I honestly can’t believe I am writing this, but unless Slaven Bilic changes something dramatically, he could be in line for the sack, no more than four months after securing West Ham’s highest points total in Premier League history and our first top flight positive goal difference since 1986.
Yet, this season has been a shambles. An embarrassing defeat in the Europa League to Astra (again) was compounded with only one win in six Premier League games (five losses in the process), including heavy defeats to the likes of Watford and West Brom.
It is unlikely that Bilic will go – this is a board who kept Avram Grant until the day he got us relegated. Also, on a personal note, Bilic is easily my favourite West Ham manager in my lifetime and I would be gutted if he left. Unless he makes some drastic changes, he could be on his way out. Here are five things he needs to do or else he could be first over the line in the Premier League sack race.
