Slaven Bilic’s West Ham future to be decided in 48 hours with David Moyes in talks to replace him
Written by News on 05/11/2017
West Ham will decide on Slaven Bilic’s future in the next 48 hours with Sky Sports News understanding talks are already underway with David Moyes as a possible replacement should he be sacked.
Pressure on Bilic increased on Saturday evening when his struggling side was swept aside 4-1 by Liverpool at the London Stadium.
Owners David Gold and David Sullivan believe Bilic has been given enough time to turn things around.
Sky Sports News understands there is alarm that the Hammers have only won two Premier League games so far this season despite high-profile summer signings such as Javier Hernandez and Joe Hart.
West Ham sit in 17th place after 11 games and a win for Everton at home to Watford on Sunday would see them drop into the bottom three.
There are also long-standing concerns that training under Bilic is not intense enough and players are not as fit as they could be.
Bilic joined West Ham in the summer of 2015 on a contract which is scheduled to run out next summer.
Gold and Sullivan have traditionally stood by their managers during two decades in professional football.
When they owned Birmingham City, they had only five managers in 16 years, and since they bought West Ham in 2010, they have had four managers – Gianfranco Zola, Avram Grant and Sam Allardyce preceding Bilic’s appointment.
