Alan Curbishley

When speaking of Fulham refers to them as "we". Not impressed Alan.

But he's working for their management team, we wouldn't he?

Dey do dough, don't dey dough?

But they are not prem.

Curbishley may be a legendary manager, but god he's a boring pundit!

Only way he'll manage a premiership team now is if he promotes one.

Have always had the impression with him that he's not been too interested in getting back in the game since West Ham.

He always stated, although it may have changed now, that he had earned the right to manage at Premiership level and would only consider managing a Premiership club, that along with the legal case against West Ham hindered any prospects of managing at the highest level. he was offered the job at Wolves in their relegation season, but they would only offer him an end of season contract and he wanted (rightly) more than that.

Yes, I agreed with him totally with the Wolves position.

A shame that he never got the adulation afforded to Powell.

cant be too many managers that can say that 2 of their former signings (Powell & Rowett) are now successful managers themselves

If you manage for as long as he has(d), you're bound to manage future managers. Pardew and Redfearn as well, plus coaches like Robson, Kinsella, Kiely, Euell etc

Hope you can back a comment like that up

So my question to you is why would u sack a manager that has done well since coming in (Guy Luzon) for Curbs a manager who has been out of management for so long

Well he hardly had the personality to receive the affection from the fans that Powell did. He didn't court adulation, he did a professional job. He was undemonstrative and his deadpan and uninspiring post match interviews were legendary. He loved football more than he did Charlton.
Powell on the other hand had forged an affectionate relationship with the crowd in his three spells as a player, something Curbs never did.
Adulation is a two way emotion, you have to give to receive.

Comparisons to Powell need to be in context. He was a white knight in a dark time for the club. The heart had disappeared and he brought it back. Curbs gave us an incredible period and was hugely popular for it. But Powell's love stemmed from a different story.

I'm guessing that he meant hypothetically if the job was available, not right now.

Don't need to back it up Paulie, its an opinion I'm entitled to it, and I'll stick to it.

You are reading into this comment far too much fella

not really you said you would have him back in a flash, so I just wondered why
I mean its not like Luzon has done anything wrong, if we was managerless I would agree

I don't think he means get him in now, it's all hypothetical..............he's not Roly!!!! he doesn't have the final say.

Have a cup of tea and calm down, your nerves are shredded for some reason.

calm down, how is anything I said anything other than calm lol
this is the problem with the internet its impossible to tell things like that

I was just wondering why he would take curbs in a flash, its just a question and believe me I am very calm

i'd take Curbs if we had normal owners (but we dont) because i believe over the course of a season or 3 he'd be better than Guy
but this freaky set up is best for someone who understands how it works , step forward Guy of Luzon

Luzon has done well, but if it was up to me and I was asked whether to remove Luzon and replace him with Curbs tomorrow, I'd say go for it.
