Summary

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.

0:00.0	Fullamish is back to the season by Ladbrooks.
0:02.9	Ladies and gentlemen, it is Showtime.
0:05.5	Please welcome the team of the Fullamish podcast.
0:12.6	Hello listeners, we're back in business with a special episode full of duality.
0:20.5	My name is Jack Collins and tonight is a very
0:22.7	close-knit affair. I'm joined in a two-headed production by the one and only professor
0:27.9	of football, Ben Jarman. Hello, Jack Collins. It's a pleasure. If normally Fulamish
0:32.1	as the Hydra today, imagine that Hercules has already cut off a couple of heads. It's Janus,
0:36.7	the two-faced Roman god of transitions.
0:39.3	We're the infamous Batman villain once called Harvey Dent, Professor Quirrell in the Philosopher's Stone,
0:43.3	the Pokemon Joe Duo, the flip of a coin, a chimera of ancient Greece,
0:47.3	the Hindu fire god Agni, and the double-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Empire all rolled into one.
0:53.3	That was slightly long-winded, but anything feels better than talking about Fulham at the minute.
0:58.7	We are going to move on to next season.
1:00.6	Some managerial claims, some potential transfer targets very shortly, but it would feel weird
1:05.9	not to address the elephant in the room, the game that put the nail in Fullum's coffin in
1:09.9	the Premier League, albeit I would like to do so very briefly, as briefly as possible really, Ben. Signs of life,
1:16.1	basically, but snuffed out all too easily in the end. Yeah, that whole game against Wattford,
1:20.3	the 90 minutes encapsulated Fulham's season from the get-go, I think, you know, we had the first
1:25.6	half where we started very slowly. We grew into it.
1:29.2	We started to dominate the second half. We made rash tactical changes. We fell apart. We conceded
1:34.8	three goals in 10 minutes. And Watford played at a canter for the majority of that second half.
