Fulham Folklore: Rene Meulensteen’s 76 day reign

23rd June 2023

Rene Meulensteen may have spent only two and a half months in charge of Fulham, but he packed more drama into that spell than many managers do in years.

Welcome to the inaugural Fulham Folklore, where we look at iconic Fulham players, moments, managers and seasons. And we start today, with arguably the birth of Fulham’s banter era.

Late goals, annihilating defeats, impromptu badminton matches and even a transfer chase for 2013’s bad boy of football.

In this episode, Sammy, Drew and Farrell take a trip down memory lane, to Fulham’s 13/14 relegation campaign to chart what went wrong for Rene, and whether his sacking on Valentine’s Day was harsh or fair.
