It's been a crazy five years for Fulham, going from ninth in the Premier League to 20th in the Championship.
That ninth place finish under Martin Jol, a season in which they competed in the Europa League, seems a world away now, and no more so than when they were struggling to maintain their Championship status at times last season.
On top of this, they've had the sale of the club from Mohamed al-Fayed to Shahid Khan, and five managers.
However, this season promises to be different.
The latest of the managers, Slavisa Jokanovic, has been given board backing and invested wisely to put together a solid team who are doing well.
Until Saturday's loss to Birmingham, their first of the season, they were in second position, and now still sit in the play-offs.
They face Burton on Tuesday before trips to Wigan and Nottingham Forest before the month is out, in addition to two home ties against Bristol City - one in the league and one in the EFL Cup.
Here, in the opinion of Football League World writer Ryan Evans, are the THREE best things to happen to Fulham in the last five years...
Appointing Slavisa Jokanovic
At the time, it seemed like the latest in a series of managers that would end up failing after a few months and getting sacked prematurely.
As it happened, it could be one of the best decisions that Shahid Khan has made since purchasing the club in 2013.
The Martin Jol, Rene Meulensteen and Felix Magath experiment as joint managers didn't work, and Kit Symons had no experience as a manager before taking over the reins permanently.
Jokanovic, however, won promotion to the Premier League with Watford and led his Maccabi Tel-Aviv side to the Champions League group stage in recent seasons.
Instead of signing players that came in for big money and did next to nothing; for example Bryan Ruiz, Dimitar Berbatov, Kostas Mitroglou and Maarten Stekelenburg; the 48-year old brought in players who fit well into the team and ended up doing better; such as Michael Madl, David Button, Sone Aluko and Floyd Ayite.
The upturn in recruitment and financial backing that Khan has given Jokanovic is a major reason behind their upturn in fortunes, and the club look better off now that they have a manager like Jokanovic in charge.
Signing Tom Cairney
Signed from Blackburn in the summer of 2015, Cairney's first season at Craven Cottage was excellent, but overshadowed by the performances of Ross McCormack and Moussa Dembele.
He scored eight goals and claimed six assists last season, operating mainly as a right midfielder, after Jokanovic came in and realised how to get the best out of him.
He's scored twice and set up one more from right midfield already in this campaign, captaining the side on two occasions and looking like a quality player who has the ability to be this side's talisman.
The ability to see a pass is something the Cairney possesses in abundance, with the victory over QPR in February last year sticking out in my mind as a demonstration of his excellence.
Finally getting Kostas Mitroglou off the payroll
Quite possibly one of the biggest flops in the club's history, quite how Fulham sanctioned the £12 million fee to bring him to West London is beyond myself, many other neutrals and Fulham fans alike.
When you look at the stats, just how little Mitroglou has done is astounding, and, I expect, deeply infuriating for any Cottagers fans.
Signing from Olympiacos in January 2014, Mitroglou appeared just three times, a total of 151 minutes at £150,000 a minute during the spell in wages, given as well that the last two years of his two-and-a-half year stay was on loan and therefore the Cottagers only had to fund a portion of his wages.
He was sold on for £2 million this summer, with Benfica paying off his £40,000 a week contract which would have ran for almost another two years.
The thing that will frustrate Fulham fans, however, is how when on loan, he managed to find the form that was the reason the club bought him. During 2014-15 at Olympiacos, he scored 16 league goals in 24 games, and whilst at Benfica in 2015-16, he scored 20 in 32.
Perhaps if he did that in the Premier League for Fulham, I wouldn't be writing this article. As it happens, I am, and moving the financial burden that Kostas Mitroglou will be known for in West London is arguably one of the best things the club has done in the last three years.
