Personally, I think a change of manager could bring good things for Fulham. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Marco and rate him highly, but in recent seasons Fulham have reached a point where they come so close to their goals and just can’t quite get over the line. In those seasons, Marco has been the constant.
I think fans who want to keep him are mainly saying that because they don’t want to risk Premier League stability, which is a fair point. We often see how poor managers can damage a team.
But at some point he will leave, and Fulham will need to be ready to take a risk.
Well written Jack, although we have to be careful in what we wish for. Yes, it sounds great to get a place in Europe, but if it's at the expense of another relegation scrap, then I would rather stick rather than twist. Our squad is not strong enough in depth, and to watch the likes of Forest, Spurs, and Palace battle in Europe but are lingering in the relegation fight, then we must look on with relative ease.
We have had too many seasons struggling to stay up, and relegation came upon us. I believe the Khan's instructions to Marco at the start of each season is to keep the club in the Premier League.
This he has done very well without the full resources needed to give the FA and League cups a proper shot. I just wish the players had put a bit more effort in the domestic cups, as 1975 was a very long time ago that we appeared at Wembley in the FA Cup Final against West Ham.
My worry is the squad is starting to look unbalanced and light weight. Also it lacks leaders on the pitch. The Khans have brought in technically better players for Silva but at the cost of maybe a bit of physical strength on the field. A new manager may come in and find he has a job on his hands over the summer, with limited funds to address this issue. If this current squad ever fell in to a relegation battle I do not think it has the right balance of players for the fight.
You say we need to be proactive and ready to spring into action fast that is something Fulham never do take the transfer window for example, I don’t understand why our team isn’t fit enough to see out the season like other clubs do, is it to do with our training or the lack of it but something has to change, I think we do need some more players as we don’t have enough of players who are good enough to replace the current first team we need better players on the bench not weaker ones.

Oldest team in the Prem runs out of gas. No surprise.
Maybe chugging along as we do fits the business model? Premier status is crucial, Europe isn’t.
