Yeah that's fair enough actually it's a shame he never seemed to get a second chance in the prem while as you said someone like Hughes could get relegated twice in a row and still get another job in the prem.

Anyone mentioned Souness ?

Who? Wish I had seen that one...I remember some team or another beating them 9-1...
Bruce and Pulis guarantee Championship upper-mid table at least. Boring but safe. Hughes is a proven Premier League failure of course.
P. S. Ipswich sacked a manager acheiving just that in Mick Mccarthy and replaced him with a young up and coming name. They're now marooned at the bottom of the table. At the risk of stating the obvious, Chairmen don't like to take risks.

He's an absolute shocker as a manager.
Good record as a coach. Cannot understand why:
Club owners give him the job that he obviously can't do, time after time;
He himself puts himself forward for jobs where he'll be a proven failure. (Edit, oh it's money of course).
Coach...Manager - such a different skill set. No reason why if you're good at one you'll automatically be good at the other.
They're both shite
Believe it or not Curbishley has only ever managed Fulham and Spam.
But yes he was shit at both.
Win %’s:
Charlton 38.1
Spam 39.4
Charlton?
What's amazing about Curbishley is that he was at Charlton for an entire decade. It's like Moyes at Everton. Just one of those incredibly long managerial posts that totally flew under the radar (unless you were paying attention, I guess).
Got Charlton promoted twice.
Yes, yes. I read that on Wikipedia. It’s just that in my drunken early evening holiday existence I managed to imagine Fulham was Charlton for some reason.
Some (who were equally inebriated on local canned lager) would consider it a reasonable error. Both insignificant London clubs after all.
My point was the stats don't always tell the whole story.
I suspect that HE wouldn’t have been stupid enough to accept if they offered. Not yet.
Good for the occasional anecdote about old-school dressing room culture etc, but he's one kool-aid drinking motherfucker and is another one that talks in slogans (Honestly I could write his 'Final Word' script for him a week in advance!). Dipper too
Jordan: I'm sure he's a smug little asshole in real life, but considering how the game has changed (i.e. the football "business"); a perspective such as his is a breath of fresh air and potentially holds more resonance as to what happens to our teams in the long run than most of the guff reported and discussed regarding players and matches. More often than not a thoroughly good listen. Doesn't give a fuck too which is always fun (see QPR rant)...
