...to the Americans. I'm still of the opinion the Fulham are a league one outfit at best with a terrible support base. New owners will do well to see a return, I think they have already peaked.

The table (and past few years) tell a different story.
The new owner is the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who've always been the favourite to move location to Europe if that ever ended up happening.0 -
Redevelop Craven Cottage into luxury flats and move Fulham to Selhurst Pk. Simples.Karim_myBagheri said:200 million... bit steep aint it?

Mo Al Fayed will be happy.
Weren't Fulham in division 4 when he bought them?0 -

If they were to do a Charlton and go back down to league one then they wouldn't get half of what our crowds were.0 -
If they can stay in the Prem for three years it'll be a bargain. If they can't it'll be like that film The Moneypit.Karim_myBagheri said:200 million... bit steep aint it?

Who gets to keep the Jackson statue?0

The Sun reporting that it's £150m.
Possibly. But I think some of the fans they've picked up from the Prem will stay, so could be similar to our attendance.nichorob said:

For 200 million they'd be lucky to buy Kermorgants boots, he's priceless.0

Jacksonville Jaguars?
Wasn't that perverted big pussy (cat) at palace their mascot?0 -
Really don't get why this bloke has gone for fulham, a fan base which is even worse than ours and a stadium which needs to be knocked down. Would have loved it if this bloke took over us. We would Finally be able to buy sam bloody baldock0

Fulham will never get bigger than what they are now. Al Fayed ran things sensibly there if the new owners don't I can see them dropping down the leagues in the next few years0

bonkers! Fulham, Leicester, Charlton, Ipswich etc... all similar and most available for £30M give or take0

Interview with an American sports journalist on R5 Live this evening said the new owner is likely to keep the management in place at Fulham for a season at least, but will immediately "develop revenue streams" and "improve the match-day experience for fans". Palarse-style cheerleaders? Wow!0

Wow, Ron Jeremy* is worth a few quid if he can buy a premier league club.
*Do not google Ron Jeremy at work or in front of young children, if you are unaware who he is.0 -
Amazing - we are bigger, better ground only in a league below - which could be easily rectified! Assuming owner isn't a Fulham fan, wondering how he made that money with this lack of judgement.0
-
Are you saying we are a better investment than an established premier league side or am i missing the sarcasm?0
-
Long term, yes0
-
no surprise ... he's been cashing in assets ever since he sold Harrods. He no longer has the resources to support an ambitious premier club.0

I disagree. Investors would have to come in revamp the squad, try and get out of a tough league which is never easily rectified or guaranteed, clear debts without huge sky money coming in, in the hope in 4-5 years we will be an established PL team like Fulham are now.MuttleyCAFC said:Long term, yes
Why not just go straight there instead of going through the Rat race and spending millions and millions getting there? Fulham sound like a much safer option to me.

Fulham have done pretty well in recent season but the new money will mean increased pressure and expectation.0
-
You'd have to count in Charlton's debt - I assume Fulham don't have any - but that seems a ridiculous disparity. It does show you why Jiminez and friends are here, however.0
-
Fulham's debt is three time that of ours.
Main reason why the Phoney Pharoah is bailing out.0 -
Fulham will get relegated at some point and they will struggle as we did. Accepting debts etc... - £200m! How much would it cost to get us up - not that much I'd wager. Then fans, ground, facilities etc...Lincsaddick said:no surprise ... he's been cashing in assets ever since he sold Harrods. He no longer has the resources to support an ambitious premier club.

I believe Fulham are second behind Man Utd (Glazier) debt. He has been covering them every year and the debt is getting bigger. Guess it all depends if it was a loan or out of his own pocket0

It's a joke no buyer for our club,Fulham sold quick.0

We don't know how long the sale took.Valley27000 said:It's a joke no buyer for our club,Fulham sold quick.
Could have been negotiating for months.
We only found out when the deal was done which is the best way to do business.

Location, Location, Location .. Craven Cottage stands in the middle of prime west London real estate on an attractive part of the Thames, next door to the leafy and lovely Bishops Park, the land value of the stadium itself must be worth hundreds of millions (I will not attempt a guess at the potential housing development value), the club is in the Premier, the Americans are world class marketers and the new owner can probably offset losses against his tax. As has been mentioned, the Jaguars US football team is making London a second home.
If I were a Fulham fan I would be very pleased about this takeover, except I would be hoping that Craven Cottage doesn't become Craven Thamesside Mansions0 -
They've just had planning permission for the Stevenosn Stand rejected as it was to cantilever over The Thames.
It's gone to Boris on appeal and they are awaiting his decision - seeing as he has been against any development along The Thames it may cause them some problems.
Fayed had threatened to move away from The Cottage.0
