lmarsha_926 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I dont see the problem with Curbishley, he did wonders at Charlton signing the likes of Darren Bent for small transfers and promoted Scott Parker and Lee Bowyer through the youth ranks. He had loads of injuries at West Ham but still got them in the top 10, he brought Parker and Craig Bellamy to West Ham so has a history of buying good players.

jacketspuds Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 "Alan Curbishley's hopes of landing the Aston Villa job have been boosted after talks with the club." This is certainly my favourite bit of the article. Of course his chances have been given a boost by having an interview. The Mirror really are a bunch of mongo's. His chances aren't too good if he doesn't have an interview. Someone else has also commented something similar on the Villa News thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I dont see the problem with Curbishley You should join the board then. They're as misguided as you Employ him as a scratch card seller by all means. But lets leave him to his inevitable appointment as Fergie or Wenger's successor in the managerial stakes eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Come on guys, stop panicking, this reminds me of us making signings we really thought were going to be shit, just because they didn't have fancy foreign names, or didn't come from "Big" clubs, like Harewood, Heskey etc. Wer'e **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think Curbs has got something about him tbh. I can also see why he is not the most popular candidate mind you especially as he would be coming in on the back of one of the games most flambouyant characters. He does kinda seem like Mr Dull in comparison but i'm sure he's not that bad. Would personally prefer someone who has the potential in there somewhere to pull a rabbit out the hat & actually win us something though. Ah well no harm in dreaming...

holtender4life Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Players only want Kmac as they see him as soft touch. A manager like moyes, allardyce, curbishley et al would ruffle a few feathers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Ha. Forgot about Baros as well. Also thought he was going to be awesome for us. Not a good manager in my eyes ;-) Wrong thread? ;-) He might be worth a shout though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannockVillan Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 [ Like it or not - Lerner sold and bought players without a manager at the club. Pity he wasn't so hands on up to the deadline yesterday. We're in the wrong thread for this, and you're clearly very aggravated so won't take this on board, but I'll try anyway. Before MON resigned, (I'm told it was the day before the Valencia friendly but I can't confirm that) Lerner entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Man City for the sale of Milner in exchange for money and Stephen Ireland. It was a contract which, to all intents and purposes, bound us to selling Milner regardless of flood, pestilence and manager resignation. Backing out of that contract had a hefty penalty clause attached to it and would have cost millions. Gazton, Don't quite get that. A MOU is usually non binding and what'sthe point or value in signing a legally binding MOU. Why not just do the deal and agree to sell there and then subject to medicals andagreeing terms with players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham 2006/2007 - 15th 2007/2008 - 10th He will have better players at Villa. Its not a bad record. If we're looking at Curbs though we may as well give Peter Reid a go or maybe a Dave Jones or Mick McCarthy etc. All very much on the same level. Will do a job. Nothing inspirational about them. We have established ourselves as a top 6 club over the last 3 seasons and it is going to take a very good manager to keep us there and an exceptional one to take us any further. Curbs and the like will take us to mid table mediocrity at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulver Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Charlton 2000/2001 - 9th 2001/2002 - 14th 2002/2003 - 12th 2003/2004 - 7th 2004/2005 - 11th 2005/2006 - 13th Not bad for a side like Charlton, plus they got relegated after he left and look where they are now. West Ham 2006/2007 - 15th 2007/2008 - 10th He will have better players at Villa. YEAH! Those kind of stats really get me excited. Sure to have the crowds flooding back to Villa Park!. I bet the star names we have now would be queuing up to sign new deals too. Its not often a starname like Curbs comes on the market. He's obviously been fending off top job offers for the last few years with a shitty stick. Bring on the dullest man in football double quick!
