Hodgson ready to spend big to get Cottagers out of trouble

FULHAM will spend their way out of trouble with chairman Mohamed Al Fayed undeterred by the prospect of paying large sums for the right players.

New boss Roy Hodgson insists the Cottagers chief is prepared to dip into his personal fortune to recruit the reinforcements needed to survive in the Premier League.

And Hodgson claims “persuasive” Harrods owner Al Fayed will pay what it takes to keep Fulham out of the Coca-Cola Championship.
