• Why a disaster for the Khans? (NT) -- Observer, Friday, September 27, 02:47:52pm (92.40.176.205.threembb.co.uk/92.40.176.205)
  • Because those people seeking compensation will sue to the club and that is owned by Khan. They are not seeking compensation from the Fayed estate but from Harrods the business (NT) -- View from the Riverside, Friday, September 27, 05:00:39pm (NoHost/78.143.161.23)

• What does this have to do with the Khans?? Very strange comment. (NT) -- GA, Friday, September 27, 03:17:59pm (ool-18b90125.dyn.optonline.net/24.185.1.37)
  • Pretty obvious really, the Khan's own Fulham Football Club and FFC is just about to have its name tarnished at a time the Khan's are trying to promote a private members Club and Fulham Pier, big money and big business won't want to be associated with the name Fulham especially if this gets as bad as they are predicting it will. -- Gary Elkins Shin Pad, Friday, September 27, 05:16:24pm (syn-097-076-236-132.biz.spectrum.com/97.76.236.132)

• Calm down dear. What about the Man City, Man Utd, Sheffield Utd, Preston rapists? How does the Fayed case reflect on London? Is there a high probability of getting raped in London? How will that affect tourism? How will department stores recover from this? Is there a good chance of getting raped in John Lewis? What about if you go to see the Pyramids? Could you get raped by an Egyptian? (NT) -- Questions, questions..., Friday, September 27, 03:18:12pm (NoHost/90.213.242.75)

• Up to now no women from FFC have come forward, despite being offered support by the lawyers,but rumours abound. It seems team managers took protective action around the players but what about the staff? If women do come forwards they should get our full support but assuming there were incidents as Fulham is not warranted. (NT) -- red kev, Friday, September 27, 05:50:27pm (NoHost/206.245.206.124)

• You do overdramatise your posts! Are we under s cloud because we watched Fulham or the programme sellers at the time? The Khans have their hands clean. As do all of us. (NT) -- Perry Mason, Friday, September 27, 06:05:11pm (host31-53-230-25.range31-53.btcentralplus.com/31.53.230.25)

• He isnt going to be going down for anything (NT) -- Waterboy, Friday, September 27, 06:29:56pm (NoHost/90.243.158.12)

• I don't see it unless they knew after purchase and helped keep things under wraps. Beyond that, if anything this is an opportunity to expunge Al-Fayed from the club and make Fulham truly their own. Work with victims to investigate, resolve and redress, including cleaning house of any people involved in covering things up are still around. The one big headache could be Ali Mac given how much they rely on him, given that he was there during that time. So questions will need to be asked of him (NT) -- eganonoa, Friday, September 27, 06:54:56pm (pool-108-18-149-21.washdc.fios.verizon.net/108.18.149.21)
  • Absolutely spot on. I hope this presnts an opportunity for the Khans to get closer to the fans and distance themselves even further from a man they clearly disliked. Ali Mac must be nervous though. The club is bigger than any individual. (NT) -- Timar, Friday, September 27, 10:29:20pm (NoHost/212.119.51.57)

• Get a grip, GESP, you take hyperbole to new levels. Such an old Doris. (NT) -- Spencer, Friday, September 27, 06:59:07pm (4e5626e5.skybroadband.com/78.86.38.229)

• All this Fayed ado has as much to do with the Khans as does GESP's football knowledge. (NT) -- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!, Friday, September 27, 08:06:37pm (unn-154-47-29-185.datapacket.com/154.47.29.185)

• As far as the future of Fulham goes I’d be loads more concerned about Muniz not trying and a plan /plot to swap him for years older injury hit Richarlison . Think Muniz is our furure (NT) -- alanos, Friday, September 27, 09:03:18pm (82-132-214-76.dab.02.net/82.132.214.76)

• one thing to remember however is that the legal responsibility for anything wrong under Al Fayed falls on teh club not the owner. The club inherited any wrong doing of the previous owner, so if there was wrongdoing the club will pay... (NT) -- red kev, Friday, September 27, 09:47:47pm (NoHost/206.245.206.124)
  • Yes but the owners are sole owners of the club, so any payment comes from their pockets unless they want to walk away from it, and even then any buyer would price in liabilities like this. So it does matter to them financially, even though I disagree with OP on the reputational point (NT) -- eganonoa, Friday, September 27, 11:39:41pm (pool-108-18-149-21.washdc.fios.verizon.net/108.18.149.21)
  • Well someone has to and the presumption is that some club employees knew of his activities and hence a cover up. But I would imagine claims against his estate will be made. (NT) -- CB, Saturday, September 28, 08:11:15am (213-18-176-111.customer.gigaclear.net/213.18.176.111)

• Absolute nonsense. The lawyers are desperately trying to drag FFC into it and anyone else as it strengthens their case. There's a reason this has all blown up after he died - and the 'deflecting fron Huw' agenda hasn't helped. If any women who were at Fulham claim sexual abuse I'd investigate their claims very thoroughly. In fact anyone coming forward who is found to be lying - including the Harrods women - should be jailed. (NT) -- Rupert, Saturday, September 28, 07:32:03am (NoHost/90.213.210.213)
  • Fayed had his own private apartment at Harrods. At Craven Cottage and Motspur Park he was essentially in public limiting his "opportunities" We'll see what allegations are made but unlike you I would tend to assume them to be probably true. For the Khans there may be some financial loss but they're not otherwise involved. What matters of course is how much truth there is in all this and whether living employees were in any way complicit. (NT) -- The Man With No Name, Saturday, September 28, 10:24:42am (199.230.200.146.dyn.plus.net/146.200.230.199)
    • When doing a stadium tour we were shown a small private room at the back of the stand for Fayed. I assumed it was for half time etc. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, September 28, 11:04:34am (NoHost/31.94.74.67)
      • Surely the King size bed and candles were a bit of a give away :) (NT) -- CB, Saturday, September 28, 01:09:40pm (213-18-176-111.customer.gigaclear.net/213.18.176.111)
        • I did wonder about that. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, September 28, 01:22:09pm (NoHost/31.94.74.66)
