Curbishley discusses Hammers exitFormer West Ham boss Alan Curbishley has revealed the reasons he decided to suddenly leave his post at the club this week.
In a statement released to the League Managers' Association Curbishley said: "I started my West Ham United career when I left school in 1974 and have remained a lifelong fan. I have been incredibly proud to manage such a great club and my decision to resign has been very tough.
"The selection of players is critical to the job of the manager and I had an agreement with the club that I alone would determine the composition of the squad.
"However, the club continued to make significant player decisions without involving me. In the end such a breach of trust and confidence meant that I had no option but to leave. Nevertheless, I wish the club and the players every success in the future."
