McLeish empathises with Grant
Alex McLeish admits to having every sympathy for Avram Grant in his battle to cling on to his job as West Ham manager.
Grant gave his bosses every reason to hand him a stay of execution on Tuesday by inspiring the 10-man Hammers to a 2-1 Carling Cup semi-final first-leg win over McLeish's Birmingham.
But it may not be enough to avoid the axe, with the club's board reportedly due to meet on Wednesday to decide his fate.
Blues boss McLeish said: "It's not easy that, when you're reading about yourself in the papers and you have no control of it.
"I don't want to interfere in someone else's business but we know how football works, and we are all vulnerable when we get bad results."
