West Ham's excellent cup record this season continued as they enjoyed a relatively comfortable passage through to the fourth round of the FA Cup against Barnsley.

Goals from Jon Spector and Frederic Piquionne saw the Irons progress at the Boleyn on Saturday, but did little to quell the speculation over the future of manager Avram Grant.

West Ham chief executive Scott Duxbury has resigned.

Duxbury stood down last night and the club made the announcement this morning. His departure comes in the wake of the takeover of the Hammers by David Sullivan and David Gold last week, with Karren Brady appointed vice-chairman.

A new era at West Ham started today with the promise from new owner David Sullivan that he will do all he can to move the club to the Olympic Stadium in 2012.

Mr Sullivan, who along with David Gold acquired a controlling interest in the Irons along last night, promised changes will be made across the board at the troubled club.
