Grant happy to stay on as Fulham search for boss

Peter Grant says he is happy to stay in caretaker charge for as long as Fulham need him to as the club look for a new head coach.

Development-squad boss Grant presided over the 1-1 draw at MK Dons after the Whites were unable to make a permanent appointment during the international break.

“I don’t want the job at all. I’m here to do a job for the club,” Grant said.

“I thoroughly enjoyed today, I loved every moment. But I think we’ve got to get the right man to get to the Premier League.

“If I can give the club an opportunity to take a bit of time, and they ask me to keep doing what I’m doing, then I’ll be delighted to do that.

“Any way I can help, I will do. But hopefully then we’ll be in a good place that I can hand the reins over.”

Moussa Dembele equalised for Fulham on the stroke of half-time after Dean Bowditch had scored for the hosts.

And Grant said: “I can see the flaws in our team. We’ve conceded a lot of goals but were the top scorers in the league before today. We were poor in the first half but more diligent in the second.

“It’s been a tough couple of weeks for them; losing the game against Birmingham, losing their manager, and it being the international break when a lot of the boys have been away.

“They’ve had a lot of different voices over the last few weeks so I think we can be happy with a point.”
