Tom Cairney says that the achievements of this season should not be forgotten, even if Fulham didn’t end up quite where we would have liked.
After spending the vast majority of the campaign in the top half, results on the final day confirmed an 11th place finish for the Whites.
But when asked what it says for the Club’s progress that we were disappointed not to achieve a European place, our Captain said: “It’s huge. I think some people forget that this is our third season, after being in the Championship.
“I feel like people forget that sometimes, and every year we’ve built, and built, and built. We broke our record points tally for the Premier League in Fulham’s history this season, so things have gotten better.
“We could have got to an FA Cup Semi-Final but obviously lost to the winners in the end, so it is what it is. We’ve had ups and downs but, listen, we’ve built a strong team, a strong squad, and the Manager’s done incredible in them three years.”
Sunday’s season finale brought the curtain down on Cairney’s 10th year at Craven Cottage, with discussions still ongoing regarding a potential new contract.
“We’ll see what happens next week,” he said. “We’re still in talks, so it’s a weird feeling right now. I don’t know which way to go about it, obviously I want to thank a few people, but at the same time, we’re still in talks.”
