    When will Lord Curbs return to the promised land and save the chosen people of the Red Valley from this slow death?

    I would defo come down if he was announced as manager, as I guess would many others, but sadly this is just pie in the sky.
  • If he came back & it didn't work out, he could ruin his legendary status. I would hate to see that happen to the greatest manger of this club in my lifetime

    Never go back.

    Unless she was bloody good and is clearly up for a bit of a "catch up"

    Would have him back in a heart beat. But no point with this mob, wait until they're gone because theywill go one day (hopefully soon). Then get him in.

    Perhaps he'd like to buy and bankroll us

    Surprised no one has put it to him yet, and I guess live on SSN might not have been the place, but the fact that Katrien named him as having applied for the job on (hidden) camera after the Watford debacle. If it's true then it's more ammunition to fire at the current regime and if it's a lie well I guess the same applies and in fact it would be hilarious if Curbs sued her for libel.

    The thrill of the ex is always worth closer examination, almost regardless of how good things were or weren't before they heartlessly dumped you/were dumped by you/as applicable.

    Dave, UKGold et al just about only show repeats. That don't just work on telly.

    Can imagine Keithy P texting curbs about the removal of these pictures.



  • Curbishley should not come back, remember him for what he did for us before.

    Why take chances on the idiots we have here who would still f*** him about.

    Imagine the lift it would give the club if A.C came back. Roland would be wise to consider it because as things stand, Div. 1 is more than a possibility.

    I'd love Curbs to come back but I can not see him putting up with RD and I suspect he would eventually walk out. Let's not forget (if you read Curbs book) he mentioned clearly his relationship between himself and Richard Murray was a successful one because Richard let him got on with his job and I suspect RD will have a different attitude towards this.

    Pitchers of past glories. Well they can bloody take that one down.
  • Curbs was meticulous and extremely hard working. He also treated the clubs money like it was his own. I remember Gary Rowett saying at a supporters meeting that if a ball went over the fence in training, he'd insist that it was retrieved. In the early day's he and Gritty would travel the country viewing future opposition. I also like the story of him climbing the gate at Paulo Di Canios house ( he was out) and leaving him a Back to the Valley DVD in order to try to persuade him to sign for us. It's really shameful that he's not even being considered after what he did for our club.

    Whereas Dowie and Pardew spent it as though they were the Wife thinking they were on a luxury shopping trip when in fact they'd gone to Primark and Poundland!!

    In some strange parallel universe where Curbs was appointed, how many fans do you think would turn up for his first home game in charge?

    20k +
    13,500. We were saved from extinction in 1984 and got 7,700 for our next game. Truth is, not that many people REALLY give a f*ck about Charlton. Certainly not 27,111 people anyway.
    Yeah, well in *your* strange parallel universe, people might not give a f*ck about Charlton. But in *my* strange parallel universe, there are 25,000 Charlton season ticket holders and they're expecting a *lot* of walk-up sales for Curbs' first game back, because we're playing Neptune United, the beer's free (and it tastes great) and everyone likes the cheerleaders.

    These clowns don't want older fans, let alone older managers. AC was and remains a club legend. Let him stay that way. It's never a good idea to come back to the place of former glories. All the more so under people who are so abjectly clueless

    I can't think of anyone I'd rather have in charge of Charlton.
    I can't think of anyone less likely to be given the job by Roland.
