Cotterill unhappy with Grant raids

Steve Cotterill has hit out at West Ham for poaching staff from Portsmouth - and warned that Marc Wilson will be harder to prise away. Avram Grant managed Pompey last season before leaving over the summer to take charge at Upton Park.He then appointed senior coach Paul Groves and goalkeeping coach David Coles, while Cotterill says the club analyst could soon be on his way to West Ham as well.The Portsmouth boss is unhappy with the situation but does not expect the Hammers to try and sign defender Wilson.The highly-rated 23-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League club and Cotterill hopes that if Grant is interested he will conduct his business in an appropriate manner."Surely West Ham have done their swooping on Portsmouth, There is a manager, assistant manager and a goalkeeping coach," Cotterill told Sky Sports News. "From what I hear as well they are going to be nicking our analyst, so I am sure there is nothing else that Avram wants to take from me."I'm sure he'll look down at us with some sympathy and not put in a bid for Marc Wilson. "I would hope he'd come to me but he hasn't done about our analyst."Cotterill maintains that Wilson remains an integral part of his plans at Fratton Park and will not be going anywhere.Asked what would happen if the player hinted he wanted to leave, Cotterill replied: "It doesn't matter if he does. He is captain and I want him here."
