Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan told a critical supporter who had urged him to leave the club to "go to hell".

Khan, 36, tweeted fans after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Burnley, which left his side 19th in the Premier League, five points adrift of safety.

In a succession of messages he promised "multiple signings" in January but one fan replied: "Leave my club please."

Khan, the son of Fulham owner Shahid Khan, responded: "Never. I'll die at this club. Go to hell." him to leave had been critical in the past, including shortly after Fulham won promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs in May.

The fan quickly denied he had been in touch after promotion and in turn said he was frustrated by the fact Khan splits his time with other roles at NFL franchise Jacksonville Jaguars and as president of All Elite Wrestling.

I’m sure many of you had a brother or sister growing up- but if you didn’t, let me describe it to you. I was one of four, and EVERYTHING was a competition in my house.

Particularly with my younger brother as we were only 18 months apart, everything from tying shoe laces to eating dinner was completed with a highly competitive edge. It was carnage at times! I’d imagine that the rivalry between siblings is only intensified when you are a twin, so I’m sure there were some battles inside the Sessegnon house when Ryan and Steven were growing up. I reckon the twins loved getting one over on the other in a friendly way, but I also reckon that both boys spurred each other on, encouraged each other and essentially made each other better players.

However, while I think that the twin dynamic has benefitted the boys, I’d imagine that sometimes it must have been tough for Steven when he was watching Ryan take steps in his career at a quicker pace. What we have seen in public has been a real mutual respect and love between the boys, but I’m sure it wasn’t always easy, even if Steven has never shown it! He maybe felt in his twin’s shadow at times, but now it’s time for him to step out and make his own mark in the footballing world.

Many of us have been calling for Steven’s inclusion in the team for a year or so but apart from a few cup appearances, we were left frustrated. But finally, on a cold and windy night in the North West, exactly two years on from Ryan’s debut in the same league, we got to see Steven in action- and what a league debut he had. I was massively impressed with what I saw from him, particularly in aiding the attack. He maybe drifted to the left a bit more than we would want from a right back, but I don’t think that’s the position he has played most in so it’s OK to take some time to adapt.

Like Ryan, he is a very hard worker, and also had to confidence to pass the ball around with pace. In attack he had the Huddersfield defence worried on several occasions and was very unfortunate not to come away from the match with an assist.

Without his endeavour to get the ball into the box, we wouldn’t have clinched our second goal so he had a really positive impact on the result. He looks much more able in that position than Denis Odoi and Cyrus Christie so he should soon cement his place there.

It may have came two years after Ryan, but we all take our own routes in life and there is absolutely no shame in that. This is Steven’s time, and I’m buzzing to see what he has in store for us.

With three wins on the bounce, the last being an emphatic mauling of Millwall 4-0, Scott Parker seemed convinced that the possession style of play was to be Fulham's route to success this season. I am not on his side for that way of thinking.

Forest came to the Cottage last Saturday and suffered similar statistics when it came to possession of the ball, however, they were not frightened to attack the home side as they were well aware of Fulham's defensive frailties.

Although the four-goal demolition of Millwall looked good on paper, and the amount of possession backed up that scoreline, in reality, at times it was quite boring to watch. Of course, I am delighted we won, and by a nice margin, but if we had attacked much quicker at times, we could have netted double figures.

I knew that Forest would not be as poor coming forward as Millwall were. Fulham got beaten at home, and by a side that had yet to prove any quality looking at their early results this season. Possession style football I believe should be left to the best teams in the world such as Man City and Barcelona, who have the players with the needed skill levels that can pass their way into scoring goals.

Parker may argue that if a team is chasing shadows and cannot get the ball, they are wasting energy and tire quickly. This is often not the case when teams play Fulham. We tend to pass the ball sideways and backwards far too often, even when building up an attack and our strikers are waiting for the ball to be delivered up to them. It often results in a pass back to Bettinelli, who has been instructed to pass the ball out at almost every occasion, and ultimately cost us the three points when young Sessegnon was robbed of the ball against Forest.

Parker must allow his players to change things up constantly during the game. We have probably the best striker in the Championship in Mitrovic who is a master of winning and holding the ball up allowing quick attacks from our two amazingly fast fellow strikers in Cavaleiro and Knockaert. We also have Cairney and Johansen ready to speed up our attacking style, but spend too much time knocking short sideways and backward passes to our defenders. Harry Arter is a very hard-working midfielder, who could benefit from quicker attacking motions.

If we are to be successful this season, our play needs to change, and we need to show the rest of this league just how good we are as a goal-scoring side. I could see our three strikers rattling up twenty to thirty goals apiece this year. If we let in a few during the campaign, so what, we are capable of out-scoring any team in the Championship.

How exciting a season this could be!

It was just incredible that Fulham were not two or three goals ahead by half-time, and that the Baggies were still in the game. Cairney was unlucky with a shot that hit the bar, and the away goalie made two good saves. Apart from that, it was just more of the same. Passing left and right and backwards and back to Bettinelli in goal, just to start the same boring moves over and over again.

Why do Fulham not make use of their pace up front by speeding things up?

Mitrovic is one of the best with his back to the opposition goal and holding the ball up for our wingers to use their speed and skills. Instead, every move is laboured, with the final outcome usually ending with a poor final pass, as defenders are back in their numbers.

Bilic the West Brom coach must have been delighted to go in at half time goalless. Parker must have been thinking that it was only time before the sheer dominance turned into goals.

The second half started much the same as the first, but it wasn't long before Knockaert swung a perfect cross-cum-shot into the top corner of the visitors net to give Fulham the lead. This should have been the catalyst to see the Whites knock several more goals in.

It was Bilic who started to use his substitutes, and the game slowly began to turn. Fulham now started to look like they were chasing shadows. At this point, or even at half time, Parker should have used his subs more wisely. Giving a home debut to Onamah in place De-Reed was not a good call. Cairney was fading and should have been replaced by Johansen, and Kamara should have swapped with Cavaleiro.

Instead, Bilic made astute substitutions that turned the game. West Brom equalised after 80 minutes when Bettinelli flapped at a corner and palmed it directly to Ajayi to score, and in the 90th Darnell was inches away from getting the winner for the visitors. How will these dropped points at home affect Fulham's final position come to the end of season? Can Parker change things up during a game, and make the team invincible by using the pace we have?

Where will we be by Xmas and will Parker still in charge? I would love to see Scott Parker succeed at Fulham in his first managerial role, as he is a dedicated man.

The owners, the Khan family will be looking at him getting the side into the top six and a play-off position at very least.

That was the first issues with Parker's side, they just weren't clinical enough despite the talent they have.

Even though 11 goals in seven games is a respectable return, four of those came against Millwall and they only have three in their last three.they have.

Opponents are facing Fulham with the same game plan, to sit deep, contain and break at speed and it's becoming a slight issue in the way they struggle to break them down. It's not an exaggeration to say that the team should be able to blow most away, the quality in the final third, backed up by the classy Tom Cairney in midfield, is arguably the best we have seen at this level on paper for some time. they have.

Another more alarming problem is that they just aren't keeping enough clean sheets. they have.

The Londoners are regularly controlling possession but they are lacking game management right now and are making silly mistakes. On Saturday, it was conceding from a ball into the box and there is a real soft aspect to this team. There needs to be more fight to keep the ball out and there needs to be more control and intelligence in how they try and see games out. Of course, the manager needs to take responsibility for that and his substitutions will be questioned as he can often appear to be reactive as opposed to proactive when it comes to changing the dynamics of a game. they have.

Ultimately, Fulham have a squad that should be more than good enough to finish in the top two but they are showing worrying traits right now that need to be addressed quickly before they give themselves too much to do.

Last season, the 19-year-old started in 25 league games, scoring two goals and providing two as he broke through with the Ligue 2 club. The defensive midfielder almost helped his side to promotion but Lens were beaten in the play-offs by Dijon.

It was a surprise to many that Doucoure, who is under contract with Lens until 2022, was not sold in the summer.

He came through the system at Jean-Marc Guillou’s JMG Soccer Academy in Bamako, Mali and was in his country’s squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in the summer.

This season, he has made only two Ligue 2 appearances for Lens but looks set to feature regularly as the Sang et Or bid to return to the French top-flight.

Fulham’s scouting team have found a number of talented players in the French lower leagues down the years with current Whites striker Aboubakar Kamara snapped up from second-tier Amiens in 2017. And last year, French magazine France Football claimed the Cottagers are one of several clubs keen on signing the 19-year-old Ousoumane Camara from Auxerre.

The recruitment at Craven Cottage is overseen by director of football operations Tony Khan and his assistant directors, James Lovell and Brian Talbot.

Talbot takes responsibility for the live scouting of targets so it will be interesting to see if Fulham continue to follow Doucoure throughout the season.

Boss Scott Parker is not short of options in the centre of his midfield right now with Tom Cairney, Harrison Reed, Harry Arter and Stefan Johnsen in the squad.

Vidic himself recalls turning down the chance to join Liverpool at the time, but former Fulham manager Coleman says he was also interested.

“Vidic. I'd spoken to the agent and Mohamed Al Fayed was on board,” he told The Athletic.

“He was sensational, only young but already a man. I knew Jim Lawlor, United's chief scout, because we'd done our Pro Licence together out of Belfast. He's a top boy.

“I said to him, 'You can't take him, he's not ready for you, let him come to me for a few years, do well, then you can take him.' “He was laughing. 'No we're taking him now.'”

Coleman recalls another piece of business involving United, and how little of the proceeds he actually saw.

“We sold Saha for £13million and I got 500 grand to reinvest. The rest of it went on the Cottage, because it was deemed not fit for Premier League football. We were playing at QPR, Loftus Road.”

I understand the frustration, the promise this squad offers has been woefully short on being converted into results so far.

The games so far have been undeniably perplexing. We rely on possession football at all costs and attempt to play out of defence and take our time to pull the opposition out of position for us to launch our potentially lethal strike force.

The reality is that, we are so slow in our play at times that teams have learned to stand off and pressure us once the whole outfield advances. Only one or two teams have been cleverer and just push right up onto us in our area and thus stop us at source, luckily this is a tactic that only seems to occur to our rivals in the closing minutes otherwise who knows how our season would be at this stage. Maybe that's what we need, an oppostion team that presses us right from the off?

The last two draws came about because we couldn't close the game down in the last 15 minutes. We seem to be caught between the devil an the deep blue sea, go hell for leather and finish them off with an all out death blow or fiddle around and keep possession away from them?

The answer to that has been, neither. We just aren't ruthless enough to finish the job and we are not good enough to be arty-farty at the back, this is what has cost us dearly. Once again, the late goals against us come from mstakes right in front of goal, while we attempt to look like Man City.

it's all down to the Manager's tactics right? Apparently so according to those vocal critics among us.

All I can say to that is what exactly do the SJWs out there expect the club to replace Scott Parker with, I doubt that Poch (and what's he won anyway?), Klopp or Pep are looking to take over at Craven Cottage anytime soon. It's laughable really, when Ranieri ws failing, people were baying for Parker to replace him. It seems that some of those armchair pundits wouldhave us switch managers after every poor performance. There aren't that many coaches in the world!

A convincing win against Wigan might relieve a little pressure but we need a steady run of three pointers right now if we are to keep within reach of the leaders, let's hope Scotty can confound the keyboard experts and get this show back on the rails.

COYW!
