bilic_234636Slaven Bilic was given a hero’s farewell from Beşiktaş fans who turned up en masse to meet him at the Sabiha Gökçen airport before he left Turkey earlier this week. The passionate fans chanted his name, unveiled a large banner thanking him for the work he did at the club over the past two seasons and carried Bilic on their shoulders. Bilic was hugely popular with the fans at Besiktas and the largest fan group Çarşı protested  at the boards decision not to keep him on when it was revealed that he would be leaving.

    That is no different to the “Please stay we love you Sam” protest I attended at City Airport the other week. My God I am going to miss that man I love him so much.

    Just read Trevor Sinclairs article about giving Palo Di Cannio the job,I would be quite happy to go on a roller coaster ride with my hero,
    What’s not to like,if he could get the team to play with 50% of the entertainment value he brought as a player it would give us a season to remember before we left the Bolynn,
    Yes I am crazy but had enough of boring football

    If we bring in Bilic i think it would be great to try to bring in some ex players to work with him.Maybe Dicks,Rio if he fancies it.We had enough of hippo taking us as far away from we want to try to be.This is an ideal opportunity for us to get a real West Ham UNITED feel back again 😉

    I’d love a combo set up Bilic/Dicks/Di Canio first team,Ludo goalie coach,Repka discipline coach,Frankie Mc team bonding guru,Devo skills coach and Bonzo for fitness and passion. It would be nuts lol
