Exactly; must have come as a surprise to the recent Premier League club that they could be rebuffed that many times. I doubt they would pursue CH any further once they go a big fat NO
Something amiss at that club that nobody wants the job when they obviously have much more money that most Championship clubs.

I was told today that Rowett won't be talking to Fulham.
With Donaldson and Cotterill out they are chasing two loan players in the next day or so.
Expecting Solomon-Otabor to start on Saturday. Talented young striker with no fear of shooting on site.

What about QPR
Staying put at Blues is what was said by people who trust him

I think CP is not a bad manager myself.
I have a feeling CH would have been contacted and sounded out to see if he was interested and Chris probably said he was staying where he was.
We will never know this for sure but I think that's a relatively educated guess considering all the others they have tried to approach, seem to currently be managing teams in the top part of the Championship. The CH one probably didn't leak because the Fulham Chairman would have had Chris telephone number from when he was interviewed for the Fulham job when Symons got the job. Consequently he would not have needed to go through a third party

True of players but I'm not sure if there are any "tapping up" rules applicable to managers and coaches.
There are lots of ways they could ascertain if Hughton would consider a move if approached. My guess is it'll are right if you're they haven't got to him yet. If he were on their list I suspect it would be in the media. Of course they are now getting increasingly desperate...............

Tappng up is not new as a personal friend who played for Fulham had a chap call to sell him insurance and suggested if he asked for a transfer and moved to another club like BHA they would offer him x amount. and was very specific on the amount. Fulham manager Mancini complained but they couldnt prove anything and BHA denied any knowledge of an 'insurance ageant' So there are many ways this can be done without it being an obvious approach to either player or a manager.

I think (through no inside knowledge like BG
), and have always thought / assumed that this type of thing goes on ALLLLLLLLLLLLL the time tbh... I think there's a 'darker' cut-throat side to football that many fans will never see (and I'm not talking Fifa

There are presumably no rules to stop a club talking to an agent and that agent talking to his client.

A mate of mine plays semi pro and he's been tapped up a few times so can bet your bottom dolla it happens constantly in football. And tbf like BG says, it can be done in more 'legal' ways. It's like selling a pencil on ebay for £100 with a free ticket to the cup final... technically it's OK etc...
