time has now arrived.

time is right because I have found a very good man in Shahid Khan to accept the
responsibility and privilege that I have enjoyed at Fulham since 1997.
‘Fulham
will be in very good hands with Shahid, whose success in business and passion
for sport is very evident.
‘I
ask everyone who loves Fulham and our Craven Cottage home to welcome Shahid as
he begins his journey as the next guardian of Fulham Football Club.’

said: ‘Fulham is the perfect club at the perfect time for me. I want to
be clear, I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham, but a custodian
of the club on behalf of its fans.
‘My
priority is to ensure the club and Craven Cottage each have a viable and
sustainable Premier League future that fans of present and future generations
can be proud of.’
