Avram Grant The New West Ham Boss

It’s Avram Grant.  There’s a shocker!!!! didn’t see that one coming, ok I know sarcasm doesn’t always do well in print so lets cut to the chase and try to be sensible.

He has signed on a four year contract I believe.  After Zola left I must admit I did wonder who would be mad or desperate enough to take the hot seat but I suppose considering the opportunities out there West Ham isn’t such a bad proposition even if it does mean putting up with Sullivan.

He has an ok track record and after going through the usual media merry go round of being linked with every out of work or recently sacked manager, including some random ones that I had never heard of this does seem to be the sensible choice.  I am going to reserve judgement as the guy has only just got the job so lets see how he goes because in all honesty I haven’t really got any feelings on his appointment yet apart from what I have already stated.

There are things that are concerning me, these are only based on the usual media speculation though and that is we are now being linked with half of the recently relegated Portsmouth team. you don’t need to remember back that far to remember that with the team we currently have (at the time of writing) we just about stayed up by the skin of our teeth on a measly thirty five points and yet we are being linked with a whole host of players who couldn’t keep their team up.  I know they had the nine point deduction but they still would have been relegated without that so you can see where my concerns are coming from.

SUGO don’t need to come out and tell us there isn’t going to be a lot of money available as they have been making that all to clear already and with the comments that apart from Scott Parker the rest of the team are all up for sale suggests that to buy we will have to sell.  This also comes as no shock, so I wonder where all this will end up? I just hope we don’t have another season like we have just had.

I wish Avram Grant good luck as on and off the pitch I think he is going to need it.
