I have spoken to the owners and they know where we are," Grant said of the speculation in the Daily Mail.[LNB]"When I took the job they said it is going to be tough. They took over a club with many debts and the first task is to regain financial stability.[LNB]"We agreed that for the first season we just have to stay in this league. That is the objective.[LNB]"I want to build something exciting here. Something to be proud of because West Ham is a great football club.[LNB]"I signed a four-year contract because I have a vision that the owners share. But they are also responsible people. The kind of people a club like Portsmouth needed.[LNB]"Nobody is happy that we have no points. The picture might not be good now but it is one that will improve. I know it will."
