Shahid Khan is Fulham’s new owner

Shahid Khan, the owner of the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, has reportedly bought English Premier League club Fulham from Mohamed al-Fayed on Friday.

According to the Fulham website Khan “assumes 100 per cent ownership of the club, debt-free, as of today.”

“My time of serving as the custodian of Fulham football club would one day come to an end, and I feel that time has now arrived,” al-Fayed, who bought the club in 1997 told the club’s website.

“The time is right because I have found a very good man in Shahid Khan to accept the responsibility and privilege that I have enjoyed at Fulham since 1997. Fulham will be in very good hands with Shahid, whose success in business and passion for sport is very evident,” al-Fayed added.

“Fulham is the perfect club at the perfect time for me,” Shahid Khan said.

“I want to be clear, I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans. My priority is to ensure the club and Craven Cottage each has a viable and sustainable Premier League future that fans of present and future generations can be proud of,” Khan added.
