If only it had been decided in January 2006 that Curbs would leave then it would have left longer.
ID had commited a gross act of misconduct. Several acts of gross misconduct.
At the time looking at how ID had taken palarse from relegation dogfighters to play-off winners in the same season or any team for that matter seemed quite attractive at the time. But I had my niggling doubts.

He did then get them relegated too!
True but had them in the play-offs again. Oh I don't know.
I've always wondered what if Curbs had seen out his contract? Why did Murray think that would not be ideal? It might have affected the recruitment process that summer in a slightly negative way but we would have probably had a smooth transition. Or maybe Curbs would have changed his mind by the end of the season. The most recent example I can think of is Sam Allardyce - he was in the last year of his contract with West Ham last season yet he managed to sign a few players like Aaron Cresswell who turned out to be a very good signing. They had an okayish season and now have moved on to become an even better side.

What gross misconducts did he commit? People have said this but never said explicitly. Always felt that smacked of "I know something you don't know nurr" at the time
So do I, but can you imagine the moaning about another "boring manager?" It wouldn't have mattered to the moaners that the club was about to miss out on a massive hike in SKY income.
At the time, Iain Dowie did look as though he was a hungry young manager with a little bit about him but in hindsight there were too many changes to personnel. Plus Darren Bent spending a big chunk of the season injured, sealed our fate.
The best bit was people honestly thought curbs had taken us as far as he could,
Not that this was why he left but it's insane to think that if curbs never left that year we more than likely would not be where we are now, And Rd probably wouldn't own us
In autumn 2003 I casually ran our club call 12,11,46 and there was talk of Curbs having problems and Dowie then at Oldham was linked with us. Some nearly 3 years before he did come in.
Sign Dowie to piss off Jordan, give him the war chest, then replace him with Les fucking Reed. That period is what got us relegated.
Thanks for ruining our football club with your out of control ego, Richard. Nine years later and you still show no humility. Thank god people are starting to see you for what you really are.

Shit sacking
Shit Murray
Wish we'd appointed someone like Hodgson instead.

The sacking wasn't the real crime though, the appointment was. Wrong man for the wrong club at the wrong time.
Nothing will ever convince me the whole point of the appointment was to get one over on Jordan.
9 years later and we're still shit.

And he's still here like a bad smell.
