Fulham have sacked manager Martin Jol with Rene Meulensteen assuming responsibility for the first team with immediate effect.
The Dutchman has been under increasing pressure following the Cottagers' disappointing start to the season and Saturday's 3-0 defeat at West Ham proved to be the final straw for chairman Shahid Khan.
"Today I spoke with Martin to thank him for his efforts on behalf of Fulham Football Club over the past three seasons and, in particular, since my becoming Chairman earlier this year," Khan said.
"Martin was very gracious and I appreciate his understanding of the situation. There is no question Martin is an excellent football man and he has my utmost respect for the commitment he made to our club.
"However, our poor form and results this season are undeniable, and Fulham supporters deserve better. With more than half the season still ahead, an immediate change was necessary."

No surprise there, the transfers he made were not great. Lots of luxury players and no one who is willing to put their head down and put the graft in.
I think Fulham will bring some players in and should be ok. They have a much better team than the clubs that are around them.
