West Ham United vice-chairman Karren Brady has claimed in her football diary in The Sun that the club are not looking to sack Slaven Bilic.

The Hammers are having a disappointing season and may not end up in the top 10 of the Premier League.

The London outfit are 12th in the standings at the moment with 33 points from 29 matches.

Bilic has come under pressure, with reports in the media claiming that he could be replaced at the London Stadium.

The Liverpool Echo recently reported that West Ham are monitoring Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez, while The Sun has credited the Hammers with interest in Huddersfield Town’s David Wagner.

Brady, though, has made it clear that West Ham are not looking to sack Bilic.

“I have a two-word answer to people who are listing candidates for Slaven Bilic’s job — SHUT UP!” Brady wrote in her football diary in The Sun. “We like our manager and we rate him, so we are planning to keep him at West Ham.”

Bilic is a good manager, and it seems that the West Ham chiefs rate him highly and want him to stay on.

While it is true that the Hammers are not having a good season, one must not forget their success in 2015-16 campaign.

For West Ham to progress as a club, they should not change managers regularly and must retain faith in Bilic.
