West Bromwich Albion hierarchy did not support Bilic in the summer

Analysis from Sky Sports analyst and former West Brom striker Don Goodman …

“I don’t think the hierarchy in West Bromwich Albion supported Slavin Bilic well enough in the summer.

“I understand there are budgets but you are looking at employment … Dianjana, Pereira – players who were already at the club; Krovinovic is back on loan.

“Gallagher is a good player but he was in the tournament last season. The striker is the biggest piece in the Panorama but Karlan Grant was mostly in the tournament too. It was a big request for Bilic.”
