Curbishley-Wilkins dreamtime

[S'hampton Seagull]

Wilkins? No chance. Apart from anything else he's only been at Southampton for 5 mins.

 

[grummitts gloves]

So Coppell would come but Curbs wouldn't. I think that's nonsense. With Falmer coming, as you say, it opens out wider possibilities and that must include Curbishley.

Why is it nonsense? If Curbishley wanted to be manager again, surely he would have done it by now, whereas Coppell hasn't been out of the game for very long. Either way I wouldn't complain if either of them got the job.

Sacking Wilkins has proved to be a disaster, he showed his qualities by his achievements that season.

I havn't seen us play but seeing these results as i greet a new day is frustrating and depressing.

I drive past their Marchwood training ground occasionally maybe i can infiltrate and persuade otherwise.

With Knight no longer involved I know that Wilkins would come back if the right offer was made. And as for Curbs, I saw an article recently saying how hadn't managed again as he hadn't seen the right sort of challenge yet. Surely taking on the Albion job at Falmer and engineering our rise with an exciting young coach to mentor would be perfect?

Now that Slade has gone, make it so.

BRING SOME BRIGHTON BACK INTO THE ALBION. CURBISHLEY IS THAT MAN.

Can I point out one fundamental flaw in this potential partnership?

Curbishley and Wilkins don't get on with each other. At least, they didn't three years ago.

Then again, who knows what it's like now?

I'll even name my source on that one - Dean Wilkins.

 

[Jam The Man]

Regardless of Wilkins' obvious immense talents..he wont be returning. Ever wonder why he didn't ever go public with his anger at being sacked?

I didn't like you 3 years ago, so many things can change.

Probably because like many that leave the club they are NOT allowed to say much as to how they REALLY feel

Are you sure about Wilkins coming back?

I thought it was Bloom who wanted him out when he bought Adams back.

How does that work?

 

[bhadeb]

How does that work?

Made to sign shut up clauses? ? ?

Made to...?


You said 'many who leave the club...'. So some do, and some don't?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Made to sign shut up clauses? ? ?

A clause is in a contract. He isn't under contract now he's employed by another club.

Difference is Coppell has managed at this Level twice before at Brentford and Brighton, I dont believe Curbishley has?

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Curbishley Wilkens combo would be superb! All depends on how much influence Tony Bloom had in the original sacking of Wilkins. It would also re-establish the connect between the youth feeder network and the first tems, after all we haven't seen anyone come through the ranks for a season and a bit now have we?

Would prefer Wise to kick some arses and Poyet who is a very good coach.

Maybe, I am just getting older, last season disagreed with most things you said, but this year...........

we are on the same wave length. However Wise without Poyet is another false dawn.
