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 toldthat Grant will be sacked after Saturday's match with Arsenal - no matter what the result is.has also been told that the Hammers have already met with former Aston Villa chief O'Neill - who looks ready to step back into management at Upton Park. O'Neill left Villa at the start of the season, but now looks set to accept the challenge of keeping West Ham in the Premier League.
