West Ham<\/a> co-owner David Sullivan has outlined his desire for a British manager with a knowledge of the East End to succeed Avram Grant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grant was sacked following the Hammers’ 3-2 defeat to Wigan on Sunday that saw them relegated from the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Gus Poyet and Steve McClaren have moved quickly to rule themselves out of the running for the post and Sullivan, who is a co-owner of the club alongside David Gold, says they hope to appoint a new boss within a fortnight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will wait to see who applies, we will wait to see what happens generally,\u201d Sullivan was quoted as saying by The Independent<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be resolved within I would think two weeks.<\/p>\n

“I think we will definitely get a British manager, whether he is English, Scottish or Welsh makes no difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will get a home-grown manager.<\/p>\n

“I think we do need someone who understands the culture and I think if we get someone with a knowledge of the East End that is so much better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Hughton is currently many bookmakers\u2019 favourite to replace Grant, while Dave Jones and Neil Warnock are also in the running should they leave their respective clubs.<\/p>\n
