Fulham

Here's a rundown of how the club has pushed for promotion this season. Aleksandar Mitrovic record-breaking season. The biggest story of Fulham's season is the ...

Tony's dealings this coming summer will be a major focus for Fulham fans, and could be critical in the club's Premier League survival. In addition, Marco Silva and the club must sit down this summer and construct a Premier League tactical plan. Now, the club has seemingly perfected that style of play, but once again, a move up to the Premier League begs the question: Will Fulham give the possession style another go in the top flight, or change course to a more traditional counter-attacking side typical of newly promoted clubs? Players like Harrison Reed, Bobby Reid, and Tom Cairney had revivals in the Championship, but it's hard to forget how poor they were just a year prior in the top flight as regulars in the squad. His record-breaking Championship campaign proves he still has the cutting edge, but across three Premier League campaigns with Fulham and Newcastle, he has not been up to standards. A host of current players have already proven they don't belong in the Premier League, and improvements will be needed. Fulham stayed in the Premier League for 13 seasons, enjoying its greatest success through 2008-2012 that included a seventh-place finish and an appearance in the Europa League final, until it was relegated in 2014. It has been a season to remember for manager Marco Silva and Fulham, scoring an insane amount of goals in the chase for a Premier League place. Silva managed to take Parker's vision of Fulham as a possession team — which never truly came to fruition in the Premier League — and mold it into a reality in the Championship. Fulham held an average of 60.6 percent possession through the Championship season, completing a stunning 457 passes per game. Out of contract players include American defender Tim Ream, midfield maestro Jean-Michel Seri, and center-back Alfie Mawson. Ream is expected to leave the club, as he has proven below Premier League levels in both recent relegation campaigns. After relegation from the top flight in 1968, Fulham languished for decades in the lower leagues. A slight dip in late September saw the club drop to fifth place, but it quickly recovered and was top by late November, never again relinquishing its lead.

Marco Silva has guided Fulham back into the Premier League at the first time of asking with four matches to spare. It is the club's third promotion in five ...

But they do appear, at this early stage, to be better prepared than on either of their last two visits to the top flight. However, each of those stints were relatively short-lived, and he will be eager to prove he belongs in the top flight. And Silva has averaged 1.3 goals per game during his previous stints in the Premier League with Hull, Watford and Everton.

ADAM SHERGOLD AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: The familiar elation of Championship promotion for Fulham - only this time they took the easy route.

Moments later, a slack pass by Bambo Diaby presented Mitrovic with the ideal chance to complete his hat-trick. This time they have dominated the division, galloping clear from mid-January. The 19-year-old's goal left Fulham with promotion back to the top flight firmly in their sights Fulham have sealed promotion to the Premier League after cruising to a 3-0 win over Preston Their last two elevations to the Premier League have been accompanied by the nail-biting tension of the play-offs. Fulham 3-0 Preston: The Cottagers are BACK in the Premier League as Fabio Carvalho's strike and another Aleksandar Mitrovic brace hands them a dominant win over Ryan Lowe's men and seals promotion with four games to spare

Marco Silva's got the win they needed to secure promotion as Aleksandar Mitrovic took his Championship goal tally to 40.

We have to prepare for the big challenge ahead of us.” Emblematic of his club, Mitrovic is highly potent in the Championship and yet has usually disappointed in the higher echelon. The second half began almost like the first, Rodak making a fine save from Archer before Mitrovic lost to Iversen in a one-on-one duel. We have to be really positive, we have to have desire and ambition.” With two goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic taking him to 40 for the season and another from Fabio Carvalho, two stars of the campaign made sure Fulham achieved their objective for the season. Neat play between Mitrovic and the Liverpool-bound Carvalho might have resulted in a second in the 25th minute, only for the teenager to fire wide.

For a fifth straight season, Fulham is riding the promotion-relegation yo-yo. The Cottagers secured a top-two finish in England's Championship by virtue of ...

As for which clubs Fulham could be replacing in the Premier League, two of Silva’s former employers are in the mix. Its return to the Premier League was short-lived once again, with relegation in ’20-21, but it proved resilient—and dominant—in the second tier this season, never truly having its latest promotion effort in any kind of jeopardy. Whether that will be enough to reinforce the club—and find a suitable replacement for talented 19-year-old attacking star Fábio Carvalho, who is expected to leave for Liverpool—and prevent it from suffering immediate relegation in 2022–23 remains to be seen.

The home side doubled their advantage just after the half-hour mark when Kebano’s ball into the box took a fortunate deflection into the path of Carvalho and he fired a first-time shot into the back of the net. Mitrovic came agonisingly close to his hat-trick less than five minutes into the second half when he pounced on a loose ball and ran through on goal, only for Iversen’s outstretched leg to divert the ball onto the crossbar. The Cottagers had a chance to add to their lead in the 24th minute when the ball came in from Neeskens Kebano to Mitrovic and he backheeled the ball to Carvalho but his shot was wide of the target.

The hosts had a third before the half was over, as Harry Wilson found Mitrovic who finished clinically to score his 40th of the Championship season.

Fulham must therefore harness the momentum gathered from such a successful season and put it to good use in the early part of the new term. This does not last forever - as demonstrated by Sheffield United's second season demise - but could serve to energise a positive start to the new term. Regardless, Silva appears to know how to get the best out of his record-breaking striker. Relegation woe is followed by the joy of immediate promotion. But the race, in truth, is only half run. But this year, Fulham have pulled so far clear of the competition they have declared themselves winners with four games to spare.

Marco Silva's entertainers have dominated the Championship but thoughts will quickly turn to ending yo-yo status.

The Shakhtar Donetsk winger Manor Solomon, a name once on the lips of Pep Guardiola, is admired and a goalkeeper to rival Marek Rodak and Paulo Gazzaniga has been mooted. But like with Olise, the Football Association faces a challenge getting Carvalho, who was born in Lisbon but grew up in south London and has represented England at Under-18 level, in its grasp. In the end, it was Nottingham Forest’s late push for the top two that delayed the inevitable. Harry Wilson, a £12m signing from Liverpool, has been revitalised after loan spells and shone as part of Mitrovic’s supporting cast, alongside Fabio Carvalho and Neeskens Kebano, who is arguably enjoying his best form six years on from signing. Carvalho has been this season’s Michael Olise, a breakout young player with a wonderful sense of gravity, and the midfielder equally appears ready to take the step up in his stride. The brutal reality is that Marco Silva’s attention will soon turn, if it has not already, towards becoming at least the 17th best team in the country.

Fulham must therefore harness the momentum gathered from such a successful season and put it to good use in the early part of the new term. He has got better at coming deep and linking play and is much more of a complete forward, registering a further seven assists.

Replacing Fabio Carvalho will be key, as well as Mitrovic adapting well to the top flight and recruitment in multiple areas. “Congratulations to you supporters, and congratulations and thank you to the Fulham squad and Marco and the entire club staff! You all deserve this special night!

Fulham have secured promotion back to the Premier League in style - now can they stay up? (Getty Images). Promoted, relegated, promoted ...

At least, after being play-off winners in 2018 and 2020 and looking unprepared for the start of the season two years ago, Fulham have longer to plan. But, as the Premier League and the Championship feel ever further apart, Fulham again must aim to defy the laws of footballing gravity: that what went up must come down. But that led to a 13-year stay in the top flight. There is a case for arguing the Championship’s manager of the season is Huddersfield’s Carlos Corberan, Luton’s Nathan Jones, Nottingham Forest’s Steve Cooper or even Derby’s Wayne Rooney, who have had to do more with less. Norwich’s model has felt more organic, with greater continuity in the dugout and fewer expensive additions – certainly compared to Fulham’s masterclass in bad buying in 2018-19, when they spent £100 million to go down – but they can look two of a kind. A return of 10 goals and 15 assists suggests he was a Championship cheat code; as Mitrovic, on 40 goals, is closing in on Guy Whittingham’s divisional record, he is a still greater one.
