// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Gianfranco Zola insists he has no intention of quitting West Ham following speculation regarding his future.[LNB] The Italian was reported to be weighing up his options after being informed that he would be forced to part with key players.[LNB]The Hammers' Icelandic owners were said to be keen on trimming the Upton Park squad in an effort to ease their financial woes.[LNB]Zola, though, claims he has been told of no such demands and is adamant that sales will only be sanctioned if they are beneficial to all concerned.[LNB]"There has a lot of talk about that (quitting). It's not true," he said.[LNB]"I know the club is working and trying to make the team better but we are short.[LNB]"I haven't threatened the club that I would leave. It is not true.[LNB]"We're not really under pressure to sell players. Not for the moment. As far as I know, we are trying to reinforce the team.[LNB]"If we do anything, it is because we'd like to reinforce the team - as simple as that."[LNB]Zola went on to reveal that he enjoys a positive working relationship with West Ham's sporting director Gianluca Nani and chief executive Scott Duxberry, the men in charge of transfer activity at the East End club.[LNB]"So far at this club I have a perfect understanding with Scott Duxberry and Gianluca Nani - we work very well," he said.[LNB]"All that you see here is a creation of all of us. It's a very good relationship and I trust this relationship.[LNB]"If something happens and I am not called to be asked, then it is going to be a different story but then I will tell you.[LNB]"To clarify it completely, I have been brought here to work on the pitch. That is my main concern.[LNB]"That is what I have been doing for 11 months. That is what I want to do. If someone has to be sold or bought, they ask me.[LNB]"I don't want to interfere in other things because I believe my main strength is working out there with the players."[LNB]
