Silver lining on horizon as Grant survives storm

STABILITY is about as rare as silverware at Upton Park but Avram Grant heads into this week with genuine hope of some of both.

Just seven days ago it seemed only a matter of time before Grant was dumped by West Ham, who did all they could to persuade Martin O’Neill to head to the madness of east London.

After their public approach to his recruitment persuaded O’Neill he would rather remain unemployed, Grant looks likely to see West Ham through to the end of the season.
