One newspaper reported that he was set to be offered a new, extended contract at Upton Park, but he says: "I don't go too near the papers. I like to be consistent so that I stay focused in terms of what I feel I have got to do in order to do the job properly - because things have gone relatively well lately doesn't mean that I'm looking at every newspaper that is printed.
"I'm not, I'm keeping my head down and working hard - someone did tell me it got a mention but, like all the speculation about transfers, I don't know where it came from.
"It is something that is out of my hands, only other people can talk about my position."
The length of Glenn's contract has never been revealed, but in any case he is simply concentrating on the next game - and the next new face at Upton Park.
One man who it is not likely to be is Slovakian centre half Vladimir Labant, despite reports that he is on his way to Upton Park.
Glenn admits: "He came over on a Busman's holiday for three days and it just coincided with us playing Arsenal.
"While he was in London it made sense for him to come to a game and he decided to come to our one.
"As he plays for Sparta Prague and he was having a little holiday, he popped his head into the dressing room as he knows Tomas Repka well, and I ended up having a little natter with him.
"I've seen him play but there is nothing to be said at the moment."
But Glenn is looking around and he adds: "The search goes on for quality loan signings to come into the club because we are going to need them and I'm endeavouring to find a couple in the next couple of weeks to accomodate the problems that are going to occur with suspensions.
"It makes the job that much more difficult because I don't want to get down that route that we have done in the past of not finding that quality in the squad."
Looking at the general situation at the turn of the year, he says: "Overall I have been very pleased with the performances this month, and that includes the defeat at Sunderland on the first day of the month when we let them off the hook.
"If you look at each game individually and honestly, you can see that we could have picked up a few more points.
"That includes the terrific performance against Liverpool on Saturday which I look upon as two points lost, not one gained. The way the game unfolded, we really should have won that.
"What is key is that there has been a consistency of team selection as well; the group of players that I want to stay fit have done and that is absolutely crucial, vital, use whatever adjective you want - it is the be-all and end-all of our season.
"We view Saturday's result as losing two points and that's why we are even sharper and keener to make sure we get something out of this game.
"But Leeds have come good of late, with two away victories, so they have got their tails up - but I'd like to think we have as well after six games unbeaten.
"Leeds are high flying with genuine title aspirations."
2001 has certainly been a year of surprise for Glenn, who says: "If someone said this time last year that I would be manager of West Ham in 12 months time I suppose I'd have had a smile to myself but it happened.
"That is the nature of business and life - you don't know what is round the corner, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
"It is a hard challenge, but one that I personally want to succeed in, and if I do everyone will be happy because it will mean the club will have started to go forward again.
"I'd like to wish all our supporters a happy new year and whatever they want for themselves in their lives I hope they get."
