Slaven Bilić turns down Fulham

The Croatia boss has seen his stock rise in recent months after he masterminded England's downfall in Euro 2008 qualification, with his side's 3-2 victory at Wembley ultimately leading to the departure of Steve McClaren.
Bilic was at Craven Cottage on Saturday to see the Premier League clash with Arsenal, before appearing as a studio guest with Sky Sports on Sunday.
The former West Ham centre-back insists that his latest visit to England was purely to meet with three of his Croatia squad; Arsenal forward Eduardo da Silva, Niko Kranjcar of Portsmouth and Manchester City's Vedran Corluka ahead of the forthcoming friendly against Holland.
And Bilic insists he remains committed to his role with Croatia, having already rejected the chance to boost his wages by taking a post in the Premier League.
He said: "If I was after the money, I would have accepted the first offers that came my way from Mohamed Al Fayed (Fulham chairman) and others.
"If I have to explain my position every time I cross the border, no problem. I've been to London privately a few times before."
Roy Hodgson took over as Fulham boss in December following the sacking of Lawrie Sanchez, who was only appointed as Chris Coleman's replacement in May.
Bilic is still to reveal his plans for after the Euro 2008 finals in Austria and Switzerland this summer, but has denied reports that he has already turned down a new deal from the Croatian Football Association (HNS).
He added: "British media praised my position as patriotic after I told them money isn't everything and that I took up the Croatia job for a different reason.
"I do believe I am underpaid but that's not an issue at the moment and I knew exactly how much I would be paid when I took the job. It's also not true that I have turned down an improved offer from the Croatian FA.
"I've had a terrific relationship with the HNS all this time and I won't let anything spoil it. This speculation doesn't bother me at all but it could affect the team spirit."

its good to see that in todays profesional football isnt everything about money
do u think that National team coaches(or coaches in general) are overpaid
what would the appropriate amount be

I think everyone at the top of English football is overpaid, Bilic is reported to be on about £50,000 a year which should be about right for all players.
