Is Slaven Bilic on borrowed time at West Ham United?

Everything seemed to be going just fine and dandy for Slaven Bilic’s West Ham United last campaign. The Hammers could seemingly do no wrong within the confines of Upton Park last term – especially with the likes of Dimitri Payet and co. bang on form for the vast majority of the season.

 

Since the club’s widely anticipated move to London’s Olympic Stadium this summer however, things have ultimately gone from bad to worse for the current West Ham manager. His board arguably failed to deliver throughout the course of the previous summer transfer window, and his players have certainly failed to cover themselves in glory out on the pitch thus far.

 

 

In reality though, it seems as if the vast majority of Hammers fans would be gutted to see Bilic leave their club any time soon…

Board out

Sorted.

Although the former head-coach of the Croatian national side has arguably made his fair share of mistakes this season…

 

Bilic makes a mistake he admits it. Sullivan messes up. He tells the media everyone is to blame but himself. That's the difference.

…the West Ham United chairmen also have a lot to answer for of late…

 

West Ham United are a victim of corporate greed and lies.

A working class club murdered by those who are money first and football second.

Slaven Bilic remains the right man for the job as far as most West Ham supporters are concerned…

 

Feel so sorry for Bilic. You can tell how much this job means to him. Still love him and would be so gutted if he left ?

…for whilst his side completely failed to produce the goods last time out in a crushing 5-1 home defeat to Arsenal…

…the old Upton Park faithful aren’t giving up on their man any time soon…

 

I will be absolutely gutted if Slaven Bilic leaves West Ham.

If West Ham don’t improve rather dramatically before the New Year however, that could all change very quickly…

 

Time to go Bilic, go now before you're pushed. #WHUFC #BilicOut

…but for now, Bilic seemingly remains the right man to lead the Hammers out of trouble this season!

 

Bilic murmuring "This is it" on the touch line is actually heartbreaking. Out of everyone he is the least to blame imo.
