Avram Grant<\/a> admitted he could leave West Ham United<\/a> at the end of the season, after a draw with Blackburn Rovers<\/a> failed to move his side off the bottom of the Premier League<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Serious question marks have appeared over the Israeli\u2019s future, with the Hammers enduring a torrid season and their point against Blackburn was their first from their last six games.<\/span><\/p>\n

The draw with Rovers may have all but consigned West Ham to relegation and Grant admits he can\u2019t deny he is under pressure but rued the absence of \u00a0the injured Scott Parker from the squad.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot argue with the position, I can argue about the football we play, we missed the player of the year Parker and others – so many players,\u201d Grant told reporters.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course we want the result to be better, we needed a little bit of luck, it could help us a bit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Grant also refused to deny his exit from Upton Park is imminent and accepted he is responsible for the club\u2019s disappointing campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to wait and see, there\u2019s two games left this season to see about the football,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my responsibility, all the things that have happened in the club.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Grant\u2019s comments come after Goal.com UK<\/strong> revealed on Saturday that he is in line for a shock return to Chelsea in the summer<\/a>, with Roman Abramovich ready to offer him the role of sporting director.<\/span><\/p>\n

The manager has also refused to comment on suggestions that he has lost the backing of West Ham owners David Gold and David Sullivan, but insisted he still has confidence in his players.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI will not answer this question, it is a tricky question, everyone wants us to succeed though, this was a part of a target, part of a vision. On the football side we don\u2019t have any complaints, this is the football we wanted to play,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
