‘Slaven Bilic is the ONLY man for West Ham’ – Former captain Kevin Nolan backs under-pressure boss

Former West Ham captain Kevin Nolan has thrown his support behind under-pressure manager Slaven Bilic.

Despite receiving the public backing of the club board only weeks ago, it was claimed on Saturday morning that Bilic’s job is under threat again after a torrid run of five straight league defeats and seven without victory.

But the Hammers halted that run with a battling 1-0 home win over Swansea on Saturday – a result which lifted them eight points clear of the bottom-three and dumped the 18th placed Swans further into the mire.

And Nolan insists Bilic is the right man to lead the Hammers forward.
