CanaryFrom1979 0 Posted July 19, 2013 Is anyone else seeing this as a possibility?, Jol will be under immediate pressure and the first to go should the new owner panic or just intending to ''do a QPR'' and create some sort of upmarket football club.Players and agents will be well aware of the new owners wealth, some will be demanding pay increases, some will be resentful at not getting a pay increase and as is usual now agents will tout players at inflated wages and signing bonuses.An observation of foreign owners in the sport would suggest that certain owners intentionally disconnect a club from its supporters and heritage and that others fail when attempting to apply management style from a foreign system (franchises)I doubt that any corporate suit from marketing has ever considered the possibility of a ''giant killing'', the very same thing that us supporters want from the game (but obviously not a Luton) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanisabaddog 4,921 Posted July 20, 2013 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/fulham-submit-planning-application-to-increase-craven-cottage-capacity-6288607.htmlThe planning application is to increase the capacity of the stadium. The new stand doesn''t go over the Thames but does open up the Thames walkway.The guy that has bought Fulham is one of the richest people in the world. He''s highly unlikely to want to waste time making a few quid by selling Craven Cottage. As a previous poster has said, Fulham is more likely to become the new Chelsea rather than the new QPR.

Canaries Canary 0 Posted July 20, 2013 I would add that the owners NFL team is regarded as one of the leagues worst. It''s one of the reasons that he''s considering moving the whole franchise to London. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Rose of Texas 0 Posted July 20, 2013 A nice 60,000 seat NFL / EPL shared stadium on the cards then... including a name change for Fulham to the London Leopards or the Capital Cheetahs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted July 20, 2013 Judging by his comments, the new owner sounds well-balanced and thoughtful. I think he''s in for the long-term and is likely to do well for Fulham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
