Manager on Monday

In his Manager on Monday column on the West Ham official site Gianfranco Zola is looking forward to next season.

Zola said:

"I am sure that the team will be better and don't forget that we will have Ashton back and that will be a big thing for us. Plus all the players will be better next season."

"There are difficult decisions to be made but I have to take the decisions. And I will do that with the interest of the club to take us forward. When the moment comes I will make them."


In the papers Zola is also quoted as saying that Danny Gabbidon is back in training this week, after a very long injury break.

"This is very, very good news that he will be training with us next week," said Zola.

"He is looking forward to next season, which is good. I am not sure whether he will be on the bench this season as he has been out for such a long time but it will be fantastic to have him train with us."
