Fulham is on the verge of appointing Alvaro Arbeloa as their new manager, a move that could lead to relegation. Keith Wyness, former Everton chief executive, believes that Arbeloa's lack of experience will hinder Fulham's chances of success.
What's the verdict on Arbeloa?
Wyness thinks that Arbeloa was promoted too quickly at Real Madrid and will struggle in the Premier League. He fears that Fulham will be in trouble by Christmas if Arbeloa is appointed.
Why is this move risky for Fulham?
Fulham is currently 11th in the league with 52 points from 38 games, having recently beaten Newcastle 2-0 on 2026-05-24. However, with players like J. Kusi Asare and R. Sessegnon currently sidelined, the team needs a strong manager to lead them forward.
What's the current state of Fulham?
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| League standing | 11th |
| Points | 52 |
| Recent form | WDLLW |
| Last result | Fulham 2-0 Newcastle (2026-05-24) |
| Currently sidelined | J. Kusi Asare, R. Sessegnon |
Wyness believes that Shahid Khan is taking a huge risk by appointing Arbeloa, who has no experience in the Premier League. He thinks that Fulham will be one of the bottom three teams if Arbeloa is appointed.
What's next for Fulham?
Only time will tell if Arbeloa will be able to prove Wyness wrong and lead Fulham to success. For now, the team's fans are left wondering if they've made a huge mistake by appointing an inexperienced manager.
