The 2008-09 season will be Fulham's 111th professional season and their 8th consecutive season in the top flight of English football, the Premier League since their return in 2001. They are likely to be managed by Roy Hodgson in his first full season as Fulham manager. Fulham will be playing in the Premier League by virtue of staying up on goal difference from Reading on the last day of the previous campaign. There has also been the added bonus of the fact that due to the Fair Play league, Fulham could have been eligible for entry to the UEFA Cup,[1]however Man City were eventually awarded the place.[2] Fulham released ten players between May 23 and 28, including defenders Carlos Bocanegra and Philippe Christanval and goalkeeper Tony Warner.[3] Brian McBride also decided to leave the club and return home to the United States after four years at Fulham.[4]

[edit] Transfers

[edit] Summer

Mark Schwarzer arrived on a free transfer from Middlesbrough F.C. when his contract expired and fellow goalkeeper David Stockdale came from Darlington. Zoltan Gera may also be on his way to Craven Cottage from West Bromwich Albion, despite their promotion to the Premier League, as he rejected "the best contract the club could [offer]". [5]
