Mohamed Al-Fayed might have sold Harrods but he has no intention of cashing in on Fulham – despite the London’s clubs European exploits.
Roy Hodgson’s side have shocked the footballing world with a remarkable run to the Europa League final but the People carries a report in this morning’s edition detailing discussions with club insiders, who claim that neither Al-Fayed’s decision to sell Harrods or Fulham’s increased stature after their stunning success will convince him to entertain offers for the capital’s oldest professional football club.
Club sources claim that, far from looking to make a return on the millions of pounds he has invested since taking charge at Craven Cottage in 1997, Al-Fayed’s passion for the club has been re-energised by their sensational Europa League run. Al-Fayed is known to keep his business activities strictly separate from the running of his football club and wants to encourage Roy Hodgson to build on his success this season by agreeing a hefty summer transfer budget.
