Rival PL boss urged to accept £190,000-a-week deal from Tottenham

Marco Silva backed to embrace three-year deal at Tottenham Hotspur

It’s been a season of extremes for Tottenham Hotspur, a Europa League final within reach on one hand, and a dismal 16th-place standing in the Premier League on the other. Ange Postecoglou is just one game away from potentially ending the club’s agonizing trophy drought, a feat that would undoubtedly elevate his status at White Hart Lane. Yet, despite the prospect of silverware, speculation about his future persists.

Postecoglou’s position remains under scrutiny due to his inability to keep Spurs within the top ten, and the club’s current league standing has done little to quell those rumours. Despite a potential Europa League triumph, Tottenham’s board is reportedly considering a change, with Marco Silva emerging as a potential successor.

Silva, who has impressed during his time at Fulham, is said to be open to the idea of taking over at Spurs. The Portuguese manager’s track record of building competitive sides on limited budgets could appeal to Daniel Levy, particularly if the club seeks to balance European ambitions with a domestic rebuild.

Regardless of the outcome in Bilbao, Ange Postecoglou is expected to part ways with Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season through a mutual agreement. With his departure all but certain, Daniel Levy will be tasked with finding a new manager to lead the club forward, and it appears the answer may be just across West London.

According to TBR Football, Marco Silva has reportedly rejected a contract extension from Fulham, leaving the door open for a potential move to Tottenham. The Portuguese coach, who has earned plaudits for his work at Craven Cottage, is said to be on Spurs’ radar as they look to reset after a turbulent campaign.

However, time is of the essence. Reports suggest that Al-Hilal have already gained Silva’s approval for a lucrative offer, meaning Tottenham must act quickly if they wish to secure his services. Silva’s ability to implement a disciplined, organized structure, traits Tottenham have lacked this season, could make him an attractive candidate as the club seeks to restore stability and direction.

Bryan King gives his take

Ex-Spurs scout Bryan King speaking to TottenhamNews believes that Marco Silva would likely accept a three-year contract worth £190,000-a-week if offered by Daniel Levy. King thinks Silva would expect a salary of around £10 million per year, given the context of previous managers at the club who didn’t receive fair opportunities.

Silva is also expected to insist on a significant contract length and high wages, with a strong possibility of bringing in at least five of his own backroom staff. This would lead to some staff changes at Tottenham, which King does not view negatively, as he believes some current staff have been at the club for too long.

The Lilywhite Rose Owner speaking to TottenhamNews, approves of Silva

“I think Silva would want a three-year deal to manage Tottenham,” 

“You can start thinking of the figures, probably £10million a year. If I were the manager at Fulham, and Spurs came looking, I would just have to see what has gone on before me to see the managers who haven’t been given a chance.”

“Therefore, Silva will want at least a three-year deal, and he will want to be well-paid, £10m a year would be a starting figure. I would think he would accept the job under those terms, and I would think he would want to bring his staff with him as well.”

Daniel Levy is well aware that he cannot afford another misstep if he decides to part ways with Ange Postecoglou. The next managerial appointment must be a calculated, steady choice, a figure capable of guiding Tottenham Hotspur back to stability after a turbulent season.

Marco Silva could represent exactly that. With proven Premier League experience and a progressive tactical approach, the Fulham boss would bring a fresh start that could reinvigorate the squad. However, for Silva to succeed, he must be properly backed in the transfer market, something that has not always been a given under Levy’s leadership.

The strained relationship between Levy and the fan base makes this decision even more crucial. Bringing in a manager with Silva’s profile and track record could be the first step in restoring faith and delivering the immediate change supporters are demanding. But with Al-Hilal reportedly making a strong play for Silva, Tottenham must move decisively to secure his services before the opportunity slips away.
