Redknapp or Curbishley?
Aug 17, 2008 Matches, West Ham News, Wigan
I was very pleased with yesterdays results, Lets be honest could it have been a better day, We Won, Spurs Lost, that’s what i call an ideal day of football. Ours was not the best of games but we saw some nice work from Faubert, and Ashton scoring 2 beauties.
Curbishley is again hitting the headlines to be the 1st manager sacked is getting very boring now, and to add a cherry to the cake, the red tops have come up with an absolute rubbish story that Redknapp would be next in line to manage West Ham if and when Curbs does go.
I cant say i would be over the moon to have harry back, we need to go forward not back 7 years, Curbs still deserves some time to play with a fit squad, when that will be is a mystery, with Ashton limping off late in the game on Saturday which we only hope is cramp.
We need to see if Curbs can get us off to a good start with the 1st 8 games and then judge him on that, Redknapp has waited 7 years, i am sure he could wait another year, thats if we really want him?

West Ham v Wigan - Like New Signings!
Alan Curbishley will be feeling the presure today as the West Ham start their season opener against Wigan
Curbishley and Manchester City’s Mark Hughes are the favourites in the Premier League sack-race, with Curbishley’s position coming under scrutiny amid financial uncertainty at Upton Park.
The Hammers’ board expected more than a 10th-placed finish last season after Curbishley splashed out £22.5million on Craig Bellamy, Kieron Dyer, Julien Faubert and Freddie Ljungberg last summer.
But captain Lucas Neill has urged for patience from the West Ham board given the injury woes that hampered their hopes of a European push last term.
“I think he’s been a victim of a board that’s come in, given him a lot of money and wanted success immediately,” said Neill.
“Time stood still for us for a year because everyone we tried to bring in, in terms of knowledge and experience, was injured. That’s not his fault.
“I think he’s got to be judged on what happens from now. You can’t just buy success in one season, it takes time.
“Somebody’s got to be the favourite to get the sack first and unfortunately it’s him because of the demand at West Ham for success.
“But the odds on him going will soon change if we stick two or three quick wins together.
“There’s a determination to go where we wanted to go last season before it went wrong,” he added.
“You want your biggest weapons out there because you know at any stage of the game Kieron Dyer or Craig Bellamy’s pace could get you a goal.
“I think there’s been less activity in the market this summer because we’re yet to see our transfers from last year play their part.
“Having them back, alongside Dean Ashton and Scott Parker, will be like new signings.”
