Sam Allardyce's continued involvement with controversial agent Mark Curtis is top of the agenda at today's board meeting, KUMB has learned.

Whilst the team's style of football, Allardyce's distribution of available transfer funds and fan dissatisfaction are also points set to be raised at today's meeting between the Board and manager it is Curtis' association with the club that remains the Board's greatest concern.KUMB has learned that Curtis, a key ally of Allardyce's for several years recently informed a fellow agent that no transfers would take place at West Ham without being sanctioned by him first.Co-owner David Sullivan was subsequently informed of this conversation which is said to have led to him insisting on having personal involvement in any future transfers, as recently revealed in the wider press.Curtis, who you may read more about here now represents a number of players at West Ham including Kevin Nolan, James Tomkins and Allardyce himself.And the agent's insistence that Ravel Morrison drop his current representative Nick Rubery in order to join his stable last Christmas led indirectly to the 21-year-old playmaker's half-season loan to Queens Park Rangers.Morrison, who is set to feature for the Rs at Wembley in the Championship play-off final next week is believed to have reacted angrily to the suggestion of replacing long-term representative and friend Rubery, which is said to have led to him falling out with Allardyce and leaving West Ham.
