That seems a harsh decision. Looks like WBA chop and change their managers too often.

Seemed to me that he got little support in the summer after getting you up, sold a player behind his back etc. The squad looks nowhere near good enough to compete in that league but they certainly put a shift in for the manager last night.

I like big Slaven, like the way he talks about the game. Nice mix of passion and wry humour about him.

He's been let down by the board for sure, unfortunately they are unsackable.

That said, he's been playing the wrong formation, personnel and failing to motivate for ages. People forget the nature of us stumbling to promotion.

We spent over £30m on Diangana and Grant in the summer - both Bilic choices - and they played a grand total of 45 mins between them when we lost to the patched together Newcastle side at the weekend. His primary target in the summer was Flip Krovinovic who was bit part last year and has been a waste of an essential loan.

Harsh from the outside, but his failings were clear when you watch week in and week out. Ironically, we got back to basics last night with 4 at the back and dug a result out.

It was well justified, but unfortunate because I agree he's a likeable character. Although not sure the players feel that way about him after being called "not men" and "stupid" publicly.
