Hammers boss brushes off 'Save Our Season' day message
Avram Grant admits the West Ham United board were happy with the 3-1 victory over fellow Premier League strugglers Wigan Athletic.
Saturday's game at Upton Park had been billed as 'Save Our Season' day by the club's hierarchy following the team's disappointing start to the campaign.
West Ham had won just once prior to the fixture, but enjoyed a much-needed fillip as goals from Valon Behrami, Victor Obinna and Scott Parker see off Wigan.
Grant, whose position has come under scrutiny in recent weeks, confirmed he had received a positive response from the board following the win.
Very happy
"The board were very happy with the result and one of them came down to say it," said Grant.
"I won't say which one, but one of them."
The Hammers boss was also not concerned about how much emphasis had been placed on beating Wigan 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."
