‘We’re doomed’, ‘Hard to disagree’ – Many WBA fans react to reports on future of Slaven Bilic
This week couldn’t have gone much worst for West Brom and Slaven Bilic this week in the Premier League.
Despite their first win this season against Sheffield United, David Ornstein still reported that the future of Bilic was on a “knives-edge.”
It has been a rollercoaster ride at the Hawthorns, with Bilic never having a great relationship with Guochuan Lai and the board.
Only one week later, the Baggies were thrashed by Crystal Palace 5-1 on Sunday.
It was mainly down to the red card picked up by Matheus Pereira, with the Albion well-and-truly on top when the incident took place.
Chris Lepkowski then predicted on his personal Twitter account after the game, that there were serious doubts surrounding the future of Bilic.
With games against Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa all coming up over the Christmas period, this weekend is vitally important.
The trip to Newcastle is set to go ahead, and it could have more meaning than just the three points in terms of Premier League survival.
Steve Madeley claimed that another heavy defeat at St James’ Park could spell the end for Bilic and his spell at the Baggies.
Many West Brom fans have reacted to the news, with the majority claiming that there is no chance that Bilic should be sacked and he must be given time.
Some referred to the likes of Dean Smith at Aston Villa and Daniel Farke at Norwich, with both examples of clubs reaping the rewards of sticking with their managers in difficult times.
