It may be difficult, but at least we have a vice-chairman who has a column in the best selling national newspaper, took its editor to the Arsenal game, and is never off our television screens - if she can't fund someone at West Ham with good media links, no one can.... <br /><br />Atnmattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-34219497059365396922011-01-18T16:17:35.900+01:002011-01-18T16:17:35.900+01:00DC comments via email:

Grant has proved himself a master of office politics and Karren Brady is left embarrassed by the text pest story.<br /><br />Guess you don't get to work with Abramovich at Chelsea and numerous iffy owners of Portsmouth without knowing how to cover your back.<br /><br />Interesting contrast at Villa, where Lerner has backed an under pressure manager by backing a huge bid for Darren Bent.Pete Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492414093187007414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-64245543666763626872011-01-18T12:31:31.805+01:002011-01-18T12:31:31.805+01:00Nicholas Clee is absolutely right in his analysis....Nicholas Clee is absolutely right in his analysis.

Members of the ...Here's what may have happened. Members of the board want to make Grant's position untenable, and to get him out without paying compensation - as they tried to do with Zola. So they embark on a series of leaks, culminating with the information that Grant will be sacked after the Arsenal game, and that O'Neill will take over. But Grant is too canny to say anything that might be construed as in breach of contract. And O'Neill looks at the handling of the situation, and decides that this is a club to avoid. So Grant stays.Nicholas Cleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768734712635376841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704906222106374133.post-822422981575406802011-01-18T12:15:04.640+01:002011-01-18T12:15:04.640+01:00If, as I suspect, they're not true, the club n...If, as I suspect, they're not true, the club need to find the source of the continual rumours undermining the management and hang theme out to dryBlakeyhammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233829692612316280noreply@blogger.com
