Slaven deal ready for action

Slaven and the club set to shake hands on new deal

CandH Exclusive by Hugh Southon

Slaven Bilic will be offered a new deal at the end of the season.

And ClaretandHugh can reveal that it will add a year to his present deal in the form of a 12 month rolling contract.

The  board will rubber-stamp the details at a board meeting next week which will ease the fears of fans who believe the manager’s position could still be in  jeopardy.

The club has been delighted at the progress they have seen over recent weeks as the boss has seen his team revitalised with the departure of Dimitri Payet.

The manner in which Slav dealt with that situation and the turnaround in form has been a revelation after the shocking first few months at the London Stadium.

Greedy managers would normally want a three or four year deal in order to ensure a pay-off for failure but Bilic is not motivated by money and will have no issues signing the rolling contact.
