Slaven Bilic is competing with Marcelo Bielsa, Scott Parker and Tony Mowbray, however, these West Bromwich Albion fans aren’t interested in accepting the Manager of the Month award.
Bilic is currently one of four managers in the running for November’s Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month award, as his side won all four matches that month and conceded only two goals while managing to score nine.
Despite this being a positive accolade, many of these West Brom fans are keen for their manager to avoid the award, suggesting that it’s cursed in some way and should be kept well away from the club.
Here’s what the West Brom fans had to say about Bilic being nominated:

Who will win the Manager of the Month award?
Slaven Bilic
Marcelo Bielsa
Scott Parker
Tony Mowbray
The winner for the award is said to be announced on Friday morning, with it seeming likely to be a two-horse race with Bielsa and Bilic and many of the Hawthorn faithful do not appear to be too concerned should the Leeds United boss take it.
Please don’t win

What Do We Think?
Of course, winning the award is going to be something that Bilic and the whole of West Brom would be proud to receive as it goes a long way to show the hard work they have been putting in over the last month. Indeed, fans appear to be against it because of a so-called ‘curse’ associated with it, which just leaves many with a talking point and one they hope won’t come to haunt them in the future.
