I would love to see him back but would anyone want to see him put up with the shit from upstairs the man's a legend but wouldn't last the season with this bellend running the show
Possibly the only thing that could make this situation worse...
Curbs comes back, we lose his first game 3-0 and in the post-match interview, he talks about how well we played in the first 10 minutes, how the squad is plenty strong enough and team morale is so good right now.
I don't know why everyone keeps saying bring curbs back? He was good for us before yes, but he was working under a regime that he could trust and vice verser, he was giving full control of the team and staff around him (a manager) plus he was with us for years and was in a routine. He was given every chance to succeed and all the support and backing he asked for.
Now he hasn't coached in years, he wouldn't work well under this regime because they wouldn't make him manager, he wouldn't get any say, he can't chop and change the squad and make his own buys, he wouldn't be allowed to bring in his own coaching team it would be a shambles.
Not only would curbs not take the job if offered to him he would be crazy to. There is no way he would succeed at Charlton now and he would lose his hero status.

The problem is that many of these arguments could be applied to any candidate with appropriate experience. RD overpromotes people - Meire, obviously - in order to ensure their total obedience, with the consequence they are not up to the job.

Yes entirely agree with you but when a manger (head coach) is bought in and fails it affects their portfolio and popularity I wouldn't wish that on curbs some random we have no loyalty towards is different.
I always though that Belgium were a democratic country, then why have we an owner from Belgium running the club as a dictatorship with his small band of Politburo 'lackies'? As much as I would love to see Curbs back or another UK manager, no-one will work under the above conditions and be successful......sadly.
Why do you want a manger that has not had a job for years? I for one would not want him back.
This 100% , the man has only managed two clubs and not been able to get a managers job in the past 7-8 years. Would come back to us now and work under RD regime because no other club wants him.
The only way Curbs would be back at Charlton is as joint owner, maybe with Varney, heading up a consortium. That would do me.
Come on Varney, you know the money men, make a move.
Varney is busy trying to get ebbsfleet out of the conference south and curbs is happy taking a pay cheque at Fulham. They would both be crazy to come back to charlton under Roland

Yeah he bought us slater and jiminez, that worked out well.
Yeah we ended up with a manager liked by most of the fans, a team of players that died for the cause, and promotion from League One...
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't a great fan of the Slater/Jiminez double act, they made some very poor decisions behind the scenes, but sometimes there's a case for better the devil you know.

Going back to a different era and expecting miracles wouldn't work for AC or the club, much as we hope it would. And why would he come back? Everything to lose with almost no chance of success given what he would have to work with (on and off the pitch)

We may as well get Andy Nelson back as well

The definition of hell.
Because he a really good manager. Because he has done better than every manager since, put together.
