Fulham Football Club Info

Fulham F.C. Manager

Fulham’s current manager is Roy Hodgson, known for leading the Swiss national team to qualify in the 1994 world cup and 1996 European cup, and has previously coached such noteworthy teams as FC Copenhagen, Blackburn Rovers and Inter Milan. Hodgson became Fulham’s manager in December of 2007, and although the team absorbed a number of losses in the initial few months of his tenure a late rally toward the end of the season saw the club escape relegation, and go on to higher standing in the 08-09 season than they had ever previously achieved.

The team won a number of amateur trophies in its early days, including the West London Amateur Cup in 1887. Fulham FC turned professional shortly thereafter, joining the second division of the old Southern League in 1898.

The 1997-98 season was the beginning of a new start for Fulham, and the team steadily gained momentum until at last breaking into the elite ranks of the Premier League in the 2001-02 season, where it has remained since, and seeing its greatest success in the club’s history by finishing close to the top of the Premiership table in ‘08-’09.

After success in the Southern League the team was admitted into the larger Football League in 1907, where they remained and enjoyed success until 1949, saw them promoted to first division, the top flight of English football at the time.

The club was founded as an amateur team in 1879 by members of the congregation of the Church of England on Star Road in West Kensington.

Craven Cottage – Fulham FC Stadium

Fulham FC makes its home at the stadium known as Craven Cottage, one of the oldest English football grounds still in use in the present day. The original building was constructed in 1780 by the nobleman William Craven to serve as a residence and a hunting lodge. The building was lived in by a number of people over its lifetime, which was brought to a close by a fire in 1888. It was left abandoned after it burned, and was not used again for any purpose until Fulham’s early members scouted it out while searching for space in 1894. After two years of work clearing out overgrowth and re-purposing the site, it was made a viable football ground in 1896. A series of renovations and additions lead eventually to the modern incarnation of the field, a still small but well-maintained ground with segmented seating areas arranged in rectangle formation around the pitch. Craven Cottage holds 25,678 at top capacity.

Fulham’s home colours are white and black, and the team crest is a simple black and white shield containing the angular abbreviation FFC.

The Cottagers fared poorly in their first stint in the top flight, and their third season saw them in last and relegated back to second division, where they remained until promotion saw their most successful season yet, finishing 10th in the first division in 1959-60. The next few decades saw ups and downs, including a stint down in third division a few years later and then again in the early seasons after the creation of the new Premier League, which marked their lowpoint.

The Fulham team is the oldest professional football team in the British capital, and presently play in the English Premier League, finishing in 7th place in the ‘08-’09 season.

Fulham FC is an English football club based in the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London.

They are also known as the Cottagers after their stadium, Craven Cottage.

Chelsea FC Overview

More recently, after the 2003 sale of the club to Russian businessman Roman Abramovich, the team began to dominate both the English and International stage. Under their new ownership, the Blues spent upwards of 100 million pounds on new talent and a new manager, Jose Mourinho. It was under Mourinho that Chelsea achieved its greatest successes. Chelsea won back to back league championships in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006, becoming only the 5th English team to do so, as well as capturing the 2007 FA and League Cups. Chelsea made it to their first ever UEFA Champions League Final in 2007 under new manager Avram Grant. Since then, Chelsea has continued to play on a high level.

Originally known as the Pensioners, Chelsea was formed on March, 14 1905 and was elected to the Football League not long after. Upon their entry into the League, Chelsea’s showings were less than impressive. It wasn’t until the 1950’s that Chelsea became a formidable adversary on the British stage. New manager Ted Drake took over in 1952 and began to transform the team into a version of what we know today. Now known as the Blues, Drake and his new squad won the 1954-55 League Championship, the club’s first major trophy.

Chelsea FC Manager

Aside from winning, the other thing the Blues have been known for is a revolving door of managers. This season is no different as coach Carlo Ancelotti will take over the helm. Formally of AC Milan, Ancelotti won 234 matches with the club and captured two UEFA Super Cups (03, 07) as well as two UEFA Champions League titles (02-03, 06-07). With his creative style of coaching as well as his experience in high pressure situations, Ancelotti should have Blue’s fans eagerly anticipating the future of the team.

Chelsea F.C. has a long and rich history in the realm of English Football. For most of their existence, they have been considered as part of the top-tier of English Football clubs. As a member of the English Premier League, Chelsea F.C. faces stiff competition each year, making their recent accomplishments that much more impressive.

Chelsea FC Stadium

The Blues have played football for over a century and since their inception they have called only one place home, Stamford Bridge. With a bowl-like design and a covered terrace, Stamford Bridge could originally hold approximately 10,000 people. In an attempt to modernize the pitch in the 1970’s, a massive renovation was planned that would turn Stamford Bridge into a more modern 50,000 all-seater stadium. But this plan was stalled due to mounting financial costs. Renovation work continued in the mid-nineties and the plan was back in action.

Under manager Tommy Docherty, the Blues made formidable runs at trophies throughout the 1960’s but fell short in all but one endeavor, the 1964-65 League Cup. In 1970, Chelsea won the FA Cup over Leeds United and continued their winning ways into the following season, winning the UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup over Real Madrid, their first major European honor. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be until the mid-nineties that Chelsea would re-establish its dominance in the football world.

The New Premier League, founded in 1992, became Chelsea’s home upon its formation. The Blues would not display top form in the league until 1994, when they reached the FA Cup Final. 1996 saw a change for Chelsea as they added accomplished star Ruud Gullit as player-manager. Gullit signed several international players with tremendous talent which allowed the Blues to capture the 1997 FA Cup, firmly establishing them as one of England’s top sides.
