The Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz actor is a massive Hammers supporter.
Actor and West Ham United supporter Nick Frost has suggested that the club may have to take drastic action in sacking Slaven Bilic at this late stage of the season in order to ensure they avoid relegation.
The Hammers went down 3-0 to London rivals Arsenal on Wednesday night to leave them just five points clear of the drop zone with seven games to play.
In truth, the situation could have been a lot bleaker. With Hull City winning against Middlesbrough to lift out of the bottom three, Swansea City looked set to pull of a shock win over Tottenham Hotspur until a startling late collapse saw them lose 3-1.
Hammers fans will have breathed a sigh of relief – a Swans win would have left the London side just three points clear – but the situation is still a messy one.
At this late stage there seems little a club can do but hope for a change, but Frost took to Twitter after the match to advocate that the club’s owners make that change themselves in decisive fashion.
Frost, star of films such as Shaun of the DeadandHot Fuzz,tweeted: “I think West Ham need to seriously consider a change of manager. I like Billic [sic] but we look like we’re going down.”
Firing and hiring with such a small fraction of the season remaining can have the desired effect, but it is a monumental risk.
Replying to the star’s tweet, Hammers fans seemed split on the idea. Some were less than convinced that a change in the dugout will help the club at this stage, whilst others have seen enough.
