But they obviously don't really see us as rivals if they've been willing to sell us Diop/Lukic. Being willing to lose two experienced PL players to us could come back and bite them in the backside. I think they are in bother this season. Inexperienced manager that seems to want to load the side with kids from Real Madrid. They've lost their two main sources of goals in Wilson/Jimenez too.

Lot of people's tip for an 'established' side that will get sucked into the relegation fight and rightly so imo. As you say, losing a fair amount of experience and an untested manager could spell trouble. Still, you look at their squad and there's a fair amount of good PL players in there - makes you realise all over again how tough the league is when teams like that are considered potential relegation rivals. |  |

Even with those exits, they are a well established PL side who were pushing for Europe.
I think we are optimistic if we think they'll be down there.
As 2 seasons ago showed, the gap is significant between Championship and the bottom half of the PL. It's going to be interesting to see who falls enough to be brought into the fight with the 3 promoted teams |  | | |

They have all the makings of a real boom or bust side. Relegation candidates or Europe, no inbetween. | | | |

They are the prime candidate to drop off to me. What they did last season is largely irrelevant as it's different circumstances now. They remind me a bit of us the season after MM went, albeit a league higher. Had a very solid manager that knew a way to get results. Now have an inexperienced manager that seems a bit deluded re what is required at PL level. Experienced heads out, Madrid B players in. And lost their main sources of goals. Their fans are ready to turn quickly if the season doesn't get off to a good start too. [Post edited 7 Aug 13:31]

All Fulham are doing is selling older players in their last year of a contract rather than let them go on a free. [Post edited 7 Aug 13:32]

Yep, Fulham & palace are the Two, other than Coventry & hull that we really have to target.
Season after season I keep thinking Brentford & Bournemouth will implode too but so far just hasn't happened.
Personally I think Sunderland are going to find it mighty different this time around while Everton & Forest are no great shakes.
We definitely have a chance this time. | | | |

You have to also put Newcastle in the mix as well. They appear to be a in a right state of disarray at the moment, they will struggle. |  | | |

Sunderland isn't a bad shout.
Think they've only signed one player on loan and Xhaka's legs are a year older and potential distraction/dissatisfaction from the failed Chelsea move too.
Forest will be fine with Glasner, although that is still one of the more bizarre managerial switches. | | | |

You never know, they might finally punish Man City so leaving only 2 relegation spots to fight over.
Ooooo look. A flying pig... | | | |

I also think European Football for Sunderland is potentially a real poison chalice. | | | |

Fulham have to sell their players they are willing to move out to someone - and the best price realised will be from fellow PL clubs.
As for us, i'm not sure we need to be targeting any club inparticular - we just need to look after ourselves and scramble 40 points if we can and see if that is good enough. | | | |

They said the same about Brentford last season |  | | |

That’s the hope isn’t it? Additional European games with the travel and two games a week, think they’ll really struggle. | | | |

Of course they don't see us as rivals, they're our feeder club |  |

Fulham probably see it as evolution.
Ex Real manager signing Real players, they're looking to kick on but it could go either way. You dont end up in Reals academy without having something about you but equally you need more robustness for the PL team than perhaps they have been used to.
Wait and see with them but they're thinking European places |  |

I don't think we have to "target" anyone. We just have to be better at picking up points, preferably in the home games against the mid to lower ranking sides. GON has experience of this & COULD prove a shrewd appointment.
But yes, we have to hope we are better than Coventry & Hull (we failed to beat either of the other 2 promoted clubs last season) & that one or two of the PL clubs has a nightmare season. Too speculative to imagine which one it might be, but the large amount of managerial turnover makes it more likely that there will be an outlier. |  |

No doubt that is what they see it as but I would be far from convinced. Proof will be in the pudding I guess. | | | |

Fulham fans are certainly not convinced and seem quite concerned. | | | |
