FAO Berlin Canary

Know for a fact that certain candidates dropped out as they wanted to bring in their own men and decided that he had too much to lose by taking a job where they had been told they had no money to spend and had to work with the current staff.

I have on good authority that Worthy was not on a rolling contract as we were informed by the board

I also know that the players found out that Grant was to be the new manager when Ashton and Green rang them to tell them that he was not on the West Ham team bus travelling to Portsmouth.
