Fulham is making a name for itself again in the Premier League, and former player Mark Schwarzer thinks the club is hitting a crucial point. For a while, they struggled with going up and down between leagues, mainly because of changes in ownership and a lack of football know-how. This led to bad decisions on player signings and not enough control over transfers, which hurt their competitiveness. But things are looking up with Marco Silva at the helm. The owners seem to have realized that to succeed in the top league, you need a manager who gets the league and knows what kind of players can thrive. Schwarzer: Key to Fulham’s Revival.
Under Silva, Fulham has made some smart signings like Bernd Leno from Arsenal, Issa Diop from West Ham, and Antonee Robinson, who has really stepped up. Joachim Andersen, who returned after a short stint elsewhere, and Andreas Pereira, previously with Manchester United, have also been great additions. Ryan Sessegnon’s return and Emile Smith Rowe joining from Arsenal add even more strength to the squad. Raul Jimenez, who had injury issues before, is finding his form again under Silva, while Willian proves he’s still got it in his second round with the club. These players bring much-needed experience, giving Fulham a shot at European competition. Schwarzer: Key to Fulham’s Revival.
Silva’s way of managing, with his energetic approach and smart picks, has made Craven Cottage a tough place for visiting teams. One standout story is Palhinha, who was pretty unknown in England before joining and now he’s off to Bayern Munich, bringing Fulham both respect and cash. The team is close to a Champions League spot and on track for a record points finish in the Premier League. Still, their biggest challenge might be holding onto Marco Silva. If they don’t make it to Europe, the club needs to either meet Silva’s goals or risk losing him. If he goes, keeping the current setup will be really important. As the season wraps up, Fulham has to keep the momentum going, especially after that big win against Liverpool. They’ve shown they can’t be taken lightly anymore. Schwarzer: Key to Fulham’s Revival.
