Dunno what it is with Fulham and dodgy/quirky chairmen.

Deal is done, announced midday tomorrow.

Shad Khan on Fulham: "I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham, but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans."

Shad cont. "“Fulham is the perfect club at the perfect time for me."

If someone was to takeover, I'm happy enough for it to be him as he seems a decent chairman and hopefully won't ruin Fulham but will give it the extra push we need.

Now lets hope that means signings imminent!
 
Can't be true sorry... Kenwright says there is no money in football and there is no one out there to buy football clubs.
 
Simon Clancy (editor for 5live) thinks the takeover has a lot to do with Khan wanting to bring his NFL team over to London.

NFL at the Cottage syke?

Goalkeepers have always been the biggest problem in the women's game. Some of them are truly shocking!

Absolutely, I've said this for years and tonight was another classic example in the England-Spain match. 2-2 in injury time, Spanish winger does well and sticks a cross over. It's in the 6 yard box, the English keeper is pretty big by women's standards. It should be absolute meat and drink for her. Yet she just kinda stands there are raises her arms, meanwhile the forward is trying to nick in front of her for a header. In the end the forward doesn't make it but puts the keeper off slightly the ball literally bounced into the net off the keeper's head.

When I've watched women's games in the past, FA cup finals etc, I've seen keepers being chipped while stood practically on their goal line. All the opposition need to do is shoot at the top of the goal and they really struggle at times. It's actually embarrassing to watch whereas at least some of the outfield play is maybe up to Conference standard. The irony is, England's first goal was actually a fairly well worked goal, decent break, incisive passing, calm finish.
