West Brom fans have got a wonderful manager in the form of Slaven Bilic and it seems that the Baggies all love their gaffer. They’re not the only ones who love the Croatian, though, as West Brom’s Chief Executive Mark Jenkins has hailed Bilic as ‘a Premier League manager’ in The Express and Star.
Also was off yesterday so didn't get around to tweeting this one. But he's chief executive Mark Jenkins saying, he believes, in Slaven Bilic Albion have a Premier League manager https://t.co/vxMJMQccI0 #wba

The fans’ reactions to this comment can be separated into two schools of thought. The first one of those is that Jenkins couldn’t be more right, Bilic is fantastic and he’s going to win promotion and show what he can do in the Premier League, but others have taken a different approach to it.
A group of fans, whilst also acknowledging just how impressive Bilic is as a gaffer, have called upon the club to ensure that their manager gets the required budget to ensure that the West Midlands club remains a Premier League outfit for the foreseeable future after winning promotion.

He’s much more than just a premier league manager

He is in my opinion. Look how many points he’s won us with his subs this season.

Yes you do, most definitely. Always rated Bilic

if promoted will he get a premiership managers budget ?

Will be as good as the players he/club sign. Will need a Premier League budget if they do go up.

It’s too early to say that. His use of subs has been excellent, but his defensive organisation, less so. We’ll also need a new spine of players in the summer, so choosing and integrating them will be another challenge.

The Baggies have loads of time for Bilic and will be keen to see their gaffer take them to the promised land and keep them there.
