What if Big Merv changed his name to Mervyn van Day, so sound more like the sort of Low Countries regional league coach that seems to appeal to RD?markmc68 said:AC's cv reads.
Took over this club when we were going nowhere.
I know and understand the club.
Taken the club into the premiership.
Kept the club in the premiership.
Don't stand for any old bollocks.
Had Mervyn Day as 1st team coach.
RD response.
Sounds good. But please no Mervyn Day

As much as we are getting excited at the prospect of him returning, we all know deep down it will never happen, which is gutting really.3

I imagine David Van Day would have more chance, he's top dollar.The Red Robin said:

Come and get me RD!The Red Robin said:"I look at the Championship and, I’m not being disrespectful, but not many foreign managers have won promotion.

Please stop it, it's just making me feel hopeful and everybody knows it would be completely counter to the way things are being done. Curbs would want guarantees that simply won't be available.0

Has a manager ever had such a long period out of the game, returned, and been successful?0

Would it make us worse...Bring in Curbs!!!PragueAddick said:Has a manager ever had such a long period out of the game, returned, and been successful?

I doubt Murray would want him back, seeing that he ended his contract a year early and paid him for that year too despite Curbs saying that he would see it out or mentor a new manager in.
But Murray knew best.2 -
Di Matteo shouldn't really count as one here in my opinion as his playing / managing career in England spans 1996 -2012. Curbs has a point though, the prospects of winning promotion is heavily weighted in favour of British Managers.The Red Robin said:"I look at the Championship and, I’m not being disrespectful, but not many foreign managers have won promotion.

never go back
curb's and roly douchebag's salary expectations won't match
curb's point about experienced championship managers are usually the ones to achieve promotion is valid - curbs hasn't managed in the championship for a decade and a half0 -
If RD would appoint curbs as our next gaffer most of my negative views toward roly will turn into positives.
Fingers crossed but can't see it.0 -
Curbs left because he thought he was to good for us.
Reckon he is only keen now because he is desperate.
Move on.

Did he really think he was too good for us or did he just feel he'd taken us as he could? He did offer to do one more year but Murray said no.Absurdistan said:Curbs left because he thought he was to good for us.

He did a couple of other things too whilst he was with us if I remember rightlycolin1961 said:Remember Curbs paid 2.4 mill for Marcus Bent and paid him 23k week before he left ... Remember him falling out with a lot of players including Murphy, Parker, Rommadhal and Dean Kiely...

There was a very good reason to fall out with Murphy and Parker, the same one that made the majority of fans fall out with them.colin1961 said:Remember Curbs paid 2.4 mill for Marcus Bent and paid him 23k week before he left ...

Plus he fell out with Parker because he stitched us up, Rommedal because he consistently underperformed, Murphy because when we hit a dodgy patch of form and really needed our skipper and highest paid player to step up to the plate Murphy went missing far too often. Seems that now, as then, too many are willing to blame curbs for individual player's failings.10

Fergie paid x amount for Djema Djema and fall out with Stam, whats your point?colin1961 said:Remember Curbs paid 2.4 mill for Marcus Bent and paid him 23k week before he left ... Remember him falling out with a lot of players including Murphy, Parker, Rommadhal and Dean Kiely...

I remember he consistently finished well away from relegation... On a budget...sold out the Valley week in week out and sold Parker for £10m. Sounds a like a very shrewd operator who M.Duchatelet might appreciate even if only on a consultancy basis to help out in the second year of Staprix ownership.colin1961 said:Remember Curbs paid 2.4 mill for Marcus Bent and paid him 23k week before he left ...

Rumour from a friend that Matthews is in charge till the end of the season
Not to sure how serious it is but did tell me about vetokele and Henderson0 -
It didn't help that there was a reasonably sizeable group of numpties who were giving him stick and thought we needed to get someone else in to "take us to the next level". I cannot believe, particularly after the repeated implosions of the last few years, that any geniune Charlton supporter would have anything negative to say about Curbs. So weird!Absurdistan said:Curbs left because he thought he was to good for us.

Would be happy with that as long as it didn't mean Luzon or any other Duchatelet reject was lined up for the summer. Give Matthews a chance and if he's good enough, appoint him long-term, if he isn't, let him go back to his role as coach.CharltonByBlood said:Rumour from a friend that Matthews is in charge till the end of the season

I'd have been happy with one of curbs, Matthews or Riga, so I'm pleased with this. Much better option than Luzon IMO.CharltonByBlood said:Rumour from a friend that Matthews is in charge till the end of the season

Now hopefully RD will back him to make a few signings and secure safety/slyly push for the play offs3 -

Never go back.
Curbs surely couldn't work under the restraints of the current regime, doesn't seem a good match.
Leave his legacy in a good place.0
