O'Neill Rejects west ham interest!

[olaftab]

It looks like the Porndealers have failed to convince Avram to walk out with nothing. Obviously any blackmail material they have on him is not working!

Yes, thanks Lizz for listening to Colin Murray so we don't have to.

It's appreciated.

Ha, made me smile Chris, he is a twat of the highest order. Almost into Alan Green territory....

Senior west ham source saying decision this week- I wonder if it's the same senior west ham source who rang skys David craig at 1 45  am yesterday to tell him grant was on way out and o neill in ?

Seems to me that o neill will not be happy the way it was leaked and there may be in split in the board, apparently gold likes grant and Sullivan wants grant out- would o neill reconsider after the goings on yesterday?

[Des Little]

I hope O'Neill goes there, gets them to Wembley, loses the final and takes them down.  Anyone taking the Sullivan/Gold/Brady dollar clearly hasn't any scruples.

If it was then he clearly didn't know what he was talking about at 1.45am yesterday when he phoned Sky's David Craig to tell him this story that yesterday you insisted was absolutely guaranteed to happen.

You are quite right dave , but it's the story that both sky and BBC reported would happen as I pasted from their websites early in the thread dave, seems that this leak and the way it all came out may have scuppered things or at least put it back a few days.

The lesson learned is that nothing is done until the ink is dry on the contract as dear old doug used to often say.

It's a bit unfair to single out one person on this thread when there are many others reporting the same thing including the normally reliable BBC. It's not like East19 was posted comments from caughtoffside or just Talksport was it.

[hawkeye]

Its funy that yesterdaySSN  reported a senior source that grant was being sacked and it didnt happen, now they are again reporting a Senior Source within WH and his future will be decided this week

[eastie]

Exactly hawkeye, doesn't look very reliable for sky or for west ham, although in fairness it wasn't just sky who carried the story and they were very clear it would happen and not might happen which suggests their source was very reliable in their eyes.

Maybe it's just been put back a few days as most of the media seem to think it will still happen this week.

They are bound to wait until after the LC QF now

My old Sales Manager used to say 'An orders not an order until you're in the pub getting pissed on the commission'

TBH will the players and the manager bother doing anything for that match now that news has broke. They looked totally deflated against Arsenal but before that match they had started to fight for results. They should just sack him now and appoint a caretaker until Martin or someone else sells their soul to Golivan. Maybe Ian Golloway might want to work there.

[Toronto Villa]

Apparently MON is well fucked off that rumours of his private discussion with the Porn kings has leaked. He may as well get used to that kind of stuff as it's quite the norm with that repulsive lot. Even more reason why I'm stunned he'd want to go there in the first place.

[Greg N'Ash]

Yeah the guardian is claiming he's had 2nd thoughts now he's been exposed as a back-stabbing cup who will walk over the lifeless corpse of another manager's career to get a job. The horse carrying your reputation has bolted Martin, you might as well take the job now

It was a little slip of the tongue which finally made a mockery of the embarrassing facade at Upton Park.

West Ham coach Wally Downes was wheeled out to spare Avram Grant questions about his future. “Whoever gets it (the job),” said Downes before quickly correcting himself. “Whoever was in this position would have found it very difficult.”

It was the first time that West Ham were caught out in their ridiculous claim that it was business as usual. Everyone from the tea ladies to the coaching staff were expected to put up an act while poor Grant was left hanging.

Grant was in charge despite every TV and radio station reporting that he was to be sacked after the game and replaced by Martin O’Neill. It was a similar story for Martin Jol and Mark Hughes when they lost their jobs at Tottenham and Manchester City.

As the day wore on and West Ham’s appalling handling of the situation left red faces around the ­boardroom, O’Neill got cold feet and poor Grant was waiting to be put out of his misery.
