David Gold has admitted that Slaven Bilic is binding everything together at West Ham declaring: “That’s his job and despite the weekend result he’s doing it brilliantly.”
Gold has spoken at length to this site about the new spirit across the Irons squad and says: “I have run a lot of businesses and the atmosphere in the work place is created by the top managers.
“At a football club the coach is the pivotal figure, everything hangs around him and Slaven is sorting out West Ham in his own image.
“The first thing we looked for when he was interviewed was passion and he has it in spades but he’s a down to earth guy who brings real dignity to the club in his general attitude.
It’s a totally different situation to ones I have known previously. There’s are no hidden agendas with the manager – he is ready to share his thoughts with myself and David Sullivan.
There have been times when managers have acted as though they are part of the secret service and kept stuff to themselves but that’s all gone.
“West Ham is a great club to be a part of these days.”
Can’t imagine who he’s talking about!
