Gardening Leave Over
Once he's counted the cash, Curbs could be back.
Alan Curbishley should be appearing at a football stadium again very soon after finally winning his case for ‘constructive dismissal’ against Wet Spam United.
Curbishley walked in Nov last year after the Spammers sold players against his wishes. Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney were flogged to Sunderland for 8 million and 4.5 million respectively, voiding the terms in the managers contract. Its no secret that West Ham have been cash strapped for quite some time now and the sales were seen by the club, at the time, as ‘necessary’.
“The club completely ignored my contract when selling Anton Ferdinand, and when George McCartney was then sold, the club having given me assurances that no players would be leaving the club after the sale of Anton Ferdinand, I had no alternative but to resign. My authority and integrity were undermined and my position was made untenable. I now wish to put this entire matter behind me.”- Former West Ham man Alan Curbishley.
Kelvin Koogan Kevin Keegan won a similar case against Newcastle last month when it was deemed that Mike Ashleys pet Dennis Wise was signing players without Keegan’s consent. The amount of moolah that Curbishley will be collecting from West Ham has not been decided yet but now that this case is over I should think that the former Charlton manager will be looking to get back into football.

Hull City are looking for a non-orange manager, maybe…
I hear Liverpool are interested
Chances of him actually SEEING that money, however…
NYKid on suicide watch:
Clichy out a month with suspected back fracture.
This sucks big time… Gibbs has the speed to attack like Gael but makes too many mistakes tracking back.
That’s not true, MH. He’ll see every Icelandic Krona he’s got coming to him.
@hockalees – yeah, it’s been discussed in the UF email chain. Arsenal round-up coming at 12.
well, you may have lost Clichy, but it’s like you gained a player now that Bendtner is going to be out. Arsene will be forced to put a real forward on the pitch.
