Perhaps not everybody's and certainly not the Club's, as 8 years ago today they sacked Lawrie Sanchez please log in to view this image Ray Lew and Billy McKinlay took over but one week later, on 28th December 2007, Roy Hodgson was appointed manager and the rest was a BIG part of our history. The other thing to say of course was that, that fellow MAF didn't muck around, not like some we could mention at present.
I don't remember noticing before, but doesn't Sanchez look like Mr. Spock? Sacking him was certainly the logical decision.
Hee hee, hadn't notice the likeness until you mentioned it Captain. And something I don't remember is that before signing Roy the Club were seriously looking at Slaven Bilic. please log in to view this image However just seen this snippet from the local paper at the time: "Fulham must decide if they are ready to make Croatia chief Bilic their new manager on a job share. The club's board are considering a huge gamble in their bid for Premier League safety. Former West Ham defender Bilic, 39, does not want to abandon his country before Euro 2008 despite a chance to manage here in the top flight. So he is trying to convince Fulham's board he does not have to commit much time to Croatia until the finals begin. A source close to Fulham admitted: Slaven has shown all the makings of becoming one of the worlds best coaches." Can't say I'm too unhappy with the eventual selection a few days later though.
