How about Eddie Howe, should be available soon. Slim pickings out there.

I suspect there are going to be lots of International coaches looking for a new job after the World Cup.
Some that spring to mind
Vincenzo Montella plays the same way as Marco Silva although no experience of EPL.
Roberto Martinez will probably leave Portugal, Experience of EPL, plays a more cautious style.
Steve Clarke was a candidate before at Fulham for the coaches job.

Expect these too will step down although too expensive for us
Pochettino
Nagelsmann
Ancelotti
Expect our Chairman & CEO would look at the likes of
Jessie Marsch
Graham Potter

Wouldn't want Frank he'd be too much of a tactical change, and I don't think we'd be good enough to sit back and play counter attacking football in all honesty. He even tried to do that with Spurs and they didn't have the players for it.

Other end of the spectrum, Ange would be entertaining but a risk - but can see his energy and style suiting the current crop of players.

Rosenoir - despite the Chelsea sacking, I would want at Fulham. Excellent young coach, and needs a project - he's also at a stage where he could grow with the club and vice versa. Similar career stage Silva was at when he joined us.

Ambitious names; Valverde, Thiago Motta or Filipe Luis would be huge. We wanted Laurent Blanc years ago, and he's available now, but not sure he'd take it.

Weirdly, and don't really know why but I can Vieira being rumoured in due time.

Rosenior needs to be an assistant to an established top manager to learn. At this time he is just not ready for all the big egos in the Premiership.

I've got a suspicion that Thomas Frank is the number one choice after Marco Silva, and I think Marco Silva knows it....

Mr Frank lives in Barnes and is available - he's got experience of the prem & knows the boundaries/limitations of a "smaller" club....some might say the perfect fit

I would think his popularity in Brentford would rapidly disappear if he came to Fulham.

Which would also be a bit of fun

The blahblahman

I think the Frank link has been floated by the club to try and pressure Silva.

He will need to stop chewing tobacco when he is standing in the Technical Area.

Well some talent available Frank,rosenior,big Ange all good managers probably never a better time for the khans to replace silva who has to decide now unless club does it for him.

Pavel Dempsey

Pochettino, if Silva leaves.

No to Howe, Frank and Marsch.

I really do not get why people include Rosenior in lists of good managers available.

Well because of that silly statement used frequently "his one of our own"

Agreed and yes, I do have a soft spot for ex players especially family connections like the Roseniors. However that does not make him a good manager, the football at Hull was limited and conservative and yet we have people moaning that Marco's style has become a tough watch. Liam needs much more experience and to prove himself, which I do not believe he has yet, before I would want him at Fulham as our manager.

"Key observations regarding Brendan Rodgers' ego:

Controversial Behavior: Major stakeholder Dermot Desmond accused Rodgers of "divisive, misleading, and self-serving" actions during his second Celtic spell, leading to a toxic atmosphere.

Media and Press Conferences: Rodgers has been characterized by frustrated body language and high-stakes media comments, sometimes creating a "them vs. us" scenario with the club and its fans.

"Honda Civic" Analogy: Critics slammed his comparison of his Celtic squad to a "Honda Civic" (implying low quality) while comparing himself to a "Ferrari" (high quality), which was viewed as arrogant and disparaging to players.

"Character" and Image: Historically, Rodgers has been noted for his self-belief, with commentators referencing a large portrait of himself in his home, leading to perceptions of vanity. "

i'd take a honda civic over most cars!

I suspect Fulham may have an NDA in place on the Marco Silva contract saga.
Our club is more secretive then the KGB with management & players gagged during and after they have left, problem with that it creates more conspiracy theories with the media the way it is,

We all see how the the CEO 'Teflon Mac' treats the fans with contempt, even the Fan Advisory Board have had to sign NDA contracts because any meaningful question you put to them to ask, is met with a reply involving a NDA.
The questioners that are sent out to us Season Ticket holders are a waste of time, any serious questions asking about Toilets, safe standing, seating, ticketing, etc gets ignored or kicked down the road.

It goes back to even before the Craig Kline incident that this club has no real media savvy or presence with poor Public Relations to the established fan base.
