# West Brom: Sinclair slams reported Slaven Bilic call

**TalkSPORT pundit Trevor Sinclair has slammed West Bromwich Albion’s reported consideration of potentially sacking Slaven Bilic after his side’s recent run of poor results.**

### **Sinclair slams Bilic decision**

The Baggies lost 2-0 to Fulham on Monday, meaning that the Midlands outfit are still [yet to win a game](https://www.skysports.com/west-bromwich-albion-results) in the Premier League since their promotion.

John Percy [revealed](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/11/03/slaven-bilic-facing-potentially-pivotal-test-tottenham-struggling/) earlier this week that the Croatian manager now faces a make or break match against Tottenham at the weekend to save his job. In response to the news, Sinclair [said](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1324026119436185600):

> *“What’s the point in sacking Bilic?*
>
> *“If you’re going to give a manager money, give it to Slaven for the January window and see if he can keep you up. He’s done well enough to get them promoted in the first place.”*

### **Be careful what you wish for**

It is no surprise to see that Bilic is now under pressure – that is the cut-throat nature of the Premier League. To be without a win after seven matches puts them in the bottom three, and the fact their latest defeat was against a direct relegation rival makes matters worse.

However, it must be remembered that Bilic was able to get West Brom back into the big time – via automatic promotion as well. The manager will not, and should not hold on to his job only based on past glories, but as they sit only [one](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table) point off 17th place at the moment, it could be too soon to start making such knee-jerk calls.
