Loved how he referred to us always as WE! Plus you could tell how he felt about the tactics and the subs the same as the majority of the Postmatch thread. Alan is Charlton, could he? Would he? Long time out the game but still comes across as knowing what is needed, just like back in the day....

Eddie Howe is the only other manager I would want.
If people think that is over ambitious then I disagree. I think TS could persuade him, and he would relish the challenge. Ultimately it often boils down to the salary.

role one. Explain to bowyer the disadvantages off 4 full backs
Advise Bowyer, watch the game from the stand and comment as it unfolds. Even Harry Redknapp had Jim Smith as his number 2, your never too old to learn. Lennie Lawrence has done this role at a number of clubs.
Hilarious to see people wanting him to replace Bowyer!
All that said Lee Bowyer does need to learn how to finish a game. These late goals have happened far too often now.
a god is a god
As recently as last week, Bradford City parted company, yet again(4th time as manager) with their club legend McCall, following a run of SIX straight defeats.
Let Curbs stay one of our greats and lets see how Lee does over the next 15 years to see if there is any parity.
He's part of the group?
Wouldn't have been a problem though. They respected him as he was probably someone that would get under their skin but for the right reasons.
Do your job or f*CK off...I think was one of his general standard tactical messages!
Bowyer is a good few years away from being able to tie Curbs laces as a manager .
Though Curbs loved a player who was capable of playing in 2 different positions.
Kish came to Charlton as a fullback, full of running, hardworking, and could tackle. But he lacked a bit of pace for the Prem.
Curbs needed a midfield enforcer who would stop opponents playing through us, press, win the ball and give it, providing that platform for those with creative ability to do their thing. Kish did the job well with gusto if not finesse.
Konchesky was always positionally suspect, but had a good engine, could tackle and cross, cover and track back to allow Chris Powell to overlap.
The 2 worked well in tandem, both defensively and overloading the opposing full back.
The team unit was the thing ....... Curbs ethic was to create a team greater than it's sum of parts.
And if something wasn't working, he'd always say he was "going back to basics."
