  • Curbs didn't sign Ashton... Pardew did.

    and its pretty revisionist to blame the FA for the Kia affair. or even even BG. least be calling it illegal. That was blood on Terry Brown's hands.

    as for Curbs. if it was his dream job, then maybe he should have realized the West Ham does not play boring football, nor long ball.

    whatever he's gone and soon forgotten. Kevin Keen's Blarmy Army.
  • Well said Paul. Both Newcastle and West Ham put Keegan and Curbishley into impossible positions. Ashley is going to get crucified for this one.

    Cheers,

  • I have a bit less sympathy for Curbishly if the issue was the they wouldn't let him spend, spend, spend in the transfer market.

    Ljungberg, Dyer, Parker, Bellamy and Faubert

    Not exactly a roll-call that makes the owner say "here, have another go"
  • Yer, and just remember that Curbishley was also in to buy Joey Barton as well..............

    However, the people in charge of the club took the worst route possible and sold players without telling him. What they should have done was said "Come on Alan. We've had a disastrous time with people like Ljunberg and there has to be a downside to that. That means we have to sell a couple of players. You see how it is?" It seems as though many people in charge of these clubs can't even say that to their managers.
