The Right Manager

04/09/19 • 52 min

The nails are in the Premier League coffin for Fulham, but it’s allowed us to take a step back, accept our fate and start to plan for life in the Championship next year. Jack Collins and Ben Jarman met up over the microphones to record a midweek Fulhamish special, talking about that plan to take the Whites back up to the elite tier of English football within the next few years. The plan revolves heavily around one things - who will be in charge of the squad next season, and there are plenty of prime candidates in Europe currently out of a job. With Scott Parker yet to show any sort of reasoning as to why the job should be his own next season, we take a scour through the managerial vacancies list - not through the usual suspects on the English merry-go-round, but a deep dive into Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany, as well as a few candidates closer to home - to try to sound out the next man who could fill the Fulham hot seat, taking on a rather wide berth of Continental football as we go. There’s a few mooted signings, some questions about where the side needs most strengthening and a bit of an audit on the academy, a few bits and bobs on contracts, a little bit of grieving and some well-deserved defending of our ownership given the recent press - but mostly, it’s a chat that cheered us both up and we hope it will cheer you up too. It will get better. You Whites.

Previous Episode

Otamendi's Shot Joy

In an episode named after the thing which probably gave Fulham fans the most to cheer about on Saturday, we look back at a chastening loss to Champions Manchester City, who comfortably beat the Whites as they chase back-to-back titles. We take a walk through Scott Parker's selections, City's superiority, and a few bright spots from certain Fulham players. With Watford looming on the horizon, we take a good look at the game which could spell the end of our top-flight status, and choose what we'd like to see as the Whites team at Vicarage Road. Before things got too desolate, we switched to the mailbag to answer some of the more fun questions surrounding Fulham - including a run down of other terrible strikes at the Cottage, players we'd like to see get more game time and whether we'd rather fight 100 mouse-sized Mitrovics or one Polar Bear sized Joe Bryan - as well as a look back at the #StopTheGreed protest which so many fans were a part of on Saturday. Thanks as ever, for listening.

Next Episode

Scotty's Toffee Drubbing

After a run of nine consecutive defeats, Fulham finally recorded a victory on Saturday against Everton. Yes, it doesn't mean that much, but it was sure nice to see a winning performance again. In this episode we discuss what these three points could mean for the confidence of the team, and maybe even for Scotty's chances of getting the full-time gig. Later in the podcast we talk about the contracts situation now relegation is confirmed, and discuss which players we expect to stay at Fulham next season.
