As quoted by the BBC, Slaven Bilic has said that he is not bothered by rumours about him losing the West Ham job as he has the backing of the club’s owners.
Certainly, though, he needs to start turning results around with our Hammers fans here in the Transfer Tavern starting to be split over their feelings for their current boss.
One half reckon he should be given more time at the club given the work he did last season whilst the others are concerned he’s going to blow another transfer window in January, and leave the club right in trouble for the rest of the season.
It’s safe to say he’s had a shocker with buying players for this campaign as the squad have underperformed and a relegation battle, therefore, cannot be ruled out for the rest of the season.
Speculation around his job was always going to come, then, but the former Besiktas man is not too bothered by what has been floating around as his owners are right behind him.
Bilic said: “I feel pressure, of course, as at the moment we are not producing and do not have enough points to feel happy and safe.
“I speak to the owners regularly after every game and I feel support. I’m concentrating on my job and our next game.”
The report also highlighted that Bilic was “not fearful” and that he will continue in the job “in good times and bad times”.
The Hammers travel to Manchester United on Sunday as they look to move away from 17th place in the division after they capitulated last time out against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
