    Bit on sky this morning about a 25 year old, female football agent (quite tasty actually!). One of her clients is Curbs. Is that why he hasn't got a job yet?

    Perhaps Curb's is already an alkaline environment and doesn't need cranberry juice .... ?

    If you are going to use yoghurt make sure its natural yoghurt with live bacteria. You could try strawberry, which would taste better but will not be the solution to cystitis.

    Still think Curbs won't take any managerial jobs til after his courtdate with West Ham in November....

    Fear he will never get a management job again, criminal seeing all that he has achieved. But to be fair only himself to blame spent too long out of the game and has been too picky in jobs he will go for. Shame as I'm sure most of us always wish Curbs the very best

    I'm sure he's crying all the way to the bank.

    can see him doing what lennie ended up doing. Sitting as a DoF at a small club somewhere for a good few years and then moving back into coaching. I fear his management days have passed and would have to drop down to league one to get some one to take another punt on him. A shame for all that he's achieved

    Lol. I really didn't think that would 'whoosh' anyone.

    Have a whoosh on me. (And you forgot to correct the last bit to 'of'!)

    It'll take him a decade to wash off the stink of the fool'em felix magatt debacle. Only that Oyston berk at Blackpool has a short enough memory to sign someone with that much recent 'success'

    He wasn't there with Magath though. Curbs and Ray Wilkins were dismissed following the removal of Rene Meulensteen. Easy to be wise in retrospect, but Fulham might still be a Premier League club if they'd put Curbs in charge until the end of the season rather than bringing Magath in.

    Did Curbs even have time at Fulham to get a desk?

    I'm sure he could get a job in league 1 or 2 if he wanted to. Probably just doesn't want to.

    His problem is that he thinks he's "Premiership" but these days I think he's the only one thinking that way, so L1, L2 is beneath him. He'll never work as a football manager again unless he get's off that high horse.

    Wow you really know him well.
    I like the way you haven't made this up at all.

    And, and I'm annoyed at myself for not spotting this straight away, where he should have used "of", he used "'ve" so maybe it was done in jest.

    Is there some pre-programmed frequency which Curbs' employment situation is raised and discussed?

    Yep. In fact most of the threads on here are started by a very clever computer program created by the Moderators. Most of the posts on the threads are automated too. I'm one of the few real people on here, or am I???

    it took Curbishley a long time to achieve what he did at Charlton. He knows that in the contemporary game if there is no success for a manager after a month or so, the sack is a more than likely outcome.
    Curbishley is not poor, he is a very clever and astute man. I suspect that he knows that his style of long term, strategic management is no longer suited to the game that he still loves. He neither wants nor needs the hassle. Curbishley is ok as a TV pundit and I wish him all the best in that role
