Slaven Bilic has admitted the club’s image has and is suffering as a result of the continuing controversies surrounding the London Stadium declaring:  “It doesn’t help.”

But he plans to do his best to lift the mood over the club in the only way he can – by winning games.

Asked if he was concerned about the club’s reputation if the problems persist, Bilic said: “It doesn’t help the whole situation.

“But the only way I can change that and influence that is if we start winning games. If we start winning games, fans will be less nervous.

“Part of the frustration from the fans is because we are not winning.”
