Slav’s honest approach to new deal
Talks – as reported by ClaretandHugh earlier this week – are underway with the boss but it certainly doesn’t appear to be the number one priority on his agenda.
As has been reported many times, the West Ham United job has never been about money but as ever he approached the topic honestly when it was raised by the media.
He said he will only be worth a pay-rise if he turns the promise of his first season in charge into achievement come May.
He said: “I have a contract, I said the same at (his previous club) Besiktas – my contract is my work and only good work guarantees me that.
“What it says on paper, OK, it can give you a little bit of security but that doesn’t protect you from bad things. So my contract is my daily work, my next few games, but I am extremely happy here.”
