West Ham boss Grant insists SOS promo did not concern him

West Ham United boss Avram Grant was pleased with victory over Wigan Athletic.

Grant insisted still being bottom was not a concern.

"We have played only 15 games, so at the moment it does not really matter if Wolves win or the others do - we need to do our job," he said.

"When you come to the last few games, it is important, but now the teams who are in the top 10 can be in the bottom.

"We are only nine points from the middle. That is something you can close, especially when you have 20 more games to go."

The Irons boss was also not concerned how much emphasis had been placed on victory by owners David Sullivan and David Gold.

"It was a marketing thing, and I always say to them you can do anything you want, as long as you don't come in my area," he quipped.

"Maybe because of them the supporters were very good today."
