Danny Murphy responded to rumours linking him with a return to Fulham as manager or as a coach on the Colin Murray show on Thursday.

Felix Magath is expected to be axed after a disastrous start to the season and Murphy has been tipped to take on the top job or a senior coaching position should the German go.

The ex-England midfielder believes Magath ‘should go’, but insisted he has had no talks with the club over any role, and would harbour concerns about inheriting the current Cottagers squad.

He said: “I haven’t spoken to anybody yet. I haven’t had any conversations. I have a deep fondness for the club and never say never about going back. Of course I’d love to be involved at some point. But what worries me, whether it was me or anybody else going in, if they do get rid of Felix, is what they are left with because lots of good characters and good leaders have been let go.”
