Hammers dismiss Curbishley complaints

West Ham vice-chairman Asgeir Fridgeirsson has rejected comments by outgoing manager Alan Curbishley that the club’s transfer policy represented a “breach of trust and confidence”.

Curbishley stepped down as Hammers boss yesterday and claimed that transfer decisions had been made without him, with the deadline-day sale of George McCartney to Sunderland believed to have prompted his decision to resign.
