Martin O'Neil / Sunderland manager

SKY
West Ham United are ready to sack Avram Grant and replace him with Martin O'Neill this weekend, sources have told Sky Sports.

Grant's position has been under scrutiny for weeks following West Ham's poor start to the season.

However, he looked to have seen off the threat after guiding them to just one defeat in the last seven games.

But now sources have told Sky Sports News that Grant will be sacked after Saturday's match with Arsenal - no matter what the result is.

Skysports.com has also been told that the Hammers have already met with former Villa chief O'Neill - who looks ready to step back into management at Upton Park.

O'Neill left Aston Villa at the start of the season, but now looks set to accept the challenge of keeping West Ham in the Premier League.

Decent appointment but their treatment of Grant has been shocking. Then theres the fact they're on tele every day talking about players whether its Joe Cole, Beckham, Henry etc, an embarrasment, the pair of em.
