The Olympic Park Legacy Company are expected to announce tomorrow that West Ham have beaten Tottenham in the race to move into the stadium in Stratford in three years' time.

The Hammers are thought to have gained the edge over their rivals thanks to their commitment to honour Britain's pledge to host athletics meetings at the stadium after the Games.

Some fans object to moving to a stadium with an athletics track around it, but Grant is firmly behind the move.

The under-pressure Israeli believes it would be an honour to lead the east Londoners out at the stadium, but admits he does not know whether he will last beyond his current contract at the club which ends just before the planned move.

"There has been no definite decision yet, but I think if we are successful it will take the club forward," Grant said.

"I think it's in our area so the people in the area deserve it.

"I would be happy to lead the team out there. I don't know if I'll still be manager in 2014 though.

"Three years in football is like 30 years in life."

An increasingly bitter war of words has broken out between the two bids this week, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy warning that West Ham's plans do not make financial sense, especially with the club battling relegation.

The Hammers say their plans for the stadium are sound and Grant insists the club will still be able to sell tickets to fans even if they are playing second-tier football in 2014.

Grant said: "The last thing I want is relegation but the supporters will come to support West Ham in any league.

"We want to stay in the league, it doesn't matter how and we will do it."

While much of the media spotlight has been focused on the stadium row this week, Grant has been working out how to pick his team up from last week's damaging 1-0 home defeat to relegation rivals Birmingham.

Whether West Ham successfully move off the foot of the Barclays Premier League table will be down to the form of Scott Parker.

The midfielder was rewarded for his good club form with a call-up to the England squad for yesterday's friendly in Denmark.

The 30-year-old impressed as a second-half substitute and Grant believes he can play a key role in England's Euro 2012 campaign.

The Israeli also thinks a place in Fabio Capello's squad for Ukraine and Poland is a possibility, even though the midfielder will be 32 by the time the tournament begins.

"He was very good, just like he has been all season," Grant said.

"He deserved to be there last night and he played well and it's good for him and good for England.

"He is 30 but in very good condition. His body is in very good condition."

Parker was called up to Fabio Capello's provisional World Cup squad but did not make the Italian's final 23 for South Africa.

Grant hinted he thought the England boss had made a mistake by omitting the playmaker.

"I was not his manager then but now I know him and I think he can help," Grant added.

"He can come from the bench, he can start, he could give a lot of things that can help the national team.

"Every manager has different opinions. I'm sure it was not personal but Scott is one of the best midfielders in England."
