alanmidd 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/default.stm Bit of a shock. They weren't playing well but he was backed by the new owners only last week Curbishley for new manager???? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leppardized2001 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Think it was on the cards though to be honest. Got trounced at the weekend and they've been on a bad run of late and the new owners are obviously wanting to protect their investment by maintaining their Premiership status, something they felt was under threat while Pardew remained in charge. Curbishley is the 2-1 favourite with the bookies but despite his proven record at Charlton I just got feeling that the new owners will be after a 'big' name. Really need someone who can get the best out of their two Argentinian as they could be a major asset to them if they started playing well.

Gazza_8 233 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Shockerooni!!! Results were piss poor but I thought he'd be given a wee bit more time. Is this Magnusson bloke another Romanov? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 850 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I could see it coming but thought he would have another few games. They have been poor for weeks now and it was getting a bigger hole for him to get out so the board have acted now. Personally id of kept him on a bit longer because he deserved the chance after 2 great previous seasons. Curbishly is the favourite but I have a sneaky feeling it wont be him either. Id take him miles ahead of the list the BBC have listed - Eriksson, O'Leary, Hoddle and Dowie! George Graham is also on the list and id take him. I just hope McLeish isnt linked either because he was linked there when he was at Hibs. But my first choice has to be Venebles. Rumours is he is not happy at No.2 with England. But Vurbs would be nicely. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
