Slaven Bilic wouldn't trade West Ham's bad season for a boring one

Slaven Bilic admits West Ham's turbulent season has been one of the toughest of his career -- but he would not swap it for a boring one.

The Hammers have had to deal with moving to the London Stadium, fan unrest, crowd trouble, an early exit from the Europa League and the Dimitri Payet saga.

They also suffered some heavy early-season defeats which left them in the relegation zone with questions being asked about Bilic's future.

But West Ham have emerged from that tricky period to climb into the top half ahead of Monday's visit of Chelsea.
