Cottee, who played alongside Bilic for a season back in 1996 has no doubts that Bilic is the right man for the job...
Cottee said: “I'm delighted he is at West Ham. As an ex team-mate of mine I am absolutely thrilled and I think he will take the Club forward.
“He did a good a good job for Croatia. He doesn't have any Premier League experience but neither did Mourinho or Wenger – you need to be given a chance.
“The most important thing is that he played for the club and he knows what it means to be a West Ham player. He knows what the fans want and had a great rapport during his short time at the Club.
“He knows what style they are wanting to see when they spend their hard earned money to come and watch the team.
“He will want them to play entertaining football but at the same time get results. You have got to get the balance right and it is a big task for Slaven.
“It is a massive season for the club with the move to the Olympic Stadium next year.
“The squad did well last season and other players need to fit into the system. The squad is capable of finishing in the top ten.”
;wahoo
I'm very pleased with it given I was clean shaven this morning.
sir_ian can run the lawn mower over it tomorrow before I leave for work.
Fact!
“The most important thing is that he played for the club and he knows what it means to be a West Ham player. He knows what the fans want and had a great rapport during his short time at the Club.
“He knows what style they are wanting to see when they spend their hard earned money to come and watch the team.
Well said Tony, you used to be part of that.

Etymology: Derived from Slavic "Slav" meaning "Glory"
Origin: Croatian
No idea what "Bilic" means though. Hopefully not "Ignominious Europa League exit at hands of Faroe Islands champions followed by relegation".
