Boss in serious trouble and has just two games to save his job - starting with Tottenham in the Carabao Cup tonight

Mark Noble has delivered some truths at a West Ham players’ meeting

It’s been reported that the Croatian has just two games to save his job at the London Stadium.

And Noble apparently decided the time was right to deliver some home truths during a blunt meeting at the Rush Green training ground on Monday.

The gathering is said to have lasted just ten minutes, during which Noble told other players to buck their ideas up and help keep Bilic in a job.

West Ham face Tottenham in the Carabao Cup this evening and know that another defeat will increase the pressure on their under-fire gaffer.

But Bilic has vowed not to walk away from the East London side, saying: “[I am] never, never, never walking away. I never walked away in my life.

“It is my job and a job I like to do, especially in a place that I feel is like few other places. You are treated special. It is a great job.”
