Fulham striker McCormack: Magath fatty claims stunned me

Fulham striker Ross McCormack has hit out at former manager Felix Magath.

Magath accused the forward of being overweight after his summer move from Leeds United and placed him on a special fitness programme.

He told the London Evening Standard: "When I came here and was told I was not fit enough, I felt a bit silly and that hurt me when I knew I could complete 90 minutes. The old manager's [idea of] fitness is different to anyone else in the world.

"But that is in the past now and I have played nearly every minute of every game since Kit has come in. I am at a level now that I am happy with and Kit is comfortable with."
