Curbs considers Konchesky action

Updated 08.33 Fri Aug 17 2007

West Ham manager Alan Curbishley may take legal action against his former player Paul Konchesky.

The defender left the Hammers in the summer to join Fulham and he was quoted in a newspaper criticising the Upton Park boss.

"I just think that it is a little bit bitter and twisted" - Alan Curbishley

Curbishley said: "I don't think the boy has got any class and I just think that it's a little bit bitter and twisted.

"I've had a good look at it and there are some things that perhaps I might want to look at again. Legal action is something for me to consider and think about."

Curbishley gave Konchesky his debut for Charlton at the age of 16, making him the youngest-ever play to appear in the first team.

But he later sold the England international to West Ham.
