2001–02 Fulham F.C. season

February 2015 February 2015 Fulham F.C. 2001–02 FA Premier League Mohamed Al-Fayed Jean Tigana Craven Cottage 13th Hayles (8)Saha (8)Malbranque (8) Hayles (12) FA Cup Semi-finals League Cup Fourth round 19,343 2000–01 2002–03 The 2001–02 season was Fulham F.C.'s 104th season of professional football and their first season in the Premier League. They were managed by Jean Tigana, who had also overseen their promotion from the First Division the previous season. Season summary After the high-profile signings of Juventus goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and Lyon striker Steve Marlet, amongst others, Fulham chairman Mohammed Al-Fayed boasted that the newly promoted side would win the Premiership title. As it was, Fulham never came anywhere near matching the pace set by the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, but the Cottagers still impressed upon their return to the top flight, peaking as high as eighth at one point. The club's good form gave hope to fans that their team could challenge for European qualification either through the league or their FA Cup run, but a run of nine games without a win dragged the club down to 16th with four games left to play and four points between them and 18th-placed Ipswich.http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2001-2002/table/2002-04-13 English Premier League 2001-2002 Table - statto.com 13 November 2012 7 April 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100407111732/http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2001-2002/table/2002-04-13 live Seven points from the club's last four games lifted Fulham to safety in 13th, and, despite the poor league form and elimination from the FA Cup in the semi-finals, Fulham managed to achieve European qualification via the Intertoto Cup.
