Father of two Shahid Khan is a self made billionaire. Forbes recently valued his networth at $2.9 billion and is ranked 179 on the world richest men ranking. Khan is the owner of flex and gates (dealers inauto parts) he is also the owner of Jacksonville Jaguars. The native of Pakistan bought over Fullham completely debt free for a handsome fee of $300million. recall that last January, he bought NFL Jaguars for $770 million.It is left to be seen how he intends to transform the fortunes of the club and their consistent under performance in the EPL.After the take over, former owner Al Fayed had this to say "The time is right because I have found a very good man in Shahid Khan to accept the responsibility and privilege that I have enjoyed at Fulham since 1997.
'Fulham will be in very good hands with Shahid, whose success in business and passion for sport is very evident. I ask everyone who loves Fulham and our Craven Cottage home to welcome Shahid as he begins his journey as the next guardian of Fulham Football Club.'. responding, new owner enthused"
Today, he is giving me the privilege and responsibility of serving as the next custodian of Fulham Football Club.  I am extremely honoured to accept and want to thank him, on behalf of everyone who loves Fulham, for 16 years of exceptional service to the Club. Al Fayed rescued the club in its hour of need and has led it to a sustained place within the Premier League.

'Fulham is the perfect club at the perfect time for me. I want to be clear, I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham, but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans. My priority is to ensure the club and Craven Cottage each have a viable and sustainable Premier League future that fans of present and future generations can be proud of. We will manage the club's financial and operational affairs with prudence and care, with youth development and community programs as fundamentally important elements of Fulham's future.'

Here is wishing Fullham the very best of Luck. lets watch for quality signings from them, they may just do some magic like Manchester City did.
