Fulham assistant Alan Curbishley faces axe

Fulham assistant manager Alan Curbishley will face the wrath of owner Shahid Khan this weekend as the Cottagers' newly installed coach Felix Magath looks set to build his own, new management team.Curbishley had been brought in to Craven Cottage with bundles of experience and the club had hopes his prior relegation saving spells at Charlton and West Ham would help Fulham in their search for survival.

However a number of disappointing results means that an exit looks likely for Curbishley alongside his former boss, Rene Meulensteen, thus ending Curbs' miserable return to football.
