curbishley to take over

[Fernhurst]

Rene has proved to be a bit naive but I would like to see him at our club for a long time. Going to Curbishly would be like handing the reins back to Jol.

Rene knows what needs to be done.

I don't know why we didn't just get Guus Hiddink and pay him what we are paying Rene, Curbishley and Wilkins.  He would have done better than all three of these muppets.  Fancy putting out that lineup yesterday.  We bring in Holtby who has publicly said he hates playing out wide and so where do we play him? And we leave all our wingers out of the squad.   You just couldn't script it.

And why is everyone so anti-Wilkins? I don't get it, sorry.

Do you remember him from his last contract at Fulham?  If you did you would understand.

If you are asking do I remember him in the way it seems that you remember him, then the answer is no.   What is it that you don't like about him?  I was still at school during that season and so didn't go to many games, therefore that might be a reason why I didn't form a negative opinion of football under him.

Regardless, that was almost 16 years ago.

The transfer window surely was the last throw of the dice. We need to integrate and organise the new players and see if we can go on a successful run. The last thing we need is more change.

In common with just about everyone else I expect us to go down but you never know. The management situation then gets assessed in the summer.

My hunch is that given time Rene will be a big success. Hodgson's great escape was lauded but that was 4 wins from the last 5 games including a late Murphy header and escape by a point. In every other alternative universe Hodgson's team was relegated.

Rene, not to mention the new signings, not to mention those feeding in from our development squads, need time to gel.

Unfortunately time is one thing we are running out of.

I just hope Khan is the patient type, as giving Rene the boot and replacing him with Curbs or Wilks isn't the answer...

[JBH]

rumour has it curbishley to take over from rene he has been taking training sessions and looks to be taking over as rene has lost 8 out of 10 games.thats us gone then

Knob alert!

[Burt]

No YOU are wrong  markymark  said it is going to be Malky

markymark? a bit tired so sorry if I missed something obvious here :S

Look at the threads on this page and it will all become clear. Rene is going nowhere. We have just signed two United players so Rene will stay. What stupid things happen in and around him I have no idea.

I will try again tomorrow I think, so tired I allways fell asleep looking at this thread with laptop on my lap, been a hard day and day beside the match. Good night!

Spot on.

Further change in management personnel would only be counter-productive.

Rene was brought in to support Jol, there was a lobby to give him the job, Jol was sacked and Rene got the job, performances improved, support was brought in, there were moans about the appointments of Curbs and Wilkins, then there were moans that they had affected Rene's style of play, Rene was given support to brng in some good new players including our record signing - whom we havn't even seen yet,  now there are those on this board who support the ridiculous press speculation that Rene should go and be replaced with those who were moaned about just a few weeks ago! What good on earth would that do?

We must integrate the new players as a priority and see where that takes us in terms of performance and points. If we get a couple of wins who knows? In terms of players recruitment we've made the last throw of the dice and will stand or fall by what we have. To change management direction again, in this position, would be lunacy in my view.

I do believe that we can turn the corner and go on a good run but whether that will be enough is the question.

I personally believe Curbishley took that job with a view to becoming manager at some point.  Sooner or later, he'll be our manager.

[Bedford White]

Just another made up story from a comic of a newspaper, lazy journalism. TBH when was the last time you read anything positive about FFC in the press?

Most of the time we're treated with ambivalent disdain. The hacks only write about us when they're reinforcing the generally held perception that if your not one of the top five clubs, if your not competing for the top five places, or not spending £100m or £200m a year on players a season your a no mark.

No one likes, do we care?

I can see that he would have considered that scenario and I can see it if either: a) we go down and Rene doesn't wish to stay or b) Rene is a success and moves on to better things. I think it's Rene- deopendent rather than Curbishley-dependent.

It's just as possible that he wanted to be involved again but without the 24/7 stress of being manager. We can't know.

I would only accept Curbishly as manager if he stayed in the office & only dealt with the day to day admin . I would not have him interfering with team selection or coaching. Rene & Kit are more than capable of doing it between them.Kit knows our youngsters & is better suited to bringing them through. Wilkins is not required as he may talk the talk but doesn´t walk the walk.

[Berserker]

How long have we got Wilkins for?

[JackyFulham90]

How about get rid of Wilkins & put Curbishley in the dugout to help Rene?

[west kowloon white]

After yesterday ,this is all getting too depressing...how about the pub at midday.
Palace and WBA will doubtless pick up surprise points today.

[alfie]

just a question by why is wilkins being blamed for completely inept defending by our so called experienced players, Reither spent so much time up the pitch thinking he was a mid field player, Hangeland was plain poor, Burn is young and learning and again Richardson did not have much protection in front of him.

[Macedo]

The Currant Bun as well as the Mirror saying Curbishley is being made manager
Got to be true then.. :005: :012:

[K33NY]

.... although its rumors... nothing would shock me at all these days, it wouldnt even shock me if someone even wrote Jol was reappointed as manager.....
