[cite]Posted By: Goonerhater[/cite]Curbs needs a good few months away from the Prem. There was a question mark (media) as if he could handle the big money transfers and big tim players. Whatever the truth at WHU it will be looked on that he coudnt.
As for Curbs and CAFC he can come and watch no problem, but thats it. All the bollox " going back tohis belved WHU " " always had the eastend in his blood" go coming back
NO COMING BACK.
My sentiments exactly, did a great job for us, but could not care less what he does now.
Curbs' timing is quite good, if you think about it .....
1) He comes in and somehow against all regulationsodds, manages to save the Hamster Scamster's Prem place.
2) The next season, with half the squad crocked for long periods, manages to finish a respectable 10th.
3) Having seen his squad reduced over his head, still manages to start the season with 6 points from first 3 matches.
4) Knows it would have been hard to better last season's 10th place on reduced resources, decides himself to leave on a high, on the back of a handsome 4-1 victory.
His Board made no secret of the fact that they might consider replacing him, so maybe payoff discussions had already been thrashed out - and an agreement that Curbs himself could announce his resignation?
That way their club dispose of Curbs in his favourite way, "......walking through the front door instead of ....", compensation already winging its way to Curbs overseas account, and a new managerial appointment to be made poste haste.
Curbs resigned....but did he jump or was he pushed....?
Best of luck for your future Curbs, you will always be a legend at Charlton in my view. You were never going to satisfy the hamsters. They would still be in the second tier if its wasn't for you (and Tevez and the FA).
I've no ill feelings towards Curbs what-so-ever and I'm always a little surprised by the odd(and the word here is odd!!) Addick here and there who seems intent upon giving him some sarcastic stick....uncalled for IMHO and who knows we might see him at The Valley now and again or even dare I say it, at a Bromley meeting...as long as he's not expected to edumicate that is!

What a great idea Soundas, now where can I get his phone number.
I said a couple of weeks ago when he already getting some flak that I hoped he walked out on them and they plummeted to relegation - it's no more than they deserve.
All the best, Curbs.
PS Apparently they've just had their best start to a season for nine years too.
Good luck to him. Fans expectation levels are too high in football now three years ago they were in the championship now they are forth in the league,ok his style of play can be boaring but if West Ham fans want attractive football dont expect to stay up
"The selection of players is critical to the job of manager and I had an agreement with the club that I alone would determine the composition of the squad.
"I started my West Ham career when I left school in 1974 and have remained a lifelong fan.
"I have been incredibly proud to manage such a great club and my decision to resign has been very tough.
"Nevertheless, I wish the club and the players every success in the future."

A first-team squad of 40 and Curbs signed a Utility player. Now that is funny.

exactly , exactly our club has gone downhill rapidly since his departure ,i hope they go the same crappy route
indeed but due to a terrible appointment.
Would love to see sam allardyce go there
You mean someone like Sama Allardichio!??
What a great idea Soundas, now where can I get his phone number.
both inexperienced mgrs one not even a mgr yet both could get them relegated too which i would larf and larf and larf (see i know eastend)
nope,i don't agree as i think pardew will come good this season.
All the best, Curbs.

he blames "a breach of trust and confidence", says their ticker.

Why are people here giving stick to, arguably, our greatest ever manager?
Some people really are ungrateful dickheads.
All the best Curbs.
