GOLD, SULLIVAN STATEMENT
06/11/17
West Ham joint chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan have also released a statement, saying:
"It is with disappointment and heavy hearts that we have made the decision to relieve Slaven Bilic of his duties as West Ham United manager.
"Since joining the Club in the summer of 2015, Slaven has conducted himself throughout with honesty and integrity, and shown great determination and commitment to the role.
"In his first season - our final campaign at the Boleyn Ground - he led the team to a memorable finish that no Hammers fan will ever forget, and gave us a 3-2 victory against Manchester United in our final home game there that will go down in West Ham United history.
"During the summer, the Board invested heavily signing the players Slaven believed would complete the squad he needed to push the Club back towards the level we had reached in his first season, and we believe we have the players capable of doing that.
"Sadly, performances and results have not been of the expected standard and, in recent weeks, we have not seen enough indication of the required improvement to give us the encouragement that things would change and we would meet our Premier League aspirations this season."

Apparently they are interfering busy bodies not letting him manage or buy his own players!

payet got them playing to a high level - he was one of the best players in the league, then he lost interest. west ham then went down a level.
they spent handsomely, and clearly should be higher than they are in the table. call me old fashioned but isn't there such thing as sticking by the manager? if there a rule nowadays that if you dip into the relegation zone you sack the manager?
looks like they will get moyes in - i hope he does well. 10+ years of excellent management at everton shouldn't be forgotten. he was in the wrong place at the wrong time with both man utd and sunderland.
