Don't like the way he's being treated though :thdn:

As I've always said back him, let's look at the options:

Bilic: Seems to be the manager that everyone wants, however, unproven as a premiership manager, people say that he qualified Croatia for the European championships but he was expected to do that anyway. Plus, would he put up with the boards handling of transfers? Probably not.

Sam Allardyce: Been out of work for a while, so must be looking for work. His football is worse than what people say Curbishley's is like, long ball all day long would have even the most excitable of people falling asleep.

Harry Redknapp: I would have him back, others wouldn't, likes to gamble on transfers, not something I think our current board would be pleased with. I do however, start to dribble at the prospect of him and Dicanio as a team on the touchline, even for the entertainment!

Chris Coleman: Just out of work, wanted to move back to England. Didn't have the best of times with Fulham. Would be better off sticking with Curbs, in my opinon.

Graeme Souness: If we went for him I wouldn't be jumping for joy, I would consider jumping off a bridge though.

Sven-Goran Eriksson: Did well in his short time at City, would want a rather large pay-check though, and be prepared for stories of how many affairs he has...

I don't really feel he is the man to take us further but he deserves a chance for all he has done for us.
& He does not deserve to be treated the way he has been by the board.
If there is anyone at West Ham that know what the fans what it is him, he is the only man i trust at the club!
& He's West Ham through and through

Im behind him 100%

Gone for me too. If the current board are going to take this club forward with a different manager then why wait, get on with it. Sad to see Curbs treated so badly but I've seen enough negative football for long enough.

How can we complain about the board raping us for all we're worth then consider getting rid of one of the only people in the club with all of our best interests at heart.

If anyone else came to the club it would be down to careerism, and they'd be a lot less committed than our man.

Certainly back him.

Get your point, but it's certainly bad for west ham if the board don't want him. I think curbs will realise this as well and go with his head held high.

Sack him.

Heart wont be in the job now if the stories in the press are to be believed. We cant have that filtering through to the team.

Get rid. Even though he appears to have been treated poorly.

Back him, Sack Duxbury. Sack the board. I remain wholly unconvinced by their actions (or lack of them).

100% Back Him

Patience is the key. People that know football, know that stability is what breeds success the majority of the time. Johnny Lyall took control of West Ham in 1974 and it was in 1986 we finished 3rd in the league. I know football is a different game these days but there is a lesson there.

We have still yet to see a first choice Curbs side play week in/week out for a sustained period of time. Some will point out he has acquired players with a history of injuries. But these players did pass medicals prior to signing. And it can hardly be Curb's fault that Dyer broke his leg or that Bellamy would be out for so long. Despite this we still finished 10th !!!

And also, as youngster attending UP, I witnessed Curbs score one of my most memorable goals in a game against Cambridge Utd in the old Second Division. West Ham scored 5 that day. There was probably 30000 plus there and the North and South Banks were rocking. Those were the days that made me fall in love with this club.

I bet Curbs wishes we had that kind of support at UP nowadays.

On the contrary dear Laffers, you can sack the whole bloody lot bar Gudmundsson (because he owns the club)!
