Slav gets vote of confidence

|

Former Irons boss Alan Pardew claims Slaven Bilic will know how to deal with his present problems better than himself!

The Crystal Palace boss said: “He’s an experienced manager – an experienced international manager – and he’ll know how to deal with it. Better than I will. I have no doubt he’ll get it right sooner rather than later.’

He said: ‘It is part of the managerial role we have that everything is centred on the results. Sometimes all the stuff that goes on around them makes it difficult to get those results.

Pardew identified an early start in the UEFA Europa League and the switch to the London Stadium – and the resultant teething problems – as reasons for their poor start.
