It feels like pretty much any management speak that I've ever heard over the last 15 years. Let's face it, he won't be judged on his post-match interviews, if we're winning games or accomplishing long term goals, nobody really cares.

If we stay up and we have a realistic chance at the moment, Curle will have performed a minor miracle.

I don’t buy that, in all probability the likes of Accrington, Rochdale, Crewe and Wimbledon all have smaller budgets than us. Wigan are in a complete financial mess. Then you have a whole bunch of teams including Gillingham, Burton, Bristol Rovers etc. who have budgets around ours, maybe higher, maybe lower. So for us to finish 5th bottom say we wouldn’t be over achieving, more likely slightly underachieving in terms of budget.

Im not sure why our budget is so 'poor' as many claim , we have the same covid constraints to deal with as every other club, yet we made a few quid from TV games and the sale of Goode last season whilst also getting shot of other alleged high waged players.

it’s what i dislike about Curle more than anything .
He talks utter tripe and dresses it up to be intellectual and part of a Grand Plan. He spouts pseudo rubbish that no one buys into . The man is a fraud and wings it .

But we knew that even before he came here, remember the sh*te he came out with after we spanked Carlisle 4-1 at their place under Wilder. He does like to come out with stuff that sounds like he's a tactical genius, when some of his tactics would get him sacked in Sunday Leagues.
     He comes from a long line of stubborn managers who will never admit "they got it wrong" with anything, the only 2 I can remember in the past were Sammo  and Wilder who would say anything like the truth if we put in a poor performance

he hides behind management speak when he has no answers because he has winged it . He is old school and full of hot air .
If he is that forward thinking why are his training methods and tactics from 1994 ?

The difference between Lampard and Curle is the sheer diversity of their respective transfer budgets. If we stay up and we have a realistic chance at the moment, Curle will have performed a minor miracle. His interviews arent of a high standard but then again he is not a professional speaker.

At last a touch of realism. It appears we have some highly qualified speakers or experts on Football tactics/training etc etc

Maybe we could have a seperate thread for Curle bashing...?

Wondering if ntfclad has heard anything more along on the grapevine

If we're going to get another loan in then would expect Mitchell to be made permanent

All of the names previously linked have ended up signing so wonder who Curles still targeting?

Ohh please.

If the mods are interested I could replace a few posters with some basic coding to automate their behaviors.

for example

If 'undisclosed fee' is mentioned pick one of the following at random and post :
  • Clueless Curle
  • KT has no ambition
  • Look at clubs like peteborough

The difference between KC and Lampard is that KC has a promotion on his management cv, Lampard has'nt.

To be honest, if you listen to the pre/post match interviews of the majority of club managers, they all spout exactly the same, especially when it's not going well. 
Listen to Chris Wilder now, he says almost the same thing at the end of each game, especially when they have lost again. (apart from last night obviously)
There is almost no difference, it fills the media space!!  Wink

Another difference, Curle has been a manager for 18 years, Lampard 18 months !  Smiley

This I like, you may have the beginnings of a robust business plan there, imagine the possibilities.

Carton - correction, Lampard was only manager at Chelsea for 18 months but you forget that he was at Derby before that. I'm always bemused that so called great players who want to be managers seem to walk into a job at championship level instead of having to start in the lower leagues.
Because someboby was a great manager it does not follow that they will be a great manager, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore and Sol Campbell all tried management without success.
We have a long list of former top flight players who have failed in management here, Toni Marchi, Ron Flowers, Bill Baxter, Paddy Crerand Justin Edingburgh and JFH to name a few.

i notice in today’s interview in the Chron , Curle implies some players could have their contracts paid up enabling them to move on and subsequently us to bring another player in .
i may have misinterpreted that but surely players dont hang around when they could be paid up to leave ?
Maybe he is referring to a compromise deal in which they get a percentage to leave but not the full
amount otherwise why wouldn’t you just clear off !

Please get back to the subject ffs...i don't care about Lampard being sacked!

KC said still no intention of offering Holmes anything yet, as still waiting for last minute deals for other targets, before window closes on Monday. Completely understandable and an option if we don't get anyone else in before Monday (unless Holmes signs elsewhere of course)

Still hoping Martin/Marshall/Missalou get fixed up elsewhere before Monday...I'd still keep Marshall esp as Miller now out for at least 3 weeks, but if KC isn't gonna play him may as well get rid.

I don't think it would be hard to replace the Guardians social media team to be honest.

Pick one to blame at random and then post :
  • Brexit
  • Racism
  • Men
  • Jeremy Corbyn
