I said a few weeks ago our board had shafted Bilic behind closed doors, but now they have done it publically.

Our board know nothing about running a football club
This is what he said
“It definitely wasn’t my decision and it wasn’t a football decision,” Bilic explained.

“I’m very disappointed. We are a team that needs all our good players, he is a player that has knowhow in the Premier League.

“He has vast experience, he’s an international player, he is a great professional and he played last week against Burnley and the whole week he was training with us when we were doing shape.
“Even on Saturday he was there and I had assurances he was going to stay and that makes me very disappointed he left.

“I know there are economic reasons and football reasons. We are newcomers in the league and we did great to keep our players from last season who were on loan but we were nowhere near as active as some other teams.

“I love my team. I love them, but we need players. We’re a football team, not a corporation.”
