Tarzan666 2nd Gear March 5, 2012 Share March 5, 2012 Sullivan: I regret ever hiring GrantMay 17, 2011 Email Print West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has expressed his regret over the appointment of Avram Grant last summer, labelling it a "bad selection" by the board. Grant, was hired by the Hammers last May despite having just led Portsmouth to relegation from the Premier League, and he repeated the feat this term - with West Ham rarely leaving the bottom three all season and eventually going down on Sunday after a 3-2 defeat at Wigan. The Israeli was sacked by co-owners Sullivan and David Gold within an hour of the final whistle and leaves Upton Park with an unimpressive record, which has seen him spend 67 of the past 71 weeks in the relegation zone with Pompey and then the Hammers. Sullivan and Gold sounded out Martin O'Neill about replacing Grant in January but after being snubbed they ended up giving the former Chelsea boss an unconvincing vote of confidence. "The entire board is 100% behind Avram," Sullivan told ESPNsoccernet in January. "He is a really decent person who deserves our support." While Sullivan still believes Grant is a favourable character, the Hammers co-owner says that, in retrospect, hiring him was the wrong decision. "Avram is a lovely person but the results sadly speak for themselves that it was a bad selection by the board,'' Sullivan told The Sun. "We all share some blame for the results - the board, the manager and the team. "However, the team can only play the tactics and formation they are asked to play. We want a manager who will get the best out of the squad and foster a strong team spirit.'' Sullivan also moved to ease fears that relegation from the top flight would have dire financial implications for the club. "Debts will fall as we [the owners] will put in more money,'' he said. The financial burden to us and our families will rise, not the debts of the club.'' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windchoco 1st Gear March 5, 2012 Share March 5, 2012 i am not refering to chelsea isolated case but as a general. I dont mind paying Rafa as its money from the two moroon. but paying money to get rid of underperforming roy hodgson?? even if the special one is around its still like that.. he dont groom young player. this is why inter is sufferring now. not young player to replace the squad. similar issue going to happen to real marid.. and when he leave real marid, rea l marid going to suffer and ppl thought its because he leave. but real issue is he dont groom young player. that is why my friend who support man u, is worry if he become the manager of Man U. FYI, I read somewhere that Real madrid squad avg age is <25. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mourinho did give former-wonderkids Mario Balotelli and Davide Santon their big break at Inter, but Inter after that chose to sell them to Man City and Newcastle respectively at Real Madrid, Mourinho also purchased highly-rated French youngster Raphael Varane, and also gave Sergio Canales his debut... but Canales failed to live up to potential and was loaned to Valencia i feel Mourinho could not afford to buy and give too many youngsters chances to play because Inter and Real Madrid are clubs that demand instant successes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
