Fulham Football Club History

Fulham Football Club is a professional English Premier League club was created in 1879. Fulham Football Club based in southwest London Fulham. Fulham Football Club also known as “The Cottagers, The Whites, The Lilywhites”. Fulham Football Club plays in the Premier League. Fulham Football Club is the oldest professional football team in London. Fulham’s training ground is located near Motspur Park, where the club’s Academy is also situated.

Fulham Football Club has produced many British greats including Johnny Haynes, George Cohen, Bobby Robson, Rodney Marsh and Alan Mullery. They play at Craven Cottage, a ground on the banks of the River Thames in Fulham which has been their home since 1896. Fulham's training ground is located near Motspur Park, where the club's Academy is also situated.

The club gained professional status on 12 December 1898, in the same year that they were admitted into the Southern League's Second Division. They adapted a red and white kit during the 1900-01 seasons. In 1902-03 they won promotion from this division, entering the Southern League First Division. The club's first recorded all-white club kit came in 1903, and ever since then the club has been playing in all white shirts and black shorts, with socks going through various evolutions of black and white, but are now normally white-only. The club won the Southern League twice, in 1905-06 and 1906-07.

Fulham joined The Football League after the second of their Southern League triumphs. On 8 October 1938 Craven Cottage saw its all-time highest attendance at a match against Millwall FC, with a crowd of 49,335 watching the game. A few season of mediocrity in the Second Division followed, but then the club reached the FA Cup semi-finals in 1958 and used this momentum to win promotion back to the First Division in the following season, having finished second to Sheffield Wednesday.

After an eighth place finish in Branfoot's first season in charge the club hit its lowest ever final league position in the 1995-96 season, finishing 17th out of 24. In 2002-03 Fulham spent most of the season nears the bottom of the table. Chairperson Mohamed Al Fayed told manager Jean Tigana that his contract would not be renewed at the end of the season. However with five games to go, and relegation still possible, Tigana was sacked, and Chris Coleman was temporarily put in charge. Fulham won ten points from a possible 15 and managed to avoid relegation. Coleman was given the manager's job on a permanent basis in the summer of 2003 and despite predictions that the inexperience of Coleman would result in Fulham's relegation.

On 29 July 2010, Mark Hughes was named the successor to Roy Hodgson, signing a two year contract. Hughes had previously managed Manchester City, Wales and Blackburn Rovers. Hughes' first match in charge was against Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium. The highlight of the season was a 4-0 win in the FA Cup over London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, all goals coming in the first half. Hughes resigned as manager of Fulham on 2 June 2011, having spent less than 11 months at the club. On 7 June 2011, Martin Jol signed a two year contract with Fulham, becoming the successor of Hughes. Jol's first match was a 3–0 UEFA Europa League win against NSÍ Runavík of the Faroe Islands on 30 June.

Fulham F.C. is owned by Mafco Holdings, based in the tax haven of Bermuda. Mafco Holdings is owned by Mohamed Al-Fayed and his family. By 2011, Al Fayed had lent Fulham F.C. £187 million in interest free loans. In March 2011 Fulham posted annual losses of £16.9 million, Al Fayed stated that he would continue to make "funds available to achieve our goals both on and off the pitch" and that the "continued success of Fulham and its eventual financial self-sustainability is my priority.

Fulham's fan base has fluctuated over the years with high crowds coinciding with the clubs success in the Premier League so that the club now averages in the top 20 best home attendance in the country. Fulham supporters have played a vital role in the clubs long term stay at Craven Cottage. When the club moved temporarily to Loftus Road a committee known as 'Back to the Cottage' was formed, committed to ensuring the club continued to play at their spiritual home. Fulham qualified for the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League by virtue of the Fair Play league. They started their campaign in the first qualifying round, beating NSÍ Runavík, followed by a win over Crusaders in the Second qualifying round.
