CURBS SET FOR HAMMER-ING?

BELEAGUERED Hammers boss Alan Curbishley is 5/6 not to be in charge of West Ham for the start of next season.

And the former Charlton manager is 3/1 to be the next top-flight gaffer to leave his post.

Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: "Curbishley has had one of football’s shortest ever honeymoon periods. He needs to sort things out...and quick."

Bookies go 10/1 that the Upton Park club lose their next Premiership game, against Charlton, and Curbishley goes by the end of the weekend.

Weinberg added: "Should West Ham lose, Curbs' position will look even more precarious."
