Hammers wants CURBISHLEY as boss
-
ALAN CURBISHLEY has been targeted as West HamÂ’s new boss by the consortium about to buy the club.
The group, headed by Kia Joorabchian, expects to complete the £80million deal next week and wants Curbs to replace under-fire manager Alan Pardew.
The Hammers have not won since the opening day of the season and have just five points from eight games.
Pardew admitted after last Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Portsmouth that his job was on the line — but there is a feeling around Upton Park that he could resign.
And with the pressure mounting on and off the field the beleaguered boss will be hoping for a sign of hope from tomorrowÂ’s trip to Tottenham.
However, while Iranian businessman Joorabchian was willing to give Pards time to prove himself, a contingency plan to install Curbishley has been hatched. -
HAMMERS MOVE LINKED TO TAKEOVER
West Ham's possible move to the 2012 Olympic Stadium hinges on one of the two takeover bids for the club being successful.
Hammers chairman Terry Brown held talks with senior Olympic figures this week to discuss the club moving to the new stadium once the Games are over.
It is understood the club would not be able to afford the move unless they are taken over - and both bidders would look kindly on moving in at the Olympic Stadium.
Sports minister Richard Caborn is among those supportive of West Ham taking over the stadium post-2012, though he has furiously rejected a report that he favours one bid over another. -
