Throughout its history, Fulham have played in all four divisions of English football and have never won a major trophy, although they were very close in 2010 when they lost the Europa League Final to Athletico Madrid after extra-time. Here are some of the highlights:

- Premier League best finish (7th): 2008/09
The Manager
Scott Parker was born in Lambeth in London, only a few miles from Fulham. He started his football career as a player, playing for Charlton Athletic and went on to play for Chelsea, Newcastle United, West Ham and Spurs before moving to Fulham. He represented England in the under 16, under 18 and under 21 teams before graduating to the national team and earning 18 international caps. Parker retired from playing in 2017 and returned to Tottenham Hotspur to coach the under-18 team.
Parker was appointed as a caretaker manager in 2019 following the departure of Claudio Ranieri. He signed a two-year contract as manager and led the team to fourth place in the Championship and on to promotion to the Premier League following a victory over Brentford in the play-off Final.
Players to watch
The Fulham manager is not the only influence on the Fulham squad. Here are two players to watch out for in the Premier League this season:
Aleksandar Mitrovic
The Serbian striker was the top scorer in the Championship in the season that led to Fulham’s promotion to the Premier League with 26 goals. He was the most prolific player in the league with 26 goals and three assists.
Mitrovic is Fulham manager Scott Parker’s first-choice penalty taker, netting from the spot on 5 occasions last season.
Joe Bryan
The English left-back helped Fulham keep 17 clean sheets last season. As well as being part of a solid back four, Bryan scored both of his side’s goals in Fulham’s win in the Championship play-off final. The defender was involved in 10 goals throughout the season and made more attempts on goal than the rest of the back four combined.

Fulham was more famous in the early 2000s than nowadays and I remember some of the famous players back as the likes of Danny Murphy and Clint Dempsey not to forget the legendary goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar before joining us in 2005.
Wish all the best to Fulham fans.

It's obvious now that they are going to finish not higher than 18-th. But Liverpool MUST take Fulham quite seriously.

Manoel - Cruzeiro
Lucas Romero - Cruzeiro

I know Fulham as an Egyptian owner club. El Fayad had been Fulham president for many years before Lady Di his wife died.
I learned from the above reading that a Malaysian owns the club now.
