Curbs admits England affecting his Charlton plans

Charlton Athletic boss Alan Curbishley admits speculation over the England job is affecting his plans for next season.

After yesterday's win over Newcastle, Curbs said: "[The England speculation] is a bit of a problem when you are trying to go about the business of managing Charlton.
"The FA are going to be thorough and we will have to wait and see what their decision is, but we should be talking about this win.
"Every press conference is hijacked by questions about England, and I am trying to plan for next year. We are trying to attract players to this club.
"We will have to wait and see what happens, but the only time I think about the England situation is when journalists bring it up at press conferences."
