Guest johnson293 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 resigned because he was undermined on transfers as well. From what I read earlier, this may have been becasue they sold McCartney back to Sunlun without his (Curbs) knowledge. And we were laughing at KK possibly walking for the club trying to sell Smith and/or Barton!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Sounds like another with club with a 'long term strategy' aka sell all the good players, spend fuck all, piss off the manager and fans. Great strategies, these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearer9 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The amount of shit Curbishley has gotten is staggering, he singlehandedly kept a tiny club like Charlton in the prem for so many years, soon as he left they went down. Then he produced one of the greatest escapes in recent memory. Bilic may be a step up, but Curbishley is proven prem quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

broony Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Excellent new for us, feel sorry for Hammers fans. Hopefully this will take a bit of the attention off the Keegan \ Ashley discussions and allow things to be worked on with less of a circus surrounding it.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I see what he might be pissed off with about the sales of McCartney and Ferdinand, but to be honest some of his signings have been awful. It's like he specialises in slightly past it injury prone players. Although thinking about it, maybe they weren't his signings after all, that explains everything!

I think he'll be off from Portsmouth this season now that the money looks like it's dried up. If KK goes, I'll have a punt on him to come here.

Elliottman Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Curbishley took over at Upton Park in December 2006, and recorded 28 victories in his 71 matches in charge. Thats a bad record what were the draws and losses? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure but I think his net spend has been limited this summer and there was talk of selling to buy. He'll not like that at all imo. Especially after his heavy spending over the last couple of summers. I'm not sure how clubs like Portsmouth could sustain mega salaries for the likes of Campbell and Diarra to be honest.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 reading KUMB, it seems that he was in an almost identical situation to KK. Although it wasn't down to the fact the WH board failed to deliver the signings, it seems like these chaps Duxbury and Nani were happy to sell players behind Curbishley's back. So we're not the only ones, but of course its going to be us who have our goings on blown out of proportion. Most of them are unhappy with it, although one or two didn't rate him anyway. Unsurprisingly nearly all of them want Bilic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Similar situation to what some say is happening here. Has resulted in the resignation of the manager. Yet without doubt, whatever happens with us will dominate the back pages. The role of people like Nani and the board at West Ham won't be heavily scrutinised (despite their obvious failings in the market), unlike their supposed counterparts at NUFC.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The amount of s*** Curbishley has gotten is staggering, he singlehandedly kept a tiny club like Charlton in the prem for so many years, soon as he left they went down. Then he produced one of the greatest escapes in recent memory. Bilic may be a step up, but Curbishley is proven prem quality. I think Curbishley is within the top five of active managers of English descent. I just don't understand what exactly he's done wrong to receive all the stick he gets. He saved them from certain relegation, and then led them straight into mid table mediocrity. That is progress. Maybe they don't agree with his transfer, but he has still improved the team. I think, under Curbishley, West Ham would be around 10-12th again...but now they might be in for a season not unlike what Nwwcastle experienced last year in my opinion.

PRL Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think that Keegan and Ashley decided they needed to generate a warchest for next transfer window and heard Curbs could be on his way out. Few well placed rumours, Keegan surefire to leave, lay a load of cash on Betfair, Curbishley out as far as 30 or 40 - 1, stick down a million of fat mike's wad and there we go, tens of millions for Keegan to spend in Jan, at no cost to the club, whilst any loyal fans keeping faith and betting for the club were rewarded too. Win win. Case closed, lock the Keegan still manager thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
