LONDON (Reuters) - Fulham, relegated from the Premier League last season and now struggling at the wrong end of the Championship, have taken the unusual step of appointing a five-man committee including two ex-players to choose their new manager.

American owner Shahid Khan has asked former players Danny Murphy and Brian McBride, ex-Sunderland player and chairman Niall Quinn, academy director Huw Jenkins and a Fulham fan and Nike director David Daly to suggest the new man even though caretaker Kit Symons is in pole position for the job.
