And the 37-year-old has revealed he would consider succeeding German Magath if the Whites gave him the call.

"I care about the club deeply and I've always had a desire to get involved but that's out of my hands," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"I've always said I'd like to go back to Fulham at some point in some capacity because I have an affinity with the supporters there.

"If they did want to speak to me, of course I'd be open-minded to that. I would never disregard something like that.

"First and foremost, it's about finding the candidates that can get Fulham out of this mess and if people within the hierarchy of the club think that's someone with more experience than me, that's fine.

"My desire is to see them not at the bottom of the Championship because one thing is for sure, if their form continues and there was another relegation, the club structure and finances would be a catastrophe.”
