"Uncertain times at Fulham. The word is out that the club's ownership would like to extend Marco Silva's stay. The manager himself has been non-committal, having previously been explicit about a lack of summer transfer business. Raul Jimenez's winner, coming when it seemed Fulham were incapable of scoring, should at least still choppy waters for now and lifted Silva's team away from the increasing threat of a relegation battle."
"of his making. The Khan family gambled on stasis, rarely a recipe for success when others spend money like it is going out of fashion. Jimenez's goal was a measure of his determination to keep trying when other heads would have dropped but that Fulham are relying on him remains an indictment of the lack of funding Silva and supporters complain of."
Fulham's ownership wants to extend Marco Silva while the manager remains non-committal and has been explicit about limited summer transfer business. Raul Jimenez scored a late winner when Fulham looked incapable of scoring, lifting the team away from rising relegation danger. The sheen on Silva's regime has faded since last season's record points tally and enterprising football, linked to the Khan family's gamble on stasis rather than heavy spending. Jimenez's goal showed determination, but reliance on him highlights a lack of funding. Sunderland enjoyed brighter moments under Regis Le Bris, while Fulham used substitutes Emile Smith Rowe and Samuel Chukwueze amid foul weather and sideline tensions.
