WEST HAM get their man ..
Martin O'Neil is staying in the south .. probably one of the worst or best kept secrets around these parts of Wycombe
but Martin is now a 'Hammer' ...
Former Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill is to replace Avram Grant at West Ham United with the London club poised to sack the manager this weekend, sources said today.
Grant’s position has been under scrutiny for weeks following West Ham’s poor form this season.
He looked to have seen off the threat after guiding them to just one defeat in the last seven games and to the verge of a Carling Cup final.
But now sources have told Sky Sports News that Grant will be sacked after tonight’s match with Arsenal – no matter what the result.
It is also claimed that the West Ham have already met with former Villa chief O’Neill - who looks ready to step back into management.
O’Neill left Villa at the start of the season following a row over transfer policy with club owner Randy Lerner, and has been out of football since.
Bookies’ odds on the 58-year-old Ulsterman replacing Grant were slashed from 20-1 on Thursday to 2-1 on with Paddy Power and 9-4 on with Star Sports.
