Slaven Bilic named as West Ham Manager (09.06.15)

baracks_a_hammer

Did anyone read that piece about Jose Fonte commenting on the incredible level of detail Poch went about his work behind the scenes, assessing players’ body language even when putting on their training bibs etc. Although a figure of ridicule when it comes to England, there are even reports on how detailed and specific Hodgson is too (at club level). Sam too, even though not liked by many (except Twist) was apparently meticulous behind the scenes. You wonder what Slavs approach is behind the scenes. I’m prepared to guess that isn’t akin to the likes of poch, Hodgson, sam etc. Hard work and meticulous, almost obsessive preparation in training will more likely than not yield dividends on the pitch.

According to Sky the board are meeting today to discuss his future. They were shocked at what they saw last night.

Although aghast, I wasn’t shocked or surprised at all. This has been on the cards for a while, all the signs have been there.

Think is he's lost the fans and it looks like he's lost the players they just don't look like team battling for the manager

That is probably on paper our strongest XI and we were thumped by a team who couldn't score away from home (just like Southampton who couldn't score and Newcastle who couldn't score)

He needs to go the whole club has turned toxic the club needs fresh ideas

What's worrying for me is all season n we have no game plan.....we pass it around aimlessly then cross from positions of no threat

Bilic has to go

They're trying to figure out the cheapest way to sack him and who would be the cheapest to bring in

So Barracks, when we’re you going to tell us we would get thrashed by Brighton, play abysmally and the stadium would be emptying out 10 minutes from time? ;hmm

A terrible performance in a terrible season we have been poor for most of last season and this getting by on scrappy 1-0 wins against the bottom teams. I like Slav as a person but the team just seem to be going backwards and the generally level of apathy amongst the fans is going up . We need a change ,time for Slav to go

Yeoldhammer

he has to go now if they are going to do it, you don't sack him after spurs surely....imagine giving that ammunition to them.

jay_in_cpt

Unless they want to give him
A chance v Palace...

Does it matter who is n charge, can’t play any worse

thornburyiron

Would hope so but you never know

Kuchinghammer

Be careful what you wish for. On the other hand, who'd heard much about Poch & Silva before they arrived in the Prem? Right now,I feel Slav and his backroom boys all have to go, and I'd be ok with a boring but organized manager to steady the boat. Coleman for instance, but there must be others out there.

imagelost

Neville talks a good fight
Pards is out there
Moyes,,, no
Banetezzzz moo
Anclottie noo
bfs noo

There are unconfirmed reports that Bilic has been either sacked or resigned.

It absolutely does matter.

The club have said there is a meeting between owners and manager tomorrow.

Gold is flying back for it.

Sullivan interviewed yesterday said Slav will get the full 3 years of his contract

They’re doing the same thing as they did with SA in his final season.

Surely not after the Brighton result? It feels like sticking with Abraham Grant...

thornburyiron

SCHB that interview was earlier in the day. His face towards the end of the game was like thunder and watching about 20,000 people streaming towards the exits with 15-20 minutes to go would have been a nightmare.

If so, ;hmm
Sadly IMO this is the 1st time Slav has lost many of his fans.....
I'm sticking with him and give him the next 2 games at least... Although I know I'm in a minority here....

You don't need a board meeting to sack anyone, you just send Brady round. ;wave

That’s actually true. So if indeed gold is flying back for a “meeting” tomorrow I don’t believe the purpose of it is to sack Bilic
