WHEN Marco Silva first took over at Fulham, he had to bat away persistent questions over how much he had to prove in English football after his Everton demise.

More than three years later, the Portuguese has masterminded constant progress in West London, has restored his reputation and could make Premier League history this weekend.

Marco Silva’s Fulham take on Wolves at Craven Cottage on Saturday[/caption]

If his team get a result at home to struggling Wolves on Saturday, Silva will have overseen the best-ever start to a Prem campaign for the Cottagers.

It would surpass the 18 points from 12 games managed by Chris Coleman in 2003-04.

And it would put him on course to beat the best-ever season haul of 53 points managed in 2008-09 by Roy Hodgson, whose team had only 17 points at that stage in the season.

Silva has quietly gone about his business and turned Fulham from perennial yo-yo club into a solid top-flight side with minimum fuss.

And while compatriot Ruben Amorim begins his Premier League journey this weekend with Manchester United, Silva’s reemergence as a top-job contender has been going under the radar.

Fulham were sure they had landed a gem when they convinced Silva to spearhead their bid to regain their Prem status in 2021, after relegation under Scott Parker.

But some supporters were not so sure given how it had gone pear-shaped for Silva in his previous job with Everton 18 months prior.

How wrong any were to doubt him, as the diligent former right-back romped to promotion via winning the Championship before managing 10th- and 13th-placed finishes in the top flight with no risk of danger.

He has lost some of his best players along the way too.

Whether it be talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic leaving for the Saudi riches, Tosin Adarabioyo’s freebie move to neighbours Chelsea or the exit of Joao Paulinha – the best Fulham player of the Premier League in some fans’ eyes – to Bayern Munich.

The way he has managed to mitigate those losses gets to the heart of his success.

Silva constantly stresses how it is all about the team, never about individuals, and that appears to have reduced the impact of any big-name sale.

His honesty with players on how he plans to use them has been effective – particularly with Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore, previously a dynamic duo of Saturday’s opponents Wolves.

Silva reinvigorated long-serving players like Tom Cairney and Tim Ream.

While transfer business on the likes of Bernd Leno, Calvin Bassey, Andreas Pereira and Emile Smith Rowe has been spot on – and speaks to the productive relationship he has with co-owner and Director of Football Tony Khan.

Heurelho Gomes, who played under Silva at Watford in 2017-18, is a huge fan of his old gaffer, praising him for his diligence, tactical acumen and approachability.

The Brazilian still remembers being wowed by Silva changing to a 3-4-2-1 formation minutes before kick-off against West Ham back in 2017, which led to a dominant 2-0 win.

While on another occasion the ex-Tottenham goalkeeper was in at 7am at the training ground for an MRI on his back – only to be surprised to discover Silva was in there at that time every day.

The Brazilian told SunSport in association with thepokies: “He is underrated.

“He can coach any club in the Premier League, especially because now he has more experience in the league. 

“His first season with Watford, it was just a few games, but he did amazing with us. His first season with Everton was amazing. The second season was not as amazing but this depends on the players as well. 

“He came back with Fulham and did an amazing job, taking Fulham to the Premier League again in first place, then to maintain the club as Fulham, fighting in the top eight is an amazing achievement.

“He is able to coach the best clubs in Europe. 

“Fulham is an amazing club, Everton is an amazing club, Watford as well, but he deserves to be a manager of the top four, top five, top six clubs in England, for sure.”

Posing with her £8k Bottega handbag, Molly looked radiant as she settled into the opulent retreat.

In an Instagram Story, she showcased her jaw-dropping suite, which featured a chic cream color scheme and a festive Christmas tree perfectly positioned to overlook her balcony.

Molly also offered a peek into her sleek, white marble bathroom, complete with polished walls and floors, before enjoying a sweet treat thoughtfully left by the staff.

She was also treated to one of the hotel’s famous Marmaduke Luxury Bears, costing £120 in the gift shop.

The highlight of her tour came when she discovered a high-tech painting that transformed into a TV at the press of a button.

Sharing her excitement, she wrote: “This got us far too excited.”

Later, Molly gave her designer bag a spin outside the stunning premises, joking: “I really feel like I’m going to use it SO much!”

The property, a restored 17th-century mansion, features beautifully landscaped grounds, including an English Heritage-listed Japanese garden.

Guests can enjoy a range of dining options, such as Michelin-starred cuisine at Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall and vibrant Pan-Asian dishes at Bar & Restaurant EightyEight.

It comes just days after Molly revealed exactly what happened in the days after her shock split from Tommy, 25.

They headed to members club Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire to support the mum-of-one.

Opening up British Vogue about her shock split, she said: “I had a few days where I thought, ‘I don’t really know how I’m going to get through this’.”

Molly was surrounded by her inner circle as she attempted to drown her sorrows with a glass of rosé.

But the influencer who has frequently said that she doesn’t drink alcohol because she hates getting drunk, decided to put the booze down.

“It’s literally like four friends,” she said.

“That’s about it, really. It just works best that way, because then you know the people that are around you are genuinely there for the right reasons.”

Tommy reportedly cheated on the businesswoman “a number of times” while she was sitting at home “holding the baby” – though he has vehemently denied the claims.

Molly said that Tommy would address cheating claims in the future, but for now they are only interested in protecting their very young daughter.

Commenting on the cheating allegations, Molly said: “No one will ever really know what went down apart from Tommy and I, and that’s how we’d like to keep it, for Bambi’s sake.”

She added: “I do think that he will talk about things eventually.

“I do think that when he’s ready, like, maybe more will be said. But I think that’s for him to do on his terms.”

“It’s not like it’s gossip, it’s real life and it’s, you know, it’s a really deep situation. It’s really sad.”

Claims Love Island star Tommy was “desperate” to win Molly-Mae back resurfaced weeks ago – yet The Sun exclusively told how the mum-of-one would not be entertaining rekindling their romance.

The influencer dumped her fiancé hours after he returned home from a lads’ holiday to North Macedonia back in August over claims he cheated on her with a Danish woman.

Tommy has strongly denied accusations of cheating and his behaviour being behind his and Molly’s split.

Speaking out ahead of the release his autobiography, Lightening Can Strike Twice, he stressed: “I think if you were going to cheat on someone you should just sit down and say, ‘I don’t love you any more’, clearly, because you want to go and pursue other people.

‘When you get to that stage, I think you should just call it a day. If you want to go out there and have affairs with women then you definitely shouldn’t be with your partner.

“Definitely not. And have I ever reached that point? No.”

Tommy and Molly met on Love Island in 2019 have a one-year-old daughter Bambi together and created a joint home and lifestyle brand that is thought to be worth around 9 million.
