Fulham and Álvaro Arbeloa are very close to reaching an agreement. It should be announced soon.
My understanding is that Arbeloa has laid out the kind of project he wants. He is not looking for a short-term survival mission. He wants to rejuvenate the squad, add two or three players capable of raising the level immediately, put greater emphasis on young talent with development and resale value, and, to find some of that talented youth, create a clearer pathway from the academy to the first team. He has also outlined the staff he would like to bring with him.
As for the football, don’t judge him on what happened with Real Madrid’s first team. By his own admission, that was a situation in which he had to be “the manager he had to be”.
His Castilla side had a very clear identity: possession, high pressing, intensity and the desire to dominate games. Flexibility when required, but with one non-negotiable principle: aggressive pressing without the ball. This is not a coach who wants his team sitting deep and defending its own box.
His influences are easy to spot too. Rafa Benítez’s obsession with improving players individually. Pellegrini’s love of attacking width and tempo. Mourinho’s intensity, leadership and training-ground detail. And from Ancelotti and Del Bosque, the belief that man-management is just as important as tactics.
Fulham have decided to back his vision
@WhiteNoise1879 I’ve tried to defer judgment, but the club looks so weak and desperate now. Silva is ruining his reputation. He should've been honest like Iraola and Glasner, taken the immediate backlash, and left with some goodwill intact. Instead, we get this...
RBR's SLM set up
Thx to @XPBImages.
Inside the nose is a unit that both hydraulically pushes down the flaps & finely adjusts the flap angle, with a splined tool through the access hole.
NB the rocker set-up is guesswork, there must a return spring too.

🚨❌ EXCL: Ricardo Pepi’s potential move to Fulham now called OFF.
PSV Eindhoven inform Fulham this morning, no green light despite agreement on €37m package.
PSV can’t find a replacement and the deal is not proceeding.
@FulhamTransfer In the minority here clearly but I am 100% for this. Massive upgrade on Adama and if he can regain anywhere near his old levels would be a starter every week
@Roblox I need some help with my son's account. I can't login or do reset password. He has roblox points to spend and I can't give permission to play certain games too as the email won't send to me. I have tried your support function online and have had no response.
Looking for 3 (maybe 4) tickets for Monday v Forest, preferably next to each other in the JH or Hammy end. Have a OneFulham account already. Thanks! @WhiteNoise1879 @fulham_spares
Our defending has been laughable tonight and in the last 3 or 4 games. We have no control. I don't know what's changed from last season but something is amiss #ffc
@alexiwobi I heard you like playing 5 a side. How would you fancy coming to help me and my (slightly old) team against a load of youngsters? My offer includes covering your match fee (£7) and a Maoam for every goal scored. We play in Kent so probs not far away. 7pm Monday night
