Fulham FC have been without a manager since Kit Symons' departure on Sunday, they currently lie in 12th place in the Sky Bet Championship: above rivals QPR, but a fair way off Shahid Khan's expectations.

Should Fulham go for Danny Murphy?
Should Fulham go for Danny Murphy?

Conveniently, there is now an international break, so there will be plenty of time for a decision to be made.

Former Fulham player and captain, Danny Murphy's name has been mentioned by the media, as there seems to be growing interest in what Murphy plans to do in his life after football.

Originally, after the sacking of Felix Magath in September 2014, Murphy made it common knowledge that he fancied the job. Nothing really ever happened, and Murphy ended up being handed a punditry role for the BBC.

Since 2013, Murphy has been working on earning his coaching badges. A coach in the Football League needs an FA B License (or higher) in order to be allowed to work. Danny Murphy earned his B license back in 2013.

However, if Fulham came knocking; that would be an offer which Murphy just simply couldn't, and wouldn't, refuse, right?

Maybe, due to Danny Murphy being an inexperienced manager; he could be an assistant to a more experienced manager, and gain invaluable experience that could serve him well in the future. He is still a young man after all.

Many fans on Twitter have been calling for the former Whites captain to return, as he seems to talk sense and understand modern football.

One fan, @AnthonyBlair94, tweeted: "Danny Murphy for Fulham manager! #FFC". Another, @TartanJam82, also tweeted in support: "Oh, and Danny Murphy for Assistant manager please @FulhamFC."

Murphy spent five seasons at Fulham making more than 200 appearances.

As we have seen with the much-loved Garry Monk at Swansea, Gary Neville at Manchester United and even Harry Redknapp at West Ham United, former-players can go on to bring success to the club which love them dearly. The fans adore what Murphy has done for the club, and Murphy has an immense respect and love for the Fulham fans.

Currently, Murphy's odds of 33/1 suggest he's in with an outside chance, while Sky Bet have former footballer Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink as favourite at 7/4.
