As for backing ...I do believe that! HF ia a prick!<br /><br />As for backing a manager with money, how could you back Zola? He would buy right backs to play left back, strikers to play wide left, wide left players to play wide right, right footers to play wide left...Hammersfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872521473888699856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157334771526760271.post-27485584802875465672010-05-21T18:57:28.384+01:002010-05-21T18:57:28.384+01:00No way do you believe that HF!

It cannot be the other way around. Grant will not start off with Zola's squad, of course not.<br /><br />If you are referring to Sullivan's verbal backing, then indeed, this will likely follow any potential success. But we both know it's actions that speak louder than words.Stani Armyhttp://www.staniarmy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157334771526760271.post-21764386970261710702010-05-21T18:11:20.862+01:002010-05-21T18:11:20.862+01:00The rating is only "luke warm" Stani.

And you know, as well as I do, that Sullivan will only back Grant IF he is successful. <br /><br />By the way, I think HF is a prick.Hammersfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08872521473888699856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157334771526760271.post-30659648620578556652010-05-21T16:25:17.222+01:002010-05-21T16:25:17.222+01:00How do you know he's got a steady pair of hand...How do you know he's got a steady pair of hands HF? :)<br /><br />See the issue I have is that people are making him out to seem like a very safe appointment and someone who is proven. But the fact is he is not. Even you could have managed that Chelsea side HF, even you :) And for his time at Pompey, only the cup run is something which is in his favour and even then, the team he had was far from a poor one. It was definitely more balanced than ours and stronger in a number of positions. And it was just a cup run thus not a thorough examination.<br /><br />Of course, he has much better chance to succeed at West Ham than Zola because he will be backed by the board and will have newer and better players.<br /><br />I just feel there are still a lot of question marks with him. His reputation is still a false one, the result of favourable circumstances. It's not the worry-free appointment I was expecting.<br /><br />I do hope he respects the tradition of football when he gets here.Stani Armyhttp://www.staniarmy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157334771526760271.post-79628691253250453832010-05-21T14:57:42.659+01:002010-05-21T14:57:42.659+01:00Id love Ian Holloway.

They then reported 'Just In' news and quoted Sullivan as saying of AG, 'he's someone we need to speak to in the next couple of days' (Grant is currently in Israel!)<br /><br />...and maybe there's a dark horse creeping up on the rails?

We'll probably bring in a clutch of premier league experienced players who are in their prime aswell. And with them and Avram the aim for next season is survival, then dependant on how much money the owners put in, we can push on.<br />Nothing exciting about this appointment, no. But next year we can look foward to a steady season with no thrills but Premier league safety assured early and, as it's Avrams speciality, a good cup run!<br /><br />Although i don't believe he'll be unveiled as early as tomorrow.
