Bilic on borrowed time as boss of West Ham
Posted Tuesday, January 10, 2017 by Tribalfootball.com
Slaven Bilic is not in imminent danger of losing his job as manager of West Ham, despite the disastrous 5-0 FA Cup defeat by Manchester City, reports the London Evening Standard.
The manner of the mauling by City at the London Stadium on Friday — and the subsequent comments by West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan and vice-chairman Karren Brady — increased speculation that Bilic had the next two matches to save his job.
Sullivan, on the official club website, wrote: "We know we have to improve quickly and upcoming fixtures against Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough now become cup finals."
Brady, meanwhile, tweeted: "We know we have to improve, Palace and Boro are now vital games."
A West Ham source today, however, said that the club "hope and expect him to be our manager for the next 18 months as we proudly like to honour contracts".
