Having finished in third place in last season's Championship and won the play-off, Fulham owner- Iranian billionaire Shahid Khan invested heavily into player recruitment in a bid to make the club competitive ahead of its return to the Premier League.

Money to the tune of over £100m was spent on new arrivals, with the likes of the highly sought after Jean Michel Seri, Max Meyer, Andre Schurlle amongst others arriving Craven Cottage.

The Cottagers were expected to make an impact in the upper half of the table while also playing attractive football, but were faced with the harsh realities of Premier League football and found themselves some way off their targets with their porous defense proving to be their undoing.

They parted ways with manager Slavisa Jokanovic and replaced him with Claudio Ranieri, but the club still finds themselves in the relegation zone and have just two wins from 19 matches, which is rather shameful considering how much money was spent.
