Curb-ed

So everyone’s presumption is correct Alan Curbishley has finally resigned and left his ‘dream’ post and probably retreated in football’s wilderness. He did nothing at West Ham of note and he should have really stayed at Charlton rather than rely on his laurels at took the ‘special’ and I do mean special job at West Ham.
He has spent money and failed to deliver. Alan Pardew was not granted much funds but still managed to get them with a whisker of winning the 2006 FA Cup against Liverpool. It only took that man ‘Steven Gerrard’ to score an out-of-this-world goal to save their blushes.
It has gone all downhill from there as Carlos Tevez saved West Ham single handily from relegation as Alan Pardew failed to repeat the previous season’s success.
Curbishley simply was unlucky with countless injuries last term and saved to finish a respectable tenth. It is a shame to see how he easily he fell and with the chairman Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson selling players of the calibre of Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney damaged West Hams credentials.
Having being promised transfer funds he brought in the likes of Craig Bellamy, Kieran Dyer, Lucas Neill and Freddie Ljungberg and all either ended up injured or completely loss for form. It is a shame as Curbishley took a gamble and it failed to materialise.
Unfortunately, nice people never gain the credit they deserve, you have to be ruthless and simply, nasty to be successful. Nice guys always get the bullet and to be fair Curbishley may even end up going back to Charlton if Pardew continues to struggle.
Slaven Bilic is rumoured to join the Hammers and I would welcome him to grace the Premiership but I do hope he understands the full significance that he is going to take no. This is no easy job. Harry Redknapp proved how you run a team like West Ham and he has provided similar traits at Portsmouth.
Hard work and knowing the transfer market will be crucial.
