The latest rumour - Alan Curbishley

i'd like to see David Pleat being offered the job, he makes some good observations in the article below that irish football should take on board.

In case there was any confusion I was not suggesting these candidates as suitable, just more probable. I highly doubt that a man who was a short time ago a candidate for the England job and a successful manager in the Premiership would now slum it by becoming a consultant to Stan who is rapidly losing any credibilty ne created during his playing days.

Here is a quote from Stan on the Cyprus gae:

"Stephen Ireland played well on Saturday, Kevin Kilbane played well on Saturday. Unfortunately the back four didn't play well. I'm not blaming the midfield. I'm not blaming anyone, but if your back four don't play well you're not going to win games."

I'm not saying the back 4 played well, but we didn't have a midfield on Sat Stan so I suppose you couldn't blame the midfield? I think I see your logic. :rolleyes:

No smoke without fire. Perhaps he was sounded out pending heavy defeat by the Czechs.

Still seems implausible though!

i doubt Curbishely would take it, looking at the bottom of the Premiership a lot of managers are waiting to get the boot and he would hope to hop into a vacant seat anytime soon.......maybe he would go for west ham
