Fulham’s tempestuous ride between the top two divisions of English soccer has taken the London club out of the Premier League, by losing to Burnley 2-0 on Monday.
Fulham joined Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion in going down to the Championship, covering up the Premier League’s relegation battle at the earliest ever stage — with three rounds still to go.
“I’m bitterly disappointed, I’m hurt, I’m gutted,” said Fulham manager Scott Parker, who also presided over the team’s relegation two seasons ago when he was in charge on an interim basis.
“While it’s been looming over us for some time now, there’s no words I can put together other than I’m gutted we haven’t been successful this year.”
