Yes, it is an old story but this is the first time i've seen it mentioned in the press about Curbs coming back if the TO went through. The problem is with this story is that if/when this story gets rubbished, the number of depressives on this site will rise and then there will be the further slatings of the board because they will be accused of stopping Curbs from coming home, irregardless of if the story's true or not.

The number of depressives is I am afraid growing by the minute mart77. Without some serious change in our club I and it would seem many others genuinely feel that Charlton are heading for a good few years in the wilderness which would be tragic after the success of our recent history.
Why not? I know the return of the messiah is as likely as bumping into Elvis in Catford high street but it's a move that would surely suit all parties. Curbs tried at his boyhood heros and didnt succeed in the eyes of his "success must be instant"" critics so perhaps he has become disillusioned to a degree. Maybe he doesnt want the pressure and expectation that he unintentionally created from the miracles he performed with us by going to a top flight club outide of the big 4 where the board, the media and the fans will be on his back if he doesnt win every game 3-0 in his first season.
He would be back in his comfort zone coming back to us and welcome back with open arms by 99% considering our current predicament I would imagine. His track record of building a team that punches well beyond its weight as opposed to being the Goliath getting shot down by various David's each week as we have done the past couple of seasons would surely be embraced now more than ever.
I'm not in the know so haven't got a clue if it is just sensationalism and lazy journalism but will be bloody happy if he did return with varney to continue where they left off...this time to a fan base that knows first hand how you dont know what youve got til it's gone.
Met one yesterday. Nailed on, dead cert, fact, hard core supporter who will renew regardless. He ain't renewing and he ain't going again. He's nest building, but partner likes the football. He's happy now and just can't face any more crap.
Nicely put Rodney and I totally agree with you. The report is probably utter bollocks in actuality (it is in The People after all) but it is a brilliant fantasy! It is quite obvious that our increasingly tortured fanbase needs something of a lift and this for most would be the perfect tonic, and as Rodney says such a move has it's obvious benefits to all. Sadly as it is in The People it has probably been cobbled together using a fine mix of rumour and conjecture by some sick Palace or Millwall supporting 'journo' who is delighting at twisting the knife a little more in what is quite a trying period for everyone connected with our club.
Home for Curbs is West Ham.
No matter how many more years he spent at Charlton, he has always been West Ham at heart. Now that he's learned that the grass isn't always greener ...

I suspect you are not alone with this one.
if anything it would be director of football as opposed to manager though
this is just old news rehashed I think but what I heard came from someone who knows a few influential people at the club
Ain`t that the truth !

Gives us hope but is highly unlikely.
