Alan Curbishley has revealed he is considering taking legal action against Paul Konchesky following the full-back's outspoken criticism of the West Ham boss.
Dyre Joins Club In Turmoil
In what is thought to be an unprecedented step in Premier League history, Curbishley is ready to call in the lawyers to study the allegations made by Konchesky.
He told a Sunday newspaper: "There was, and still is, a lot of unhappy players at the club who don't like him. I am one of them and he knows that, and that is why I left the club.
"I know there a lot of players who don't think he is any good. I am sure that is one of the main reasons Carlos Tevez didn't stay at the club, and also why Darren Bent refused to sign for West Ham. It was because of the manager."
Curbishley reacted angrily when asked for his response to the comments during a press conference on Thursday.
"I don't think the boy has got any class and I just think that it's a little bit bitter and twisted," said Curbishley. "I've had a good look at it [the interview] and there are some things that perhaps I might want to look at again. That (legal action) is something for me to consider and think about."
