Seems positive to me and it doesn't seem like the club had to do too much persuading to get him to come to a Championship club. I just hope he is given the backing and time that he deserves to create proper change to this club. No more penny pinching and having to settle for free transfers, proper scouting of players outside of the UK, a good budget to work with, freedom to sell players that he doesn't want and of course the time to integrate the new squad. It won't be perfect straight away but I have confidence in Bilic's ability that he'll get it right long term. Goalkeeper Adrián is leaving West Ham on a free transfer. It wouldn’t surprise me if he becomes one of SB’s first signings.

New article up on the official site:
https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2019/june/bil...raditions/ Bilić on Championship ambitions and Albion traditions Slaven Bilić has made it clear he is relishing his first crack at a competition he describes as “the essence of football". The 50-year-old Croatian was confirmed as Albion's new Head Coach on Thursday and, despite a career which has taken him all over Europe and to two European Championships at both club and international level, the season approaching will be his first taste of the Championship. It is a division which he says has long fascinated him - “my friends will tell you it has been on my bucket list” - and the chance to take it on with the Baggies was hugely appealing. Bilić said: “First of all, my friends know, and my fellow coaches know, not just here in Croatia but throughout Europe, that the Championship was always a competition that was on my bucket list. “This is a common view and not just with me, I assure you. This is a view held by many coaches all over Europe. “It is like the real essence of football; it is a proper league and when I get the chance to manage one of the strongest clubs in this division, it was an easy decision to make. “I’ve played in England, I’ve managed in England. I know the club, I know West Bromwich Albion and its history, its traditions. I know their story.” We are Slaven's Bucket List Army!

Heard he got the keys to a council hose in Albion Road, needed a close look at the Academy.
Slaven Bilić, Dean Računica and Danilo Butorović are in the building.
I hope the players are ready for this. It’s going to very different for them compared to the past couple of years.
