Croatian FA laugh off Hammers

Media reports have been circulating that Billic may decide the Hammers job is an offer he can't refuse if he manages to beat England again in their qualifier on Wednesday.

Speaking about the Hammers' chances of tempting Billic, Vlatko Markovic told the Daily Express, "It will be mission impossible."

"Bilic can't go because there will be a big political problem with Croatia. This is the usual speculation.

"Bilic can't go and, even if he loses against England, he is not going to leave as we are very happy with him.

"They might have money, but so do we and the Croatian FA has enough money to buy West Ham."
