Avram Grant has shrugged off intensifying rumours regarding his future at West Ham.
The club's 13th full-time manager, who has been in the Boleyn hot-seat for just six months is under pressure follows the club's disastrous first half of the 2010/11 season, in which his team have managed to secure just four wins from 22 games.To add to his woes, a series of recent fans' polls have overwhelmingly supported Grant's removal. Yet the Israeli remains confident - in public, at least - that he can still save the club's season.
"We are not analysing only one game, we are analysing the whole situation - and there are at least ten teams more or less in the same position," he said today during the Barnsley pre-match press conference.
"In football many people say that you are as good as your last result but we know what we are doing. In the last five games we drew two and we won two, one of them with Fulham away which is a very difficult place to play. We won a six-pointer against Wolves and then came the Newcastle defeat."
Referring to a question regarding his own future, he continued: "I don't have anything to say about this - I am used to it almost from the day I arrived. I need to do my job, the other things are not my area.
"For me it is like any job. It only matters what your boss is telling you and not what other people are telling you. I have a good relationship with the owners and we are only concentrating on how we can make our squad stronger, and not other things."
