West Ham news: Hammers boss Slaven Bilic has just THREE games to save his job as he nears the axe following Southampton hammering
The Hammers manager must win at least one of the matches against Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace or Sunderland
WEST Ham boss Slaven Bilic has three games to save his job, SunSport understands.
The Hammers manager must win at least one of the matches against Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace or Sunderland.
He faces the axe just SIX fixtures into the Premier League season with West Ham lying in the relegation zone.
Hammers chiefs are losing patience with Bilic after they were hammered 3-0 at home to Southampton yesterday.
A Hammers source said: “If there wasn’t a win after these three games the decision would have to be made.
“He is set to get players back and that will help a lot. Draws won’t be good enough for him though.
“But you can’t go on losing game after game without having to make a big decision.
“We cannot be in a position by Christmas where we are playing a serious catch up game.”
