Alan Curbishley has absolved himself of any blame regarding the Freddie Ljungberg farce.
Ljungberg parted company with West Ham United yesterday having made less than 30 appearances for the club - at a cost estimated to be anywhere between £8-13million.Many supporters have held Curbishley culpable for what has been called the worst signing in West Ham United's history.
However the beleaguered manager came out fighting this morning when he refused to accept responsibility for the blunder, claiming that he has absolutely nothing to do with the club's finances.
"Ever since I've been at the club, all the transfer negotiations, fees and contracts have been done by first Eggert Magnusson and now Scott Duxbury," he said.
"He's the person to go and see. I just recommend."
Ljungberg joined West Ham a year ago in a £3million switch from Arsenal. He left United yesterday after the two parties reached a settlement on the two remaining years of Ljungberg's contract.
