Not that fussed about Bilic. I know he has been decent but for some reason it just doesn’t feel like a good fit to me.

I have a feeling the club will announce someone totally out of the blue - not Bilic or anyone they have spoken to or we have heard rumors about.

I think the owner will be persuaded to pay the £5/6 million needed for the head coach's contract.
Think Bilic will be announced in the next few days.
If it was easy, it wouldn't be Albion

Just read Matt's article, it does look as though pay is an issue, but Matt also says the UK board have to get the owners' approval.

I suspect the UK board has been given a salary budget for the new manager and what it will take to secure Bilic exceeds that budget, so shareholder approval is needed.  They are probably fed up of having to pay off sacked managers, so that’s understandable.

There won’t be a problem with wages, Bilic will be who lai wants. Remember the below article after we sacked Pulis - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/11/23/slaven-bilic-rejects-chance-become-west-broms-new-manager/amp/

I imagine lai has links with Bilic somehow. Also Bilic’s old club have announced he has signed for us on twitter. Not sure if the know something we don’t.

There must be several people who have applied for the job(hopefully including young up and coming managers from the lower leagues who would know the good promising players there)plus the ones we have approached.I only hope they don't panic because this on going saga is getting ridiculous and appoint the wrong man.

Sure Nigel Adkins was mentioned somewhere on this thread, well he's just left Hull but further talks are expected between him and Hull

Looks to be a definite parting of the ways. To be honest if his name was under consideration then I would have expected it have cropped up in the press not a difficult link to make.

Adkins fits in with us researching the A to C headings of managers - Bilic, Bruno, Appleton, Cowley,  ;D

I had bet on him 3 weeks ago ticks a lot of boxes noticed he was out of contract would be surprised if we haven’t spoken to him

What are you basing that on? Bilic got West Ham to 7th and 11th place finishes in the Prem League.

Adkins leaving Hull worries me that we could now leave an appointment to early July.




As an aside can we jib this a-z nonsense. Not remotely funny (see Zippy's post in Woodman) and clutters up the thread which is busy enough with rumours and innuendo as it is.

Just saying he could join a Championship Side get distracted for doing very well and leave us but would happily take him I think he is a great guy and great manager.

Good manager though and I'd add him to my short list of people I'd be happy to get the job: Jokanovic, Hughton, Pearson, Bilic and Adkins. He'll probably end up at Swansea or Middlesbrough though.

Someone saying on another forum we can’t agree terms with Bilic so it’s looking unlikely. When I heard Atkins had gone I just knew something could possibly be up
