Lack of alternatives
If we do decide to let Bilic leave in the summer, who can we realistically bring in?
This report suggests that Roberto Mancini, Rafa Benitez and Slavisa Jokanovic are on our radar.
Benitez is unlikely to leave Newcastle for West Ham, Jokanovic is unproven and Mancini is on the decline.
Unless we have a really good manager lined up as Bilic’s replacement, sacking him makes no sense.
