Following on from Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Everton, West Ham United have this morning become the fourth Premier League club since the 2017/18 kicked off to make the decision to change manager.

Slaven Bilic’s future at the London Stadium has been on a knife edge for what seems to be well over a year. Long before we played there in December 2016 his position was under threat but he continued to work through what seemed to be crisis after crisis.

And the inevitable was confirmed this morning by West Ham in a short statement with the club also confirming that all of Nikola Jurcevic, Edin Terzic, Julian Dicks and Miljenko Rak, his coaching team, had all left the club.

West Ham have confirmed that the search for a new manager is underway and an announcement on his successor is expected to be made over the coming days.

It would be a big surprise if it were not David Moyes.
