Redknapp blasts our board

Last updated : 04 September 2008 By Plymouth_hammer

Many media sources had suggested the former player and manager would be interested in returning to the club however he poured cold water over that idea after Curbs was forced to leave because of the boards transfer meddling.

Speaking to 'the Sun' he said, "Alan Curbishley may have gone as West Ham boss - but there's no way I'll replace him.


"Curbs quit because he feels he has been undermined and shown a lack of trust by the owner. I take my hat off to him for sticking to his principles.


"Don't get me wrong, West Ham is a fantastic club, with fantastic fans and - having gone there aged 15 - it has a special place in my heart.


"But I love it at Portsmouth and I have one big advantage over a lot of Premier League bosses these days: I've got an owner who lets the manager manage."


"West Ham sold players and it was nothing to do with Alan."
