Cole: Zola wants to stay with Hammers
West Ham striker Carlton Cole believes manager Gianfranco Zola wants to stay at the club but admits players may be sold this summer.[LNB] The 26-year-old powerful forward, who has scored 10 Premier League goals in 29 appearances this season, says there is a definite air of uncertainty around Upton Park at the moment.[LNB]This follows the comments from the club's co-owner David Sullivan that every player except Scott Parker is currently for sale at the right price.[LNB]Cole realises that the financial state of the East London outfit may force the owners' hands in the transfer window this summer, but amid speculation that they could sack manager Zola, he says that he thinks the Italian wants to stay.[LNB]"With so much happening around the club everybody's uncertain about their own future," he told Sky Sports News.[LNB]"So hopefully we can get this matter resolved and I think the manager wants to stay.[LNB]"So that should be the bottom line to it really. It's just up to the two owners Sullivan and (David) Gold to sort out the situation and bring some clarity to it."[LNB]Regarding the comments on player sales from Sullivan, Cole added: "We take these things with a pinch of salt but you can understand where he's coming from.[LNB]"They have taken over the club, they need to shake it up a little bit. If the right offer comes in then I think they'll take it.[LNB]"We're not financially stable as yet and we're still trying to recoup some money. So if the right offer comes in for a player then I think they'll take a look at it.[LNB]"I'm not saying that player will go but they'll take a look."
