Pre-season starts earlier and earlier.
At least it seems that way anyway.
Fulham's players - those who have not been on international duty - will be back on the training pitch on Monday, just 41 days after losing in the Championship play-off semi-final to Reading.
And manager Slavisa Jokanovic, who is understood to have made bids for three frontmen already since the last season ended, is enjoying some last-minute relaxation on the beach, before returning to Motspur Park next week.
The Serbian posted a photo from his Twitter account yesterday, showing him on the beach. Underneath he wrote: "Taking advantage of the last weekend of the break before an intense period of work."
I'm sure the Fulham players will be delighted to read that the start of pre-season training is going to be "intense".
