Bristolatic Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 18 minutes ago, deyres42 said: The statement said he'll be working with the current first team staff so don't think we need to worry about that. He'll be left alone and if he does well he'll continue to be left alone. I know what the statement said, but ALMO have a bit of previous being economical with the truth. I hope he does have autonomy, but I'm skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The workings of this club should be well known amongst prospective managers and players by now. Keith Curle must know what he's walking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't harm his reputation any as everyone in football knows about our basketcase owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBlue Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I watched his interview this morning and came away thinking he seems like the solid, experienced manager that we have been desperately needing and that I'll be amazed if he sees out the 2 months. He's the type to call a spade a spade and call a fool a fool and that won't go down well at all. He already said in that interview that all owners think their team should be at the top but it can't always be the fault of the players and manager why they aren't. That kind of on point honesty will see him out of the door quickly if the recent past is anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott2 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Does anyone else think putting him with an assistant manager he has never met is a bit strange? Everything just feels very "short term" with this and feel like he is just babysitting the club for the next 10 weeks or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I was pissed off and got shot down for it as being negative by someone. yes he could extend his stay, we all know he won’t let’s be honest. If we lose games we won’t offer him the job, if he wins games he will get better offers (even in league 2) that he would take over us. If he somehow did stay, he will be kicked out for calling Barry a Twat. It’s all short term, it’s all fucking annoying and quite frankly pathetic.

There is often an upturn in results when a new manager is brought in - but what if it doesn’t happen? It wouldn’t take much for us to be dragged down to bottom three or four. I will be watching the game this evening with more than the usual amount of trepidation ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I’m wrong because he’s the first experienced manager (bar Shez) since Penney “shudders” (Royle doesn’t count) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
