not forgetting that murray wouldn't pay up to sign tim cahill ..... tried to bluff him thinking he wouldn't move up north ....wrong
thought Cahill's missus made him move up north to get away from some bird down The Den he was giving a regular seeing- to (allegedly)
Hadn't heard about that Large....but there 'was' something that happened with his somewhat errant (for want of a better word) brother outside a Bromley mini cab office with a local villain.......I'll say no more other than Tim Cahill was getting flack from all directions re this. His brother ended up inside I believe and things got a bit hairy in this part of the world for the Cahills....possibly the 'two things' added together(young family and all that), made him look further afield but as I say I had/have no knowledge of what you're suggesting.
I think you've got your info confused here.
I was friends with a girl who was dating the brother so met him a few times. Tim has already got Everton by this point and my understanding was he had "had his way" with a girl and was forced to move north for fear of recriminations from said girls boyfriend. The incidents with his brother which included him ending up inside were later.
Don't know how anyone can suggest that Dowie would have kept us up. We were comfortably in the relegation zone when he left. I dread to think what he'd have done in the January transfer window if he'd been given any money to spend. Difficult to top spending £4m on Faye and Traore, but I'm sure he'd have found a way.

That's my undestanding of it anyway.
I'm as certain as I can be that the incident itself took place just about the time that negotiations were underway with us and 'before' he signed for Everton.....the court case etc etc was of course a fair while after he joined them.
funny thing is Charlton fans are always slagged off for saying Curbs had taken us as far as he could but Merv sad that was the exact reason he quit because he felt without the money for the players he wanted he'd got us as far as he could.
Obviously the only weird thing was that he was refused that cash yet £11m was spent by Dowie

Murphy had left, Smertin had gone back to Russia, Spector had gone back.
We were left with an aging, poor squad.
11m that Dowie spent wouldn't have bought us a new 'quality' squad that we needed.
Curbs must have had an inkling that the 2006/07 season was going to be very tough.
*rolls eyes and wonders why he opened this thread*
they couldnt smell the roses

As for Bullard and Sidwell, they would have been poor signings in my view.
