Curbishley to Stick by Players

According to The Daily Mirror Alan Curbishley is keeping Nigel Reo-Coker as West Ham captain. He also reassures the players that he has not prejudged them,

"I know quite a lot of the players already, and it is a clean slate for everybody. I have not got any preconceived ideas."

Whether this will reassure Konchesky, whose 'friend' informs The Guardian that the left back left Charlton because of Curbishley, is another matter.
