Dowie keen on Hammers job
West Ham are on the lookout for a new manager following the dismissal of Avram Grant earlier this month. Dowie, who has been of work since leaving Hull in the summer of 2010, admits he would jump at the opportunity of taking charge at West Ham. "Anybody would be silly not to be interested in a club like West Ham," Dowie told Sky Sports News. "You never know if you will get that call or not, but I sense they may for a slightly bigger name and look to make a statement and you would understand that and there is no problem with that. "You always think you can add a bit of a difference and add a bit of value on the training ground and I always think it is important as a coach to develop players and I think my record is fairly good at that. "I've always said given the right opportunity that would be right."
