West Ham United have won just one of their opening six Premier League matches.
Bilic has come under further pressure at the London Stadium, following West Ham’s 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.
The Croatian boss is among the bookies’ favourites to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job, after what has been a disappointing opening to the campaign for the Hammers.
However, Barton has suggested that West Ham would get very little out of sacking BIlic at this stage of the season.
The former Newcastle and Burnley midfielder said: “I don’t think there’s any point in sacking managers before January. He’s bought players in Bilic, you might as well let him coach them to the best of his ability.”
West Ham did show some fighting qualities to come back from 3-0 down against Spurs to pull the scoreline back to 3-2, but it was not enough.
West Ham have now sunk into the relegation zone at this early stage of the season, after winning just one of their first six matches.
The Hammers have been handed a tough start to the campaign, but Bilic is under serious pressure to start finding the winning formula now.
West Ham are next in action at the weekend when they take on fellow strugglers Swansea City at the London Stadium.
