[The Athletic] Spurs did reach out to Silva through intermediaries & Silva did express interest, but ultimately Fulham didn’t allow any talks. Fulham still want Silva to sign a new deal.

>The question was whether, now in March 2026, at the third time of asking, Silva might finally end up in north London. Tottenham never made an official approach, but explored the possibility via intermediaries. The indications were that Silva’s camp were interested in the opportunity. As it stands, remember, Silva is out of contract in a few weeks’ time. Tottenham might have offered him a better deal long into the future.

>So even though this never got to the point of an official club-to-club approach, Fulham always knew that ultimately the power lay in their hands. Premier League Rule J.3 states that managers and coaches cannot simply quit one Premier League (or EFL) club and move to another “without the consent” of the club they work for. So Fulham knew that they could effectively block any proposed move.

Genuinely would have been a horrific appointment..

Marco Silvas can lose 3 in a row draw 2 win 2 then lose another 3 without anyone noticing.

When they come to Spurs that changes, and the majority of the time they cannot handle that pressure as seen with Frank, we’re at a stage where we really need to stop going for these types of managers.

I genuinely have no clue why they keep coming back to him. He’s clearly not a bad manager but I’ve seen absolutely nothing from him that suggests he’d be anything but a failure at a club bigger than Fulham.

Just looking at football, how are Silva and RDZ even on the same shortlist

These people are so fucking clueless. My god
