Next Premiership Boss To Be Sacked? Look To East London!

West Ham boss Alan Curbishley has slagged off the supporters in recent weeks, and that puts him on the rocky road to hell.
When the fans turn against a manager, the chairman usually 'dabs his underpants' because he knows who their next target will be, and Curbishley is licking up to his boss after West Ham's third 4-0 defeat in three games.
We know only too well at St James' Park how a chairman can sacrifice his manager at the drop of a hat, and it looks as though Curbishley is heading out of Upton Park.
Curbishley woke up to reports suggesting his job may be at risk, although he feels his board are sympathetic about the problems he has had.
Curbishley: "I think they are realistic about it but we'll have to see on that score because it's a results business.
"Up until this week we hadn't been too bad so we'll have to bounce back."
"We're in football and nothing surprises anybody but I would have thought (they would understand). They are realistic about what has gone on. They get the update every Monday of the injury situation.
"Any other team that has had six or seven out every week would find it difficult. You can see the difference in teams with settled sides.
"We took two wallopings going into the game and I asked for more aggression and application."
