Curbishley Gone

[James.]

Hearing rumours he's resigned.

Don't ask me for a source or a link. I don't have one.

On Sky News as we speak.

[General Smuts]

Resigned apparently.

Thoughts?

[James.]

Resigned apparently.

Thoughts?

I beat you. Ha.

[Koke]

You could sense from his interviews that he didn't really get on with the board.

Selling Anton Ferdinand, while they are short on defenders wasn't the smartest move, was it.

[Fez of Mahrez]

Football is losing sight of reality more and more by the day.

[Uncle Albert]

There best start for 9 years, what a joke football is.

Keegan to West Ham.

[Tevez]

It's a Marathon, not a sprint.

[The Stig]

Another club in a mess.

[Flynny]

I bet thats upset anyone with money on Keegan going first.

[The Stig]

Alan Curbishley has resigned as manager of Premier League club West Ham United.

Curbishley tendered his resignation on Wednesday and it was accepted by West Ham owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson.

The former Charlton boss had grown disillusioned at the club's transfer policy, which had led to the sales of Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney.

The Hammers tried to justify the sales on their website, stating that they were "right for the club" and "based on our best long-term interests".

The statement added: "In the past week, agreement could not be reached with Ferdinand on a new contract to replace his original deal that had just two years left to run, while McCartney handed in a formal written transfer request after failing to resolve his personal reasons for wanting a move away."

From ye old BBC.

[General Smuts]

I beat you. Ha.

I beat off onto you. Ha.

[lildave3]

Forced out.

Shame really, best manager they've had since Harry Redknapp.

[Tabou]

Sam Alladyce will take over by the end of the week.

[Tommeh]

Welcome Slavan Bilic

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

seems ludicrous... the people that run football clubs (well some of them) just don't have a clue... that shoudn't be taken as a swipe at Mandy btw

[Bryn]

He's not right for them anyway, he's had a fair bit of money and he's not bought particularly well if you ask me.

[Guest]

Blimey! I'm beginning to think there may be some serious challengers to our crown for most managers in a season this year

[Darkzzz_]

It was always on the cards.

Curbs was marked from day one.

West Ham is another tough job to keep.

[dandannieldanok]

A lot of their fans deserve this kind of crap tbf.

[Corky]

A lot of their fans deserve this kind of crap tbf.

My thoughts entirely. When they are doing well it's a great place to be at, but when things aren't going well, it's vicious and hostile. If they are like this after a tenth place finish and six points out of nine, what will it be like if they are 19th?

[Matt]

Martin Allen to West Ham?!

Used to play for them.

Although Slaven Bilic was the tip well before the season wasn't it?!

[Tilley]

Absolutely bloody ridiculous

Hello Mr. Croatia.

[Thracian]

So long as it's not hello Mr Pearson I don't give a toss who takes over.

[Joinesy77]

Harsh on Curbishley as I thought he did a good job at West Ham, especially taking into account all the injuries.

The Board should stay out of footballing matters. It was obvious the board was interfering way too much, it could never work. Good luck to whoever the new manager is trying to work with that Board.

[Unabomber]

Martin Allen would be a brave/hillarious choice.
