West Ham have put new contract talks with Slaven Bilic on hold.

The Sun says Hammers chiefs had planned to give the ex-Croatia manager a new deal in January, with initial discussions starting months ago.

But West Ham have only won two of their last twelve games and were smashed 4-2 at West Brom on Saturday.

It is now believed Bilic, 48, could be SACKED if results do not improve in the next month.

A West Ham insider said: “You normally don't have to wait that long to find out how it's going to go.

“Half a dozen games usually tells you what you need to know."
