Chris Coleman has helped generate thousands of U.S. based Fulham supporters over the past two years, and the Welshman couldn’t be happier with the effect of his purchases from across the pond.

Coleman is still only 35 years of age, one of the youngest men ever to manage in the top-flight.

As the face of football changed, so too did the disparity between the haves and the have nots, and mounting financial pressures led to the premature break up of this side which inevitably triggered a major downward spiral in Fulhams fortunes.
But Fulham Football Club was too much a part of the football establishment to slip away into the abyss, and this was at the forefront of former player Micky Adams mind when he assumed control of team affairs in 1996.
