tmonkey Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hector Cuper. Proven CV of building CL sides as well as keeping a near-certain relegated side up. Knows the Italian, Spanish, and South American markets well, unlike our current and previous managers, one of whom used pre-season friendlies to scout world famous footballers, the other who had to ask his mates whether a player was any good whilst negotiating a contract. Unfortunately, hes foreign. And a surefire way to make sure you go down Pack in playing Champ Manager Thank you for that life changing advice. Incase you havent understood where im coming from, in my eyes hes a manager who has consistently built his sides from the back, making them solid and difficult to beat, someone interested in managing in the Premiership, available, and hed most likely know a few South American players going around for cheap come next Jan when were strapped for cash and struggling to attract players. Now please explain why appointing Cuper would be a "surefire" way to take us down, and also why me having the opinion that hes a decent and underrated manager is somehow related to a computer game? Or are you going to stick to the one line "factual" retorts followed by a uniquely original and witty comment that only someone of your intellect can come up with?

Wilky Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 For what it is worth I think Curbishley could do for us what Martin O'Neil has done at Villa. Curbishley has proven himself as a capable manager with Charlton I would love to compare his record against Alardyce who most on here have streets ahead of Curbs. I doubt there is much in it, and Charlton are a smaller club than Bolton. Curbs took Charlton as far as he could, he needs a club like Newcastle to show what he can do and we have the opportunity of getting him for nowt. This isn't a Roeder short term solution, this would be an intelligent move from the board with little to lose compared to the current circumstance. My only worry is that if we don't take this opportunity and another premier league club gets rid of their boss and appoints Curbishley, then we really will be scratching around for a suitable manager.

LooneyToonArmy Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 MIKE ASHLEY WANTS ALAN CURBISHLEY (NOTW mind) ALAN CURBISHLEY is being lined up to become Newcastle boss. Toon owner Mike Ashley is trying to sell the club but he is making contingency plans should a quick sale not materialise. Curbishley has been sounded out and, despite the chaos that surrounds the club, he would be willing to move up to the North East. Alan Shearer remains in charge of team matters but the situation is becoming increasingly complicated as his relationship with Ashley has become so strained. Seymour Pierce, the brokers handling the sale, have received a formal bid from an international consortium with no links to the North East. The American group tabled a bid of around £100million on Friday after Barclays did the paperwork on a working overdraft of £25m to ensure the club can keep going in the short-term. "A deal is nearly done, it's very close," said a source. "It could be announced as early as Tuesday or Wednesday next week." Ashley believes he can get a better deal if Newcastle have a manager in place for the massive rebuilding job needed to help the club secure immediate promotion. And Curbishley, 51, was the master of that type of management in 16 years at Charlton. He turned them from a club who did not even have a ground into a consistent Premier League force. And since he left they have slid down into League Two. Curbs also steered West Ham away from relegation but, after a mid-table finish, he fell out with the fans and the board and left Upton Park last September, claiming constructive dismissal.

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Can you actually imagine if this happened man. You couldn't make it up. Manager leaves because he's undermined. (Keegan) Replaced temporarily by a man who loves the club. (Shearer) Shearer undermined by Ashley and replaced with a manager who left his last club for being undermined. (Curbishley) It cant happen, its beyond even our levels ridiculousness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Wouldnt be overly pissed off, but I would feel fucked off for Shearer. Ashley would only make the fans hate him more with this, but at the same time id trust Curbishley to do a job in the CCC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think Curbs would do a great job for us, certainly a safer bet than Shearer experience wise, however he would still have Shearer waiting in the wings, a few bad results in a row and the mongs would be on his back. That said its more than likely a load of tripe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errr Yes really I am 100% convinced Shearer will go on to be an outstanding manager. We will be extremely lucky to have him. Curbishley is another Mr Average who has shown to be a ANOTHER good manager of small clubs (see coppell, allardyce). He had a biggish job at West Ham and couldnt hack it. He is no more qualified to run NUFC than Shearer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 You can't be 100% certain of anything. Shearer could be a good manager or a bad manager, we don't know yet. His limited experience so far wasn't exactly inspiring. I think Shearer could get us promoted, but if i was asked who was more likely to fuck it up out of Shearer and Curbishley, it would be Shearer.

I'm not convinced about this Curbishley story, but I would like us to get away from this Shearer-or-nothing mentality. We're getting back into this ruinous situation of one man being bigger than the club. Curbishley has a good record as a manager, there's no question about that. The only thing that worries me about him is he's not Keegan or Shearer and therefore wouldn't be cut any slack by the fans when we were struggling.

Guest Milburnthedog Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Shearer has enough 'presence' to be able to make us a lot more professional, stable and ensure succession planning is done (what odds Lee Clark, or similar, is made Assistant Manager). Curbs would do ok then leave us in a similar position as we were in 3 seasons ago. No one coming through and us in the Management 'merry go round'. This has got to stop and the fans have to give the Manager time. I know this is completely alien to us but it really has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to harp back to an overused analogy, but Ferguson was only a few games from the sack before he brought it together at Manyoo. Patience is not a word in Premiership football anymore but Shearer is our best bet at keeping some length of patience. It could take a few years of midtable obscurity before we get the perfect blend of youth and experience and a group of players that 'click', he's our best chance of stability.

TRon Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Curbishley's teams play good football but he was assembling a collection of crocks by the end at West Ham. I'm also not convinced he could handle the pressure of coming to a place like Newcastle and being perceived as robbing Shearer of his rightful job.

Offshore Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Curbishley walked before he was booted out, he'd lost the fans and the team was doing nothing for him. Can see Curbishley being a prime choice of Ashley's if he can't sell the club before the start of the season and he still can't work out the problems with Shearer.

Skirge Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Much rather have Strachan than Curbs, but no manager's in the Curbs & Strachan bracket are going to come to a club that is up for sale, why would they? Shearer is the only one that Ashley could apoint that a new owner would think about keeping. Its sad really as Al is no manager yet and both Curbs and Strachan are proven managers. Even sadder that we started the season with a promation specialist and had he stayed we would not have gone down anyway, or had they not taken him on and we had gone down he would have been there to come and take us back up.

Guest Phil K Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Curbs is no worse than Big Al, do a decent job in the dead zone (Chumpionship) but long term ? Nah. Same applies to Strachan. Apparently a sh*tbag of a person too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest westamfan Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 West Ham fans didn't take to his style of football which was a lot like you guys with Fat Sam I guess. His transfers were pretty bad too. Personally I never really accepted him because he thought Harewood, Teddy and Zamora were all better than Carlos Tevez, while Quashie was a better option to Mark Noble and Javier Mascherano. While we were in danger of relegation he went into matches aiming for 0-0's, even at home, there was no passion or urgency. Overall, yeah he should fit in nicely at Newcastle next season grinding out a 0-0 draw against Sheffield Wednesday away with a team of hardworking average players. He's better than Shearer.
