BJBlue Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Stick. He's the best manager we've had in a a while (not saying much I know) and we need as much stability as we can get. I'm under no illusions about his longevity in the job. If they give him a 12 month contract I would be amazed if he made it 6 months through. Even if we are doing well something will likely happen off the pitch and he'll be gone. We can't affect what the owners do in that regard, we have to just support their good choices like Curle looks to be and protest their many bad ones.

Guy Branston Pickle Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Stick, definitely. Results and performances for the most part have been positive under him, and I don't see how we're going to attract a better manager than him. Can't help but think he'll have to start with a blank canvas once again this summer mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_bro Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 It's not stick or twist though is it. It seems to be KC's decision to make. He will want total control of recruitment and no interference. He will have spoken to ex managers, but will make his own mind up. If ALMO start to interfere like they did with Scholes, which I don't think they can resist, he will be off. I hope they have come to the conclusion that what they have been doing hasn't worked and a change of tack is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 11 contracted so far. You can only really see McAleny and Bambam attracting any interest - so that leaves 9+. Not saying they're all great mind!

Stainrod Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That’s due the majority of players he has to deal with. He’s probably giving Garrity, Hilsner and the like the chance to play for their futures elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them are particularly brilliant but I'd be happy to keep the majority of these players as squad players at the very least, so long as we can add some quality along side them (big ask, tbf). Hanging on to the aforementioned two would be massive. This is such a poor division, get a well balanced squad and a decent coach and you've got a chance. As Morecambe, Cheltenham and Cambridge amongst others have shown this season Edit: also I'm not gonna judge him on an end of season dead rubber against a side still with a slim chance of staying up.

If he doesn’t (as is likely) I’m starting to think he’ll walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I think its less on how much of a say Curle has on the recruitment more on if the players brought in are good enough and fit the style of play the manager wants to play. If the sporting director/Director of Football is astute and has a coherent plan I reckon most Managers will happily delegate that task to them. Ours clearly doesn't and looking at the players having their contracts renewed no lesson's are being learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott2 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Would give him a 2 year deal based on his post match interview. Would sack him based on the debacle between 3 and 5pm on Saturday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I'd stick defo with Curle and give him a chance next season.

If Curle doesn’t stay then it’s the final confirmation that the fuck wit twins will not change and we could have Jose Mourinho with Alex Ferguson as assistant and it would make fuck all difference For me, this is the litmus test - Curle won’t be a lap dog so if he stays it suggests they have listened if not - we are in for the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT. It’s a very grey area. I’d imagine they’ve said they’ll listen to his opinion, or he can have an input. Which in reality means nothing. Curle isn’t stupid, he knows our track record and I think having worked with Mo there’s a high chance he’ll leave. ALMO will then claim ‘they’ve done everything they can to keep him’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their run of form before he was sacked they had a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly a slap in the face for whoever decided on recent contract extensions “Having a contract for next season doesn’t guarantee you playing,” the Latics boss said.
