Silva insists he expects to stay at Fulham
Marco Silva insists he still expects to be Fulham boss next season.
Silva faced more questions about his future after his side ended an encouraging Premier League campaign with a 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City.
He has been touted as a possible replacement for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
“I’m not here to talk about speculation,” said Silva.
“Speculation is always there. If the football club where you are and the players perform well, it’s normal they are going to speak about the manager and about the players.
“That is not something that I can control. And if I can’t control it I don’t lose any time talking about it and waste energy doing that.”
Pressed on whether he expects to be at Fulham next season, Silva replied: “I am under contract with the club and of course I’ve been in planning with the board (for) next season.
“Everything on track and the plan is there. We have the next two months to prepare for the season as best we can.
“If I’m under contract with the club and if I’m planning with the club the next season, of course I expect to be here.”

Fulham finished the season 11th in the table, with 54 points – the club’s best-ever Premier League tally.
The Whites’ defeat and Bournemouth winning meant Silva’s side slipped out of the top half of the table.
“It was a great season,” Silva declared.
“Hurts a little bit, I have to say, to not finish in the top half of the table, where we were the majority of the time throughout the season.
“But looking at the whole picture, in an historic club like Fulham Football Club, to be able to break the record tally of points for the club I think speaks about ourselves and the season.”

thanks for that nonsensical comment. Get rid of Kulu, Biss and Sarr? Made my day

Our squad is so weak if a massive rebuild doesn’t happen and if we don’t sign some real quality in the summer, not only will we be humiliated in the Champions League, but we might just end up in a relegation battle next season. We were just lucky that there were 3 teams a lot worse than us. We have so much to do.
As far as I’m concerned, we need to sign a new keeper that has proven ability, another centre back that can push Romero and Micky, a number 6 of real quality, another number 10, then a left and right winger that make things happen, and that can take on and beat a fullback. And finally a striker that scores 20 plus goals a season. Personally I’d get rid of, Vicario, Dragusin, Davies, Bissouma, Sar, Tel, Werner, Richarlison, Son And Kulusevski. The last two might split opinions but, Son has had his day and is definitely on his way down, now is a time to maybe get a decent price for him. And Kulusevski is so slow, can’t take on or beat a man, and is all-round lazy. Another that we may be able to get a decent price for. As for signings, I’d like to see us sign, Marc Guehi, Eze, Rayan Cherki, Viktor Gyökeres, Jan Oblak, and even bring back Raphinha to the Premiership. As for the number 6, I really haven’t got a clue who I’d go after. Levy has his work cut out, that’s for sure. The problem is, it’s Levy we’re dealing with and we all know this won’t happen. That’s why I’m in the Levy out camp.
