Sullivan respects the honesty that Bilic shows after a game
?West Ham United Joint-Chairman David Sullivan has nothing but praise for the job Slaven Bilic has done over the last year and says he could not have done anymore as he celebrates his first year in charge.
Bilic helped to secure European football for the second consecutive season and became an even bigger hero with the Hammers supporters with his passion on the touchline and entertaining style of play.
Mr Sullivan played a key role in helping to bring the Croatian manager back to the east London Club last summer and hopes he can grow even stronger as the Club prepare to make the big move into the new Stadium.
Mr Sullivan said: “I think overall he has done a very good job and we could not have asked for anymore from the manager.
“He believes in the Club and the project and with a bit of good luck we could have been in the Champions League.
“I think you want to see someone with the passion he shows and when we lose we want to see the manager feeling how we feel.
“The best thing about Slaven is that when he makes a comment after the game you would virtually agree every time with what he says. He is honest, smart and has a very fair judgement. We hope next year we can do even better.
“We value his opinion on all signings. He is very good with new players and helps them along. Other than a Leicester miracle we could not have asked for a better season.”
