    He is on record as saying he could not work with murrey again.
    As murrey is no longer in charge who knows

    FFS no. He couldn't make it work with the imbeciles running our club and it would just sour the memories of a once-great manager.

    I'm not sure Curbs has spent 10 years in the wilderness holding out for a boss like Katrien.

    Murray is not their either. :)
    Does anyone really think Curbs would work for the dopey Belgian club destroyers.

    I wouldn't want any Charlton related legends anywhere near the club under the current incumbents and his bint sidekick

    Besides, no self respecting human manager would want a job working for them. Until they piss off, we will have a no mark picking the team.

    Someone has to own them. Why not me?

    Bring him back to work under RD and KM? No thanks. To replace them, though...

    Whilst I don't see why he would want to work for the Belgians, he was interviewed by them wasn't he?

    Are we not in a catch 22 position ?

    Do we want anyone to do well while RD and KM are in charge ?

    He knew the team we had when he left us were shit, what hope would he have with this bunch we've got now. He's not stupid. He wouldn't go anywhere near us.

    Curbs left West Ham on a matter of principal over player movement.

    Any of you thinking he would be able to work with the basket case clowns running this club are naffing deluded.

    Talk of him taking over at Melbourne City.

    From BBC website

    Former Charlton and West Ham boss Alan Curbishley has been linked with a shock return to management with Australian side Melbourne City. (Adelaide Now)

    Why not? A nice little jaunt to Aus for a while. I'm sure he'll do a good job out there.

    Interesting article on the role here...

    http://www.foxsports.com.au/football/a-league/melbourne-city-coaching-candidates-shock-link-to-gui-amor-to-replace-john-vant-schip/news-story/2ac9408083b42039f6c179fb516c7036

    “In that case, the other [options] are: Alan Curbishley, Avram Grant, who is with Ghana at the moment, Steve Bruce, who is with Aston Villa, Kenny Dalglish, Dennis Wise, Gordon Strachan or David Jones who coached Cardiff against Portsmouth back in 2008.

    “Out of all of them, no one really jumps out at you to say ‘ok that sounds right’. Maybe Avram Grant but he’s with Ghana and he’s got the African Cup of Nations right now.”

    For me Curbishley (and possibly Strachan) is the only one that jumps out at you... Grant is nothing more than a mercenary who jumps from job to job; Bruce would never leave the English Leagues whilst Dalglish and Wise are laughable!!

    And of course Melbourne City are owned by Manchester City, a backdoor into a bigger role praps?

    To be fair, Curbs a guy who hasn't manged in EIGHT years, and who has only worked in London since retiring as a player, doesn't sound the sort to go down under either!

    Curbs is persona non grata since suing West Ham.
