Slaven Bilic: 'West Ham United owners knew I would need time'

Bilic: 'Owners knew I would need time'

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic suggests that he will be given time by the club's owners.

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has suggested that he has no fear of losing his job, despite a torrid season so far.

Since moving to the London Stadium in the summer, the Hammers have struggled for wins having claimed just three victories in 14 Premier League fixtures this season.

Scrutiny has intensified on Bilic, but co-owner David Sullivan recently gave his public backing to the man the club appointed last year.

"The owners do [understand]," Bilic told The Premier League Show. "I say what I mean, there are obstacles. When you go to somewhere new, the owners knew the possibility that it's going to take time.

"You can't just do it, click it. You have no choice - if you want to move forward with the club, you have to do something like this. Our choice, or the owner's choice, was to go forward. It was a brave choice, positive, it was a good choice. You have to do something like this."

West Ham currently sit just one point above the relegation zone, and they face a tough trip to Anfield this Sunday to take on third-placed Liverpool.
