long this is, who knows?

Felix Magath is either completely insane or just taking the pi ss. I think we’ve used twenty players in our opening three games, which without injuries is surely a record? We never, ever play the same team in consecutive games, which was more understandable when he was familiarising himself with the sh it squad he inherited last season, but he’s had a pre-season with these players now. And there’s absolutely no logic to the majority of the decisions; Hyndman was probably our best player in the first two games; not even in the squad last night. George Williams did well against Millwall — not in last night’s team. We then get onto the frozen out players: Ruiz and Mitroglu I can sort of understand as we’re presumably looking to sell both, but after looking okay in the PL and having played in the 2nd division with Blues, Big Dan Burn hasn’t been anywhere near the first team — probably due to his traumatic game at RB against Stoke, Amorebieta could surely do a job in this division, but again, nowhere near the squad. Hutchison dropped after one game. Alex Kacaniklic, who’s form admittedly dipped badly last season, plays for Sweden and was good for Watford in the 2nd division — he doesn’t get near the squad, and instead we play a LB, wide-left in midfield. The worry is that chopping and changing all the time will destroy the confidence of the youngsters - they were booed off last night, but it was Magath rather than the kids people were booing.
Add in someone as decent as Hangeland saying the bloke’s a nightmare, as well as stories coming out of the club from all over the shop — I heard one almost straight from the horse’s mouth last night — and it seems that pretty much the entire staff think Magath is a complete oddbod/kno b; even some of the kids. And not an oddbod in a Brian Clough way, just in a very difficult to get along with and understand way.
Last season Mark Fotheringham was released by Notts County, who only just avoided relegation to the fourth. They presumably didn’t rate him. He started last night for us, should have been sent-off for a ridiculously late foul and managed to get ironic cheers on his substitution, 50 minutes into his debut; which again has to be some sort of a record, especially as we’re generally a pretty forgiving crowd. What’s he doing at Fulham? Oh, he’s mates of Peter Grant, another inspired coaching appointment.
We chop and change the team every game so we never have a settled side, we change the formation every week, we don’t appear to have any tactics and look utterly clueless, we ostracise players who could do a job, we spunk our entire transfer budget on one player, and play a shocking player who can’t get a game at Notts, ahead of a young lad who’s been great so far, and presumably doesn’t need a rest after two whole games. We are a mess.
Coming-up with have Derby (A), Cardiff (H), Reading (A), Forest (A), Blackburn (H), Blues (A), Bolton (H)…With Magath in charge, I’m going for our first point at Blues and our first win at home to Bolton. We are officially a shambles.
I’d have sacked him after playing Dan Burn at RB, but knowing our current leadership, we’ll give him £10m to spend on dross before the deadline and then sack him two weeks later.
On the crowd front — they didn’t announce it and I can’t see it published anywhere, so in the spirit of the various QPR fans who just make our crowds up, I’m going for 46,000 with thousands locked out!
PS. Nailed on that we will lose to bloody Brentford in the LC next week. Magath out.
Fulham FC: It's the taking part that counts

Righteous heartfelt reasoned eloquent indignance,Konk old boy.
I've looked on six different sites over night starting with the Beeb,still can't find that bleeding attendance figure for love nor money.
A Clued up Cottager on R5L last night said you should go for Steve Clarke ASAP. I 100% concur. Get rid of Oddbod Penfold tout-de-suite.. he's a dead mole walking.
