Mohamed Al Fayed: 'True to Fulham's strong heritage'

Mohamed Al Fayed: 'True to Fulham's strong heritage'

A second successive annual profit enabled the club to pay off all external debt, while Al Fayed converted outstanding loans to the business into equity.

The news comes on the same day Fulham revealed a profit of £1.2m for the year ended 30 June 2012 - results which follow on from a record profit for the previous 12 months.

The club's Europa League participation, a ninth-placed finish in the Premier League and an increase in attendance figures all contributed to the healthy figures.

Al Fayed said: "Fulham continues to make great strides and, following planning permission for the redevelopment of the Riverside Stand, we will continue to prosper and grow.

"For almost the last 15 years, I have ensured the club moves in the right direction and remains true to our proud history, strong heritage and past traditions."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.
