Old boy lifts lid on Cottage unrest

Former striker Bobby Zamora claims the 'vast majority' of the Fulham squad do not get along with manager Martin Jol.

The 31-year-old hitman, who departed Craven Cottage to join London rivals QPR for £5million in the January transfer window, endured a turbulent six months at Fulham when Jol took over the first-team affairs in summer 2011. Zamora had been forced to train with the reserves last December before finally getting a route out of the club when former boss Mark Hughes took him to Loftus Road. And he has now pointed to the likes of Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele's summer departures from Craven Cottage as a clear indication that all is not well with Jol and members of his squad. Zamora told Standard Sport: "I left because I didn't see eye to eye with Martin Jol. I think that is the case with the vast majority of players there now. A lot of the lads aren't happy. But that's that. There were a few bits and pieces but we just didn't see eye to eye."
