I tend to agree with Darton Red - Robins is a huge gamble and Curbishley would be far less of a gamble. I hope Robins does really well but would be disappointed if we had the chance to go for Curbishley and didn't even try...
So you did the accounts for West Ham eh - do you know everyones salary then - we could get a 16yr old for £5 an hour, that would save money - Robins will be £6
Curbs WOULD not go to us. If Curbishley was to manage a club in the championship it'll be a team aiming for the Premiership!</p> I'm sorry to say this but we are a small Championship club and cannnot afford nor even encourage someone like Curbishley join us, unless we are taken over by a millionaire and offer him £20m in transfer funds and 5m a year.</p> </p>
How do you work out that Curbs is less of gamble? All managerial appointments are a gamble, and Curbs will be on 5x what Robins is, so take that into account and PC might think that Curbs is just too big a gamble. If it doesn't work out, and there is a 50% chance it won't work out (it either does or doesn't), then there is a massive salary to pay. Easy to spend PC's money for him. I am not sure what Curbs is on but i reckon he will be wanting 750k-1m. He will have been earning more than that at West Ham, and at Charlton once they were established in the PL. I bet our budget is nearer 250k, maybe not even that. So our gamble has to be on somebody who fits our budget. I would love Curbs but realistically it just isn't going to happen.
PMSL!!!! You come on here shouting ya mouth off, then suggest we get Curbs!! Proper fking hell fire! (blagger) </p> Yes, I wanted Curbs too but there aint a chance in hell he would come to us. U may as well have just asked for Mourinho because it's just as likely. </p>
Who's the man with no credible experience? I thought it was mark robins that we wanted, the bloke who turned a -17 points start into a promotion push last season without spending any money. The bloke who managed to turn a club in freefall, in admin and without a ground into a top half finishing club prior to that.
FFS, he hasnt even got the job yet and some people are slating him. I bet the people slagging him off are the same people slating Wilson when he first took over from Anderson. I can still hear them now "Come and sit up here Wilson you're fecking ****. **** off you dee dar Barsteward". If he gets the job lets get behind him and give him full 100% no ties, no ifs no buts support. He deserves it.
