West Ham United co-chairman David Gold admits they're breathing a little easier after victory over Wigan Athletic.
Gold was delighted with the response from fans to their SOS promotion.
Gold admitted: "We're still bottom but I'm thrilled with the victory and such a spirited performance.
"The board felt we needed to make some changes to the coaching staff because something wasn't quite right. We proposed to bring in Wally and Avram was thrilled to have him. So I guess you can call it a team decision.
"It was Avram who had the final decision. Anyone who comes in on the football side will always be the manager's decision.
"We do our best to be supportive but I wouldn't want anyone to get the impression we do anything other than what the manager wants."
Perish the thought!
Gold, though, was delighted with the fans and said: "We had a full house even though we weren't exactly playing Manchester United. Wigan brought both their fans and packed their corner.
"I'm not being disrespectful, just pointing out how powerful the contribution of West Ham fans is.
"When we go to Wigan we'll take 5,000 as they are true supporters. They know if they don't turn up it has an impact."
