Palace defender Hangeland: Symons right manager for Fulham

Crystal Palace defender Brede Hangeland says Kit Symons should be hired by Fulham as permanent manager.

Former Fulham captain Hangeland believes Symons has lifted the mood around Craven Cottage following the departure of Felix Magath.

He said: "He is a wonderful man and a very good manager, so it would not be a terrible choice if he was there [permanently]. What has happened in the last six months is a sad chapter in the club's history.

"There seems to be more smiles around the place now and they have picked up some good results, so hopefully they can move up the table.

"Kit is a great guy, I can totally understand why there are more smiles around the place with him in charge.

"Hopefully he gets them winning some more games."
