Credit to Alan Curbishley - an honourable man in football.
Preventing a manager control his club's transfer policy is like taking away a window cleaner's ladder.
Curbs miraculously saved West Ham from the drop two seasons ago, took them to 10th last year and has started well this term.
He leaves the Boleyn with his head held high, while others should hang theirs in shame. It's time for the meddling boardrooms to back off and leave the managers to manage.
