BBC reporting.... Martin O'Neill

[Tosh]

will replace Avram Grant as West Ham boss after the game v Arsenal

 

Grant not been sacked yet.... and has won 7 in 8

[Epic Swindle]

Bit of a step down for WH that.

Lots of other hacks contradicting this. Maybe Brady has gone early to force a change through momentum.

[lfc003]

Strange move

[Buzz]

He left Villa becasue of no money to invest in the team, so, tell me, what exactly is his motivation to go to West Ham?

[Epic Swindle]

I'm sure the LMA will be outraged.

[Hassony]

MO'N not happy about the way west ham have leaked this

 

he is a better manager than Grant, that's for sure

[Bigal]

Gold and Sullivan are massive massive c****

Is it 'For sure' though?

 

On what basis? Scottish titles? A defeat in a European Final?

[Gunga Din]

is any of the press reporting that at 59 he is too old?

not getting anyone relegated for starters

 

I don't particularly like O'Neil, I just feel that he'll do a lot better at a team like west ham than Grant

Gold and Sullivan are massive massive c****

 

An important point which should be re-stated for emphasis

indeed.

 

Also the difference in how the press - in terms of tone and attitude - spoke to Grant and spoke to Hodgson was just outrageous.

[Walrus]

So he's not going there after all. Martin Jol then?

[meredithmathieson]

So, West Ham fans must be delighted with life at the moment:

 

Stick with Grant or twist to Allardyce/Hodgson?

[Athelstan]

MON is favourite for virtually every job going.

 

All ha has to do is lay himself off on the betting exchanges each time and collect!!!!

[Andy @ Allerton]

West Ham dodged a bullet there IMO. Bit nervous he's still available. Terrified of the idea of him coming here.

[stressederic]

I don't particularly like Avram Grant, but he'd be well within his rights to tell the West Ham board to stick the job now and walk out.

That's exactly what they want

[Sion]

I think I would get more joy out of Hodgson taking over West Ham and them going down than I would Everton going down.

You just wait till Samuel and the other West Hamgeland fanboys get on the end of some ineptitude from him, it would be comedy gold.

Love how O'Neill didn't mind negotiating for the job behind Grant's back, but got all uppity about it when it was leaked.

Doubt it was the principle, more like a sign of things to come for him, with three high profile board leaders.

That's what they want but I'm pretty sure if he did that he could sue them for constructive dismissal.
