Great comments by a Fulham fan
I'm writing this before the club have made an announcement but if Steve Clarke is appointed then it shows what our club has become. I've nothing against him and think he is a good coach but a good coach is not what we need. We need a strong manager. I have no doubts that Pearson was going to be offered the job but after meeting with Rigg he told him to stick it.
Rigg is an egotistical control freak. He has more a less admitted he wants complete control in the transfer market and wants a yes man in charge not a manager with his own opinion. This is evident in the way the club has been run up to now. All our signings have been made by Rigg playing fantasy football with our club. Nearly every player has either been top of the opta stats or a player of the season from the club we signed them from. Symons has only ever signed one player and that was Jazz Hands. He had no influence over any other signings. He never mentioned at all after signing a player that is was one he was pursuing, All he mentioned was he was grateful to behind the scenes team in signing that player.
Rigg still wants complete control and must have seen that Reading got to a Wembley semi final and fancy's a day out rather then looking at the bigger picture. I am not blaming Clarke and will support him. Whatever happens from now on will not be Clarkes fault just Riggs. The problem is we are such a bunch of passive supporters that just seem to tolerate anything. 2 mins of 'Kit Out' against Huddersfield sums us up. Yes that's part of being a Fulham fan and no way and I suggesting we start a 'Clarke Out' campaign but we really need to get rid of the poison that is Rigg. As I said he is playing fantasy football with our club and we're such a soft touch we all sit back and watch it happen. Here's to another season of nothingness. What a missed opportunity (again). Anyway good luck Steve and welcome to Nice Fulham. We are all behind you!
