0% Villa: Avram Grant sacked

[Brian Taylor]

Page is back..must have been inundated with mourners posting.

Poyet, Hughton, Mclaren Allardyce  suggestions for new Manager.

with O'Neill and Lambert as outsiders

Can't see MoN going there now.

Grant sacked in Tunnel before press interviews by Sullivan!?

[Big Dick Edwards]

I do seem to recall some people suggesting him as a Villa manager. Yikes!!

Grant did a good job at Pompey in very difficult circumstances. He got a team that went into administration to an FA Cup Final against all the odds, and kept them competetive in the league right to the end despite being forced to sell many of his best players in the January window.

The video isn't good watching for West Ham fans but it's funny at the end. I think it's Brady's kid giving it to mum in a fit of rage.

I think the poor lad's hacked off at having been made to go somewhere with his mom and worse still, made to wear a tie.

Listened to some of 6-0-6 tonight, and Alan Green was saying something about a discussion about the worst club owners, and the WH owners were high on the list.

Classless bastards! Couldnt even wait until they got back to London.

Yes. From Auntie:

BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty was at the DW Stadium for the match.

He said: "Rumours started to gather pace that Avram Grant had been sacked even before he attended his post-match press conference. He was asked whether he had already lost his job and said 'I am not going to talk about myself'.

"Grant then disappeared and around 20 minutes later a West Ham spokesman returned to the press room to tell the waiting media that Avram Grant was no longer West Ham's manager and that Kevin Keen would take charge of their final game.

"Grant looked close to tears throughout he final media briefing as West Ham manager and it now appears he knew his fate was sealed even before he spoke about the result that had condemned West Ham to relegation."

He took Spam to a LC semi final and Chelski to a CL final as well. But he still hasn't won anything and has done nowt in the league really at any of the clubs he has been at. The most positive thing he has done in was ensure money in certain areas of specialist employ in Portsmouth

Bruce is looking increasingly unsteady at Sunderland...could be them or Newcastle that gets the benefit of O'Neill's wisdom.

yep, that would be high on his list. Forgot about them, and he's always had an affection for the club and area. He'd also get solid backing from Quinn and in all fairness they have a excellent set up there already.

Grant has 37 months left on his contract. So there goes the parachute payment for next season. There will be a fire sale/bring and buy at the club too. All played out at their new stadium in front of how many fans ?

It couldnt happen to nicer owners. No sympathy from me.

Alan Curbishley, anyone?

(mostly so we don't get linked with him repeatedly as we almost certainly will do)

Gold will have to sell either his helicopter or a job lot of 12" Black Mambas.  What a palaver.

I agree. Doug would wait then invite them round his house in Sutton to look at his prize roses in the garden.

Kevin Keegan's in charge for the remainder of the season? I wonder if he'll last the rest of the campaign without resigning,

Kevin Keen.

I can just imagine Gollivan and Brady now. Sitting in their porn lair thinking of a way to get back in the good books of the Spammer fans. One of them will then have the idea of appointing a Wrist Ham legend as their new manager. Someone unemployed, therefore saving money and also with experience of managing in the Premier League, therefore the ideal candidate to bring them back up from the Championship.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls. Children of all ages, may I present to you, the one and only - Mr Paul Ince

I feel so bad for the west ham fans, well not really but having them as your owners is very depressing.
