Bookmakers are making West Ham boss Avram Grant favourite to become the next Premier League manager to get the sack. The Hammers are rock bottom of the league after a four match unbeaten run during the festive period seemed to signal a change of fortune.
But Wednesday's 5-0 thumping at Newcastle has again put the Israeli in the spotlight for the axe.
A senior figure at the club says the Hammers' hierarchy is undecided about whether Wednesday night's 5-0 defeat at Newcastle will be Grant's last game in charge.
But it is believed the board has no plans to hold an emergency board meeting on Thursday to discuss the manager's future.
Speculation surrounding the former Chelsea bosses position began before Christmas with the Hammers having spent all season in the drop zone.
