Posted on July 27, 2010 by Kevin

Fulham chairman Mohamed Al Fayed insists that the club is taking its time to decide on the appointment of new manager.

Sven Goran Eriksson was speculated by media as the likely candidate to succeed Roy Hodgson after Dutchman Marton Jol ruled himself out of the shortlist. Dave Jones the former Wolves and current manager of Cardiff City is believed to be the latest candidate in the running for Craven Cottage managerial position.

As quoted by Skysports News, Al Fayed said:
“The chairman is obviously confident that we will have someone in place but we won’t be rushed into making a decision.

“There is no deadline. The chairman wants to make sure that he has the right man for the job and will make that decision as and when he sees necessary.

“We have our second friendly of the pre-season tour of Sweden tomorrow and the chairman is very happy with the way that preparations are going under Ray Lewington so we are not panicking here.

“It’s business as usual. Ray Lewington is doing a great job with the pre-season campaign and the managerial situation will be resolved as and when we have the right man for the job.”
