Why does that mean they have been interviewed then? Doubt they would go together and its strange as all the interviewing and player recruitment is done from the training ground offices.
so why are thay up there then ? well thay are there this morning so make your own minds up

Haven't read all the posts but Paulo Di Canio would be a brave but very amusing choice!!

I'm joking really but we really don't want anyone like Bruce and Brown or in my opinion Mcinnes or Appleton...

My mates brothers neighbours cousin has just seen Ray Graydon at the club shop picking up some half price home shirts. While he was there he popped in for an interview and apparently he is in pole position.


Don't doubt my mates brothers neighbours cousin he saw it with his own eyes!!!  ;D

I'll be over the moon if we get Curbishley. Fantastic manager who has always got teams to over achieve and also encourages more attractive football than Hodgson. We need to replace Roy with somebody who has been there and done it before. Nobody else available who I can think of is more suited to this criteria than Curbishley.

My second choice would be Brendan Rodgers. Done fantastic with Swansea and plays attractive football.

A close third choice for me would be Paul Lambert. Again, has done wonders with an average squad and small budget.

We need to avoid the likes of McInnes, Poyet, Appleton, Di Cannio. They'll have their chance eventually but we need stability and experience, that's why Curbishley is the man.

I thought people were laughing when Steve McLaren was heavily linked with the Villa job, no thanks.

Still Hughton or Martinez for me if he does leave Wigan.

Martinez has taken a side with a higher combined salary than ours to the brink of relegation each season he's been in charge. Why on earth would we want that?

In all honesty were talking about experience at this level and I think realistically the only man that ticks those boxes and is available is Bruce. I think it's pretty likely we could see him in the hot seat. It wouldnt be a popular appointment but it wouldnt be a disaster. I think he had some torrid luck at both Blues and Sunderland with injuries and he didnt do a bad job with Wigan. Personally wouldnt be my choice but he's a much better candidate than half the names been banded about

I disagree, Curbishley's brand of football is every bit as functional, and some may say stifling, as Hodgson's style if not more so.

I also doubt he would be interested in working in our structure, he would view it as a constraint to his management style.  I would be seriously disappointed of we were to go for him.

I have complete faith in the club getting it right, the last few appointments have been spot on.

He won't have a choice in what structure he works in as all clubs are going the same way especially with the financial fair play restrictions being introduced. I would have agreed with your point a few years ago but those days are gone now.

I wasn't saying Curbishley's brand of football was on par with Brazil or a Mowbray team, but he does employ a slightly more attacking brand than Hodgson in my opinion, not that I have a problem with Hodgson style, at the end of the day we can play like Stoke every week and be bored to tears, as long as we win, that's all I care about. We can start thinking about expansive attractive football when we can sign the players to do so and still survive year after year.

Answer me this mate (not having a go, everyone has got different ideas on who's the best man for the job):

What part of Curbishleys managerial record suggests to you that he couldn't come to the Hawthorns and carry on consolidating our Prem status?
