"Bilic is way out of his depth" - West Ham fan's 5 Live rant
Bilic is a man under pressure following the Hammers' dismal start to the new Premier League campaign.
A club probe has been launched following suggestions that Andy Carroll and Darren Randolph were still revelling on Tuesday morning following the Monday night squad meal at Knightsbridge restaurant Signor Sassi.
Bilic made it clear the Monday get-together had been his suggestion and that there would be no repercussions until Saturday's game at Middlesbrough is completed.
He said: "It was completely my idea.
"I told Mark (Noble), the skipper, to take them for dinner. It was a good idea and good to do.
“There were rumours but it’s not proven.

”I spoke to the chairman. We have a game coming up. We will talk after that and if necessary act on it. That’s all I’m going to say.”
Bilic also shrugged off reports from Italy that Roberto Mancini was being lined up as his successor.
He said: "I am not worried. I am delighted to work here but I will only focus on the things I can have an influence on."
