AC's cv reads. Took over this club when we were going nowhere. I know and understand the club. Taken the club into the premiership. Kept the club in the premiership. Don't stand for any old bollocks. Had Mervyn Day as 1st team coach.
RD response. Sounds good. But please no Mervyn Day
What if Big Merv changed his name to Mervyn van Day, so sound more like the sort of Low Countries regional league coach that seems to appeal to RD?

Alain Curbisleè and Mervyn van Day. See Roland, they're Belgian.

I imagine David Van Day would have more chance, he's top dollar.
He's very positive about us: “And if you get a decent run, and Charlton only need a couple of wins and they will be threatening the play-off positions again.”
"I look at the Championship and, I’m not being disrespectful, but not many foreign managers have won promotion. I think Roberto Di Matteo did at West Brom a few years back and Jean Tigana at Fulham. I think it’s mainly British managers that have been around it for some time that tend to do well, so maybe chairman should think about that.”
Please stop it, it's just making me feel hopeful and everybody knows it would be completely counter to the way things are being done. Curbs would want guarantees that simply won't be available.
I doubt Murray would want him back, seeing that he ended his contract a year early and paid him for that year too despite Curbs saying that he would see it out or mentor a new manager in.

Di Matteo shouldn't really count as one here in my opinion as his playing / managing career in England spans 1996 -2012. Curbs has a point though, the prospects of winning promotion is heavily weighted in favour of British Managers.
never go back curb's and roly douchebag's salary expectations won't match curb's point about experienced championship managers are usually the ones to achieve promotion is valid - curbs hasn't managed in the championship for a decade and a half
Curbs left because he thought he was to good for us. Reckon he is only keen now because he is desperate. Move on. Who wants to see the bags under his eyes grow to take over his face again.

Did he really think he was too good for us or did he just feel he'd taken us as he could? He did offer to do one more year but Murray said no.
Remember Curbs paid 2.4 mill for Marcus Bent and paid him 23k week before he left ... Remember him falling out with a lot of players including Murphy, Parker, Rommadhal and Dean Kiely...
He did a couple of other things too whilst he was with us if I remember rightly

There was a very good reason to fall out with Murphy and Parker, the same one that made the majority of fans fall out with them.
Plus he fell out with Parker because he stitched us up, Rommedal because he consistently underperformed, Murphy because when we hit a dodgy patch of form and really needed our skipper and highest paid player to step up to the plate Murphy went missing far too often. Seems that now, as then, too many are willing to blame curbs for individual player's failings.

Fergie paid x amount for Djema Djema and fall out with Stam, whats your point?

and you were f**king boring slagging him off for most of that time too Mr Sams.

I remember he consistently finished well away from relegation... On a budget...sold out the Valley week in week out and sold Parker for £10m. Sounds a like a very shrewd operator who M.Duchatelet might appreciate even if only on a consultancy basis to help out in the second year of Staprix ownership.

It didn't help that there was a reasonably sizeable group of numpties who were giving him stick and thought we needed to get someone else in to "take us to the next level". I cannot believe, particularly after the repeated implosions of the last few years, that any geniune Charlton supporter would have anything negative to say about Curbs. So weird!
Rumour from a friend that Matthews is in charge till the end of the season
Not to sure how serious it is but did tell me about vetokele and Henderson
Would be happy with that as long as it didn't mean Luzon or any other Duchatelet reject was lined up for the summer. Give Matthews a chance and if he's good enough, appoint him long-term, if he isn't, let him go back to his role as coach.

Sadly RD won't listen to him....
But Murray knew best.
(By the way, I've always wondered why there's no delete button under one's own post?)

Fingers crossed but can't see it.

Now hopefully RD will back him to make a few signings and secure safety/slyly push for the play offs
