I would be over the moon Curbs coming back that would be amazing. Not sure parky deserves a demotion but if Curbs came back as manager i would be very chuffed.

I think this was meant to be a a hypathetical question and some how once again you find an objection to it.........is there anything you dont object too
Part of me would dearly love it to happen (it won't though) but in fairness to Phil Parkinson (whose appointment I opposed) despite the bad start he was clearly turning things around at the end of last season, far to late to correct any of Pardew's screw ups but there was a noticeable change and that has been further evidenced by Charlton's good start this season. He has carried his job out with a rare dignity when all around him (myself included) would have prefered anyone but him in the hot seat- and were not slow to say it! He has kept a good spirit in the camp, got off to a great start in League 1- far beyond most of our expectations and in my opinion deserves to remain in the job for the now. Hopefully Saturday was a blip and he can eventually lead us back to the Championship. Leicester's superb start to the season shows that the gap between the Championship and League 1 is nothing in comparison with the gap between the Championship and the Premier League. Whilst Parky doesn't set the pulse racing I believe he is a responsible pair of hands on the tiller and I have to say I am happy for him to remain in charge even of Curbs is out there, that was then this is now.

Now just to be awkward what would you think of either scenario?
Curbs returning as manager as parky being demoted..no. Besides we've just extended parky's contract, why do that if you are going to demote him?
As DoF...I don't think so either, what would Curbs achieve that the current set-up couldn't? Besides which we are operating on a tight budget and I'd rather the money that would be spent on Curb's salary being invested on the playing squad.
i think parky would be within his rights to go and ask for another contract extension as circumstances have changed so quickly and he must be somewhat threatened...the little love.

Parky has accepted anything this club has offered him.
He accepted the manager's job with no rise in salary.
He even put up with being left to twist in the wind during the close season, so long as they continued to pay him.
Keep him employed and he may offer to cut the grass for Paddy.

Years ago the Thames would every year, so much so they would have fates and fares on the ice......
Just in case BFR wanted to dispute this

Maybe it was to forestall Curbs to Return talk?
Me too. But I would be extremely disappointed if he kept Parky as his number 2.
