Grant stands firm over future
West Ham's under-pressure manager Avram Grant does not expect to endure the same fate that today befell Roy Hodgson at Liverpool.
Hodgson departed Anfield by "mutual consent" and speculation has been rife that Grant could be the next Barclays Premier League manager out the door.
But Grant said he has received assurances about his position from West Ham co-owner David Gold and he is confident the club can build on an encouraging series of results.
Grant said: "I don't think it is the same (as Liverpool). The expectation of Liverpool and the expectations here are not the same. The money that you have at Liverpool and the money I have is not the same.
"Are there definites in football? If there is such a thing, let me know. I work for the club for the present and future. I need to do my job. If I told you that your job was under threat, you wouldn't believe me and would speak to your boss.
"So I spoke with the boss and he did he not say anything like this. I don't want to keep talking about this. The pressure is for me to achieve what I think I can achieve at this club. I think we are getting there step by step."
