Grant positive over Hammers future

Avram Grant is confident of realising his "long-term vision" for West Ham despite the prospect of relegation.

The club were delighted to be named as the preferred bidder for the Olympic Stadium last week, a step which owners David Gold and David Sullivan believe could usher in a bright future.
Grant is also working towards that, but accepts their perilous Barclays Premier League position means they must for now focus on one match at a time.

 The Hammers are just one point above bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have played one match fewer, but Grant is refusing to be downbeat after his side came back from three down to score a 3-3 draw at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Good Squad

He told the club's official website: "We are thinking positively. We have a long-term plan here at West Ham.
"We knew this first year would be difficult but our vision is that every year we will do the right thing.
"When we come to the (Olympic) stadium we will have a good team in the Premier League. We have a long-term vision but in football that has to start with the next match.
"We built a good squad and if everyone is fit, or even in 90 per cent are fit, we have a good team. If you make a table from the last 10 games, we are in the middle of the league."
