Sack the Manager?

[ozzjim]

Curbishley is the only other one who might come in at short notice and get a few results, and knows Bent from Charlton days maybe?

He was one of the few other realistic options I came up with, but he's been out of the game for what, 2-3 years? Will it be asking too much for him to come in and hit the ground running after so long out?

Curbishley? God no.

It's too late. We're stuck with him, for good or ill.

  i feel sick

Curbishley!!?? christ, how desperate are we? Lets give Phil Brown a call while we at it, or gordon strachan.............

[cdbearsfan]

I think we'll find out one way or the other tomorrow. I reckon he'll stay. If we can somehow stay up, it's better he stays and allows us to have our pick of managers in summer. It's a big 'if' though.

Curbishley? God no.

The thought has made me feel even sicker

That's my thinking as apart from Allardyce I can't see what other viable options we have.

Fuck me, what a shite time this is.

coventry on a friday night anyone?

[cdbearsfan]

I doubt the police would want that game on a Friday.

I have absolutely no doubt he will stay. And unless we go down he will be here next season (and even if we do he might be still around). I believe that Randy believes he can change the club for the better long term. Better use of young players, better signings, reduce the wage bill, and so on. I think that at the top of Villa Towers they are probably allowing more emphasis on the issues around the attitude of players, injuries and so on. Get through that lot, survive the season and then let GH have a real go at it.

I do not know Randy, I might be completely wrong, but I feel that is the attitude. I also do not know if GH can get a team working for him. What is obvious is that if we stay up, and GH is around we are going to have the mother of all transfer windows this summer. Ashley will probably go to someone in Red, all the bad apples will go and who knows who else (Big & Little Brad, Gabby, Heskey- all real possibilities). The only one I am sure about is GH. He will be here.

I took my girlfriend to the game on Saturday (43 bloody pounds incl. booking fee- bargain!) and she is from Coventry. She innocently said to me, with about 20 minutes to go... 'well at least you'll be able to see them in Coventry next season'. I could of cried.

That's what I think too.

[Greg N'Ash]

I do hope randy holds his nerve, he could be wrong, as could I, but if we can just survive, and get the crap and discontents out this summer, then we can finally look forward with a bit of hope. Still, he must want to cry when he thinks of the money he wasted on MON's promised bright new world. 100m and 5 years and we're not much better off than the weekend DOL left.
