Alan Curbishley is ready to hit up West Ham United a second time.

The Telegraph says the former Hammers manager will submit a £500,000 legal bill to West Ham in addition to his demand for £3 million in compensation after winning his case for constructive dismissal.

The Premier League club's former manager, who walked out in September last year claiming players were sold without his consent, is eventually expected to receive about £1 million, a year's basic salary, but will have his legal costs met.

Even sources close to Curbishley don't expect him to receive the full £3 million.
