West Ham United boss Alan Curbishley insists he has a good relationship with chairman Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson.

Front-man Eggert Magnusson may no longer be at the helm but Curbishley was happy with his new, more remote arrangement with Gudmundsson.

He said: "When Eggert was here we had constant dialogue. Since its changed I've not had that but we speak often and he has left me to get on with it, which I'm quite happy about.

"There is also a bit of turmoil in his world with the banks but I think he's quite happy with how things are going here."
