This is not meant to sound bitter but can anyone tell me what exactly Curbishley has done?
He's never in the ring for lower league jobs, always says he is a Premier League quality manager but I can't remember too many accomplishments. Granted he kept a team like Charlton in the Premier League and grew the club up, no mean feat, but I mean he hardly worked the level of wonders Moyes has done at Everton and his spell at West Ham was not all that impressive.
I know in '06 he was one of the favourites for the England job but that was 5 years ago. As far as I can tell while he was managing West Ham Perrin was winning the French League with Lyon, only one candidate I'd put at 16/1 out of the pair of them...
