We asked for your views on whether Fulham have achieved enough in the Premier League, 25 years to the day on from first winning promotion to the top flight under Jean Tigana.

Here are some of your replies:

Billy: Honestly? No. Fulham should have at least won a trophy, either an FA Cup or League Cup, by now. There is something in the club mentality that stops us from reaching our potential. We are always nearly there, but not nearly enough. You have to think about why we cannot compete at a higher level.

Jim: There are probably more than 80 teams that would be more than happy to swap their last 25 years with ours. Any long-term Fulham supporter wouldn't swap the last 25 years for our previous 25 years.

Ali: For the money spent and the players let go, constant mid-table is a success. The bigger success will be the rebuild if Marco Silva, Raul Jimenez and Harry Wilson leave this season, and in a couple years players like Bernd Leno leave - the types who have been starters since we came up last time. Watching teams like West Ham and Wolves - who were in Europe recently - struggle made me realise you're one bad manager or a few signings away from that bottom three.

David: I saw my first Fulham game in 1947, aged six. I have followed them ever since and I am still seldom confident, especially when playing lower-ranked teams, but true love never dies.

Chris: Unfortunately we badly invested in that 2001 season, where a multi-millionaire owner would have made a difference (thinking of the likes of Jack Waller etc). Once Abramovich came in, billionaire owners were needed for instant success and we never truly kicked on. We then became a selling club and lost the few stars we had in those first two seasons, within half a decade. Since then, there have been some highlights but we have missed great opportunities to get a trophy. We will likely drop down in the next couple of seasons, especially with the PSR/FFP rules.
