Alan Curbishley has hit out at Sir Alex Ferguson over
his comments about Carlos Tevez.
West Ham and Manchester United have found themselves at loggerheads
over the controversial transfer of Tevez.
United are confident of wrapping up a deal for Tevez when he
returns from the Copa America even though the wrangle over his
ownership continues.
Ferguson expects the move to be tied up soon and he has upset
Curbishley with his comments that Tevez single-handedly kept West
Ham up last season.
Curbishley, who has admitted Tevez is unlikely to link-up with his
side for the tour of Austria, has slammed Ferguson's comments as
being disrespectful to the rest of the team.
"I was a bit disappointed with Alex's comments about Tevez keeping
us up," Curbishley told the Sunday Express.
"There were ten other players out there and a lot of them were big
performers for us.
"There was a lot more going on that just Carlos Tevez. Every day
has been a Tevez day for the last two months.
"I have kept my own counsel and got on with it. But I was
disappointed to hear Alex say that.
"I expect we are going to Austria and he is not going to be with
us.
"But please don't keep talking to me about Tevez because there is
nothing I can do about it."
Curbishley also hit out at Yossi Benayoun after the Israeli left
Upton Park for Liverpool earlier this week.
The Hammers chief believes Benayoun was happy to stay at the club
until he heard of Liverpool's interest.
"I was disappointed with Yossi because he had signed a new contract
and it turns out he hadn't," added Curbishley.
"When Liverpool came in for him it changed everything.
"I didn't want Yossi to go and we didn't need the business."
