    Stoke got knocked out of the Cup by a Championship side, they've had a bad run, losing three of the last six league games but I don't see the press saying Hughes's job is under threat.

    As I've said repeatedly S&G have a history of not sacking managers mid-season and Slav has a history of not quitting on a unfinished job. I would be very, very surprised if anything happened between now and the summer.

    Bournemouth went out to a league 1 side.....can't remember their name

    Is Eddie Howe now in danger of the sack?

    Slizzy

    No, because he is the greatest young English manager in the history of football.

    I know you're busy, but do try to keep up. ;wink

    At least Howe changed virtually all the team, Hughes played a strong side and was at home too. For what its worth, I dont see the point in getting rid of Bilic after buying ( or attempting to buy) players in January and not giving him time for them to settle/blend.

    Or we could go for a guy who knows how to organize our defence ;hmm Someone like BFS ;run

    Slaven not going anywhere fast. Imo
    We will finish mid table. Then get rid of the mediocre players we got last summer. Bring in players that will improve squad. And all will be fine. Imo ;pray

    When Klopp and Howe swap out their teams it is because they are committed to promoting youth players.

    For other managers it is because they don't respect the greatest football competition in the history of the universe.

    We have had terrible luck with injuries and dreadful ref/lino decisions which have contributed to an overall poor season. BUT, I am losing faith in Bilic a little bit. After a season and a half we STILL haven`t settled on a specific system and style of play. All the best teams/managers have a system and for the most part play it. You have no chance of consistency chopping and changing formations and style. Bilic should stick with a system and play it. We are looking totally disjointed and have shown very little fight or spirit. This is down to the manager. I absolutely love Bilic, he feels "right" for West Ham. But he needs to be strong, and he needs to be consistent. How ever much I like him, if we continue to play as we have been, I see no choice but to let him go, because something isn`t right this season and the buck ultimately stops with Bilic. ;scarf

    So the headline says
    Exclusive: Slaven Bilic reveals what was said between him and wantaway West Ham star Dimitri Payet
    but the article says
    Two days ago, he and I had a meeting. I won’t disclose what was said, but I was left in no doubt as to his intentions.
    So we're none the wiser as to what was said by either of them.

    Yeah, that made me laugh!

    The "something isn`t right" was obviously the French bloke. So I retract most of above which leaves me with just one thing to say:

    Kent Hammers have just posted a get well message to the boss.

    Apparently Bilic has been in hospital with the flu.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    ;ok

    He went in after our last game, and was released yesterday (I think it was). It was mentioned on BBC.

    ;ok

    Just a quick question, do the whole squad and management get given the flu jab annually??
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    If they want I suppose, don't think the club doctor gives in routinely.
  • Pearces_Left_FootPearces_Left_Foot
    Must have been man flu if he was in hospital ;wahoo
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    ;doh
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    It must have been because if it had been proper flu, he wouldn't have left his bed for 5 days. I had it 2 years ago and I couldn't lift my head off the pillow.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    But Preston, you're talking about Super Slav here.

    5 days, pah.

    No. They get it in the arm, like everyone else.

    I thought I only had the sniffles and decided to go out on the lash. The next 5 days I couldn't move or leave my bed. The next month I had to go to hospital with kidney stones, which were so bad I had to have a stent inserted and 2 days later I had a stroke.

    Now I am not saying that having the flu leads to having a stroke but, if you contract man flu, that is exactly the same as death. IMO of course.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    I sympathise Preston, I had real flu a few years ago and never ever want it again. I was bed ridden for nearly a week and thought I'd never walk again.
    Most people who say they've had flu just have a cold.
    I've had the jab every year since then.
  • PrestonHammerPrestonHammer
    If you can walk about, then it is a head cold. Proper flu and you are bedridden.

    Grey, I do believe you've crossed the line there ;wink

    Bilic, after losing 0-4 to Man City: "They were so dangerous, especially when we had the ball." It's a classic.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    They weren't that dangerous then as we hardly had the ball.
