My son just said something very interesting to me over dinner - and something which had not occured to me, because I had ruled the name out and the analogy had not occured to me.
What he said was simply this : ''If Dalglish can go back to Liverpool, Dad, why can't Curbishley come back to Charlton?''
I suggested this a few days ago in another thread. It makes perfect sense, put him on a big bonus if he gets us up. It could be a win win situation. Gets him back into the spotlight and would really give the club a big boost and a realistic chance of promotion.

Don't see it. Assuming Curbs overriding ambition is still to manage in the Prem, winning promotion in League 1 adds virtually nothing to his employability. Failing to gain promotion would seriously damage his chances of getting another shot in the Prem, so I'd say it's more of a lose-lose for him.
The only job I can realistically see him getting in the Prem might be Aston Villa but even that would be a long-shot. He might not have done himself any favours taking legal action against West Ham in the eyes of Chairman around the country and I also don't think too many fans apart from us would see him as the manager they'd want to turn a losing club around. He's perceived as a bit boring I think. He also hasn't appeared to have been in the running for many Championship clubs QPR, Ipswich to name a couple.
As said earlier if Dalglish can go back why not Curbs, can't see it happening though, he might have too much pride to drop down to League 1 and not sure our new "owners" are gonna like someone as powerful around the club as he would be. I'd love it to happen though.

Considering he has just been rejected by Ipswich, I wouldn't be surprised if he starting to realise that he isn't going to walk into a job in the Premiership. If he wants to get back into management it will have to be at a lower league club and I can't think of a better fit than us. Unfortunately I think he has been tainted by the compensation claim against the Hammers. We could help him and he could certainly help us.

sorry weegie i had fat fingers

That's a new take on my username, btw... ;-)
Just thinking he must be right pee'd off not even to be considered for Ipswich.

Now the takeover threads are defunct we can multiple "Who's the next manager going to be threads".

I think you'll find it's nearly a week. Clearly time doesn't fly in Hull. ;-)
