Grant stays at West Ham - but for how long?

It now appears that West Ham United will be retaining Avram Grant as manager. Today they say they are “committed to retaining Avram Grant as manager”.


This after all the speculation over the weekend and the worst kept secret that the Hammers were courting Martin O’Neill for the job. However, it seems that O’Neill declined to take up the management role at Upton Park.

Having failed to tempt O’Neill back into management – he left Aston Villa last August – West Ham say they were now identifying “potential transfer targets” in a bid to avoid relegation.

Earlier in January owners David Gold and David Sullivan would not comment on Grant’s tenure after a board meeting.

One can’t help but wonder how long Grant will last if things turn worse again for West Ham.
