And when asked whether he will still be at Craven Cottage in ten years' time, he replied: "For 25 years I hope, it's possible.

"I take great pleasure in seeing the club move in the right direction. We've been in the Premier League now for nearly eight years. It's really a miracle."

When Al Fayed took control of Fulham, the west Londoners were languishing in the old second division.

But he has transformed the club's fortunes, bankrolling their ascent to the top flight where they have remained since 2001.
