Irons squad handed a day off from training

West Ham’s players are not training today with manager Slaven Bilic believing they have earned a day off.

Despite rumours to the contrary, the Croatian is still in charge at the club as talks go on to make David Moyes his successor.

We understand that despite a horrifying performance which saw thousands of fans walk away from the London Stadium on Saturday, Bilic appears to believe that they should take their day off as usual.

The Hammers are hurrying talks with the Scot through in order to give him as much time as possible to organise t squad ahead of the next game against Watford after the international break.

Meanwhile Andy Carroll’s objections that fans should never leave a match have gone down badly among the faithful who have seen the team ship more goals than any other Premier League club this season.

The Hammers have slipped into the bottom three with a goals against tally of 23 worse than Stoke City and Everton who are on 22 and Watford on 21.
