Fulham, having climbed back to the Premier League for the 2018/19 season, unfortunately slipped back down after just a year. They fought hard last season in the Championship to make it back but their return has been rocky—with fans seeing little to cheer about as the team faced three back-to-back losses, allowing 10 goals. Their recent 3-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa was apparently the final straw for Paddy Power, marking one of their quickest decisions to pay out.

Fulham's defense has been lackluster this season, and football analyst Jamie Carragher didn’t hold back in his critique, noting, 'The performance was so poor, it was actually comical.'

It seems football analysts across the board echo Carragher’s sentiment. Betway's current odds stand at 4/11 for Fulham's drop, and Paddy Power is still fielding bets on this, with odds of 1/4 following today’s announcement.

Scott Parker, the manager, might be reconsidering his role amid increasing scrutiny at Craven Cottage. This former England national, a dedicated player for Fulham for four memorable years, feels deeply connected to the club. However, Premier League owners are often unforgiving when managers fall short, and bookmakers speculate with 4/1 odds that Fulham's owner, Shahid Khan, might decide to dismiss Parker. BoyleSports Fulham supporters may still find reason to hang onto hope; it's important to remember that we're at the season's start. Consider Paddy Power's swiftest payout 11 years ago—they did it for Stoke City, who then avoided relegation, requiring Paddy Power to issue a retraction.
