Bilic in for the long haul...

From Claret & Hugh so feel free to cunt off, but nice quotes and good news all round.....
“Slav can do a Wenger or Fergie at West Ham”
Posted by Hugh5outhon1895 on October 29, 2015 in News, Whispers
Slaven Bilic’s admission that he would like to become the Sir Alex Ferguson of West Ham United is the sort of talk everyone around the club wants to hear.
In an interview with a Turkish media outlet Slaven made it clear that as his aim at the club was to do the sort of job for us achieved by the Scot.
David Gold for one admits that our new manager is certainly young enough to do a Fergie or an Arsene Wenger which in these days when managers do well to remain with a club three or four years is a big admission.
Delighted with the start Slaven has made, Gold told ClaretandHugh: “Obviously it’s much too early to get into big predictions about how long any manager may stay but yes he’s young enough to do that and it’s a lovely thought.
“There’s no reason why, if he continues as he has begun, why he shouldn’t be around the club for a very long time to come. That would be the hope.”
Gold has been as impressed with the manager’s off the field approach to the job as the results he’s achieved on it.”
He said: “He has a very good attitude, determination, aggression and humility. It’s a great mix and has left a good impression with everybody.
“I’ve heard it said that he has a similar manner to John Lyall. That’s a very high compliment but he does come across very well indeed.”

I would fucking love to have the same manager for 20 years. Would be immense.

Tbf, we're known for that loyalty more than most. Massively cost us at some points (Roeder, Grant) but rather that then a swap every other year like Chelsea job.

Certainly hope he is in for the long haul as the man oozes quality and was a brilliant appointment by the owners.

Loving the optimism and am as big a Bilic fan as anyone, but let's see where we are after 20 games this season before we start thinking 20 years ahead.

Would be great in he stayed that long, big plus is the fans (in general) and the owners don’t have unrealistic ambitions like the so called “Big” clubs, any of the usual suspects finish outside the top 4 or don’t have a least a cup win/final, then the manager is shit and the board are considering a replacemt, Klopp, a bit like LVG may get a bit of grace but odds on the expectation is still top 4 or “he’s shit”, Man City though anything but a title and the manager is lucky to keep his job, they quickly forget the titles the manager did win them, then there’s Chelsea, who seem to have brought in how many so called top level managers in the past few years? Yet at the first hint of a bad patch or a dip in form and there booted out, just look at Jose currently, looks a dead man walking especially if he fails against Liverpool.
Give me an entertaining side to watch, passion and pride with a Top half of the table finish or to be cheeky a league title now and then! (well we got win ONE at least, never happened before but before I die, that’s one thing on the list beforehand) and a CL season now and then, a Cup win or at least a decent run every few years and I bet most life long West Ham fans would be more than happy, in fact delirious.

Biggest obstacle to this happening is a foreign investor coming in and demanding instant (and then constant) success.... hope the Daves and Slav carry on for years though.

Indeed LJC, but put the quote in context, as i would be the first to agree, that sounds a tad hypocritical and delusional.
You forgot, the 'Give me an entertaining side to watch, with passion and pride'
oh, and whats so wrong with dreaming of a title, unlike the likes of Chelsea or either Manc club, its not expected?

I think we need to stop getting carried away.
We're only 10 games in!!
It's great we've started so well and that Bilic has brought back some pride to the club. I really hope it lasts and he has a successful season to take us into the new stadium.
But let's enjoy with some cautious optimism.

Sydney the quote was in context? I took out what i didnt feel was unrealistic and kept in the bit that tied in with you saying we had realistic fans. There is nothing wrong with dreaming but saying we are realistic and then saying give me a title, CL and cup final/wins is not being realistic at this point in time.

LJC, on the one hand i get what your saying but on the other, im a bit WTF!
the point is aim high, but for a good majority of our fans, well maybe the long term ones at least, is that as long as we are giving it a go, playing good entertaining football, then most of us are happy, UNLIKE some of our neighbours.

oh, and were not going to turn on a manager just because we had a season without a trophey.
Be nice, but not the be all or end all, like it seems to be in Manchester, Liverpool or other parts of London.

The owners are more loyal to managers than most clubs and the fans love him so if success comes then why not.
I'm just so please the owners didn't get who they actually wanted and 'made do' with Super Slav

I think Klopp or Emery could have done a job or do you just mean Benitez?
