Slaven Bilic – West Ham United

Last year Slaven Bilic was being hailed as one of the league’s best managers. West Ham finished seventh and qualified for European football. Unfortunately things have gone down hill since.

West Ham’s dip in form has been difficult viewing for fans. Some have blamed the club’s move to the London Stadium as the problem. Others point to the many injuries to key players.

It’s true that star striker Andy Carroll has been out for the early part of the campaign. Last year’s break out player Dimitri Payet has been struggling to regain his magic touch and the Hammers’ defense has been leaking goals.

Bilic still has the support of West Ham co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold for now. Of course things can change and Bilic could be in trouble if he is unable to turn around West Ham’s season.

So far the fan’s have been patient with the manager. However if the hashtag #BilicOut starts trending more regularly it may spell the end for Bilic at West Ham.
