Smiling Slav’s FA Cup preference – the fans respond

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has declared that he’d sooner win the FA Cup than reach the top four.

And he reduced a recent press conference to helpless laughter when holding an imaginary FA Cup over his head to demonstrate the point.

He then declared this was infinitely preferable to looking at a magazine and trying to find out where the team stood in its Champions League group repeating over and over to a keen journalist: “FA Cup!” even shrugging off the “Oh come on Slav” with the same response.

It was a genuinely hilarious moment and members of the ClaretandHugh Facebook forum at https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/ have been responding to Slav’s New Irons approach and his honest and direct approach.

Here’s some of their responses.

O Love him, incredible man

O This man is making us everyone’s second team again!
O It’s that enthusiasm -you can see the joy of winning his imaginary cup, all over his face-love him! COYI!
O Slav’s a Superman X
O He’s a hero
O He deffo gets what a football fan wants ..love this guy
O While Sam is still shaking his head wondering why we don’t love him. Slav has one thing 25 statisticians can’t buy. He understands this club and is fans. Simples
O You can see real relish in Slavs face thinking about winning the FA Cup 
 
O Yes I’d enjoy a pint with him seems a real genuine nice guy
O We are Super Slaven’s Claret and Blue Army. I can see why he was lifted high and carried out in farewell from his last club. And I don’t believe it’s one way. He loves us too.
