Bilic is preparing to enter the final year of his contract and there is no new deal imminent. But despite the Hammers’ current owners having previous in allowing managers to run down their contract before letting them go, Bilic is not losing sleep over his future. Instead Bilic, who has shelled out £40million in signing Javier Hernandez, Marko Arnautovic, Pablo Zabaleta and Joe Hart this summer, is relaxed over the club’s stance. Bilic, busy in training yesterday with Hart (top) and Arnautovic (underneath), said: “I don’t think about it. It was the same at my old clubs. I’m not worried. “My contract is for one year which is long enough. I don’t think about it in a negative way. I’ve been in football long enough to know it doesn’t matter if your contract has one year left or five years left. I don’t get obsessed with it. “The board are backing the club and the team. They want West Ham to be successful and that’s why they were ready to spend money.” West Ham have made sure there is no repeat of the woeful work in last year’s summer transfer window. Simone Zaza, Jonathan Calleri and Alvaro Arbeloa were among the arrivals to flop. Instead, they have gone for proven Premier League performers in a clear shift in transfer market policy. West Ham head to Manchester United tomorrow bidding to avoid the struggles of last season. Bilic added: “If we can cut down on injuries then we can do the business.” year one at Real.
