The 2006-07 season was Fulham's 6th consecutive season in the Barclays Premier League. For the majority of the season, Chris Coleman had been the manager up until his sacking in April 2007 - which had been the result of a slow slide down the table. Former Northern Ireland manager Lawrie Sanchez was to be appointed caretaker manager until the end of the season with his goal to prevent Fulham from relegation.

1. Since the finalists of the 2006-07 FA Cup (Manchester United and Chelsea) and the 2006-07 Carling Cup winners (Chelsea) had already qualified for the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League through their Premier League positions, their 2007-08 UEFA Cup places were given to the 6th- and 7th- placed Premier League teams.

2.The highest-placed team who applied for the Intertoto Cup and not in an automatic UEFA Cup spot will be awarded with a place in that competition. Blackburn Rovers occupy the Intertoto place, because Portsmouth and Reading did not apply.[1] A further place in the UEFA Cup was up for grabs via the Premiership Fair Play League. The winner is placed into a draw with the winners of Fair Play leagues in other countries. The representatives from the two countries that come out of the hat first are given a place in the UEFA Cup First Qualifying Round. Since the winners of the Premiership Fair Play League, Tottenham Hotspur, had already qualified for the UEFA Cup by virtue of their league position, their place in the Fair Play draw was given to Aston Villa. However, the places in the UEFA Cup were awarded to the representatives from Finland and Norway.

For further information on European qualification see Premier League - Competition.
