West Ham United have failed to meet expectations this season.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic spoke to reporters during his pre-match press conference, and opened up on the relationship he shares with the club’s owners, insisting that he has no problem with their penchant for venting their frustrations on social media, as quoted by the Daily Star.
West Ham have been utterly dreadful for the most part this season, and they can thank their lucky stars that there are so many poor sides in the Premier League this season, otherwise things could be a lot worse.
They currently sit in 12th position in the league table, after a woeful run of form that has seen them take just two points from their last five outings, and the club’s owners have not held back in their criticism of the team and the manager.
And Bilic was asked by reporters if David Sullivan and David Gold’s constant interaction with fans and the media bothered him at all, as quoted by the Daily Star:

“They are locals, they are West Ham, they talk to the papers, Twitter, Instagram, that one, that one. I am a really strong person and I have no problem with that. I have a good relationship with both chairmen.”
Bilic’s side embark on a crucial five day period starting tomorrow.
They face back-to-back away games at Hull City and Arsenal respectively, and failure to win either of those games would make their already bleak situation look all the more troublesome.
And the Croatian might just have to deal with even more public criticism from the owners, if they fail to gain at least three points from those fixtures.
