Shahid Khan - The Fulham Chairman, has asked me to come in for a chat.
SK - "Hi Jamie, we need to talk"
JC - "Okay boss, go ahead"
SK - "You cant manage these players can you?"
JC - "Were 3 games in, weve been unlucky to lose in 2. It's a bit early to say to be honest."
SK - "I don't believe you can manage these players. You're not good enough, you have until the next game to turn this around."
JC - "I'm not good enough? Look at those ******* players out there! They don't chase down, they don't go in hard, they do not try. If they don't give 100% what do you want me to do?"
SK - "You've wasted money on new signings too. You cant keep blaming the players."
JC - "What do you mean wasted the money? I haven't spent a penny. I'm not to be disrespectful, but you don't have a clue about football. You can lose 3 games in a row but to come at me and say I'm not good enough is unacceptable."
SK - "Don't tell me about this sport. I know much more than you will ever about football."
JC - "I can't believe you actually believe that. My knowledge for football is huge, it always has been. I will tell you what, you can shove the job. I quit! I will show you who has the bigger knowledge in football. You watch!"
I left there, feeling angry but I had realised what a stupid decision I have just made. I just walked out on a job I had managed for 3 games. That will not go down well on the CV. Could you blame me though? between a squad with no fight or desire and a chairman who didn't even give me a chance, I had to go. This is not the start I would have wanted to my manager career at all.
