I'm not doubting your missus but AC's Wiki page says his favourite Cornetto is Minty Choc Chip, not Strawberry. And the type of deals that are conducted in the Plough aren't quite the ones that involve securing the services of a football manager.............

CiderHider Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 No but a guy down the pub said his wifes uncle has mentioned Curbishleys wife has been looking at curtains in in Clifton. So its true then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tapping up will be done firmly away from prying eyes and strictly in private, and under non-disclosure contracts...the first anyone will hear of it will be if an appointment is made, or it is leaked from the club.

You had a serious pill with your cup of tea?! Notwithstanding this, i would agree and it would be extremely surprising to see any prospective manager do anything else but keep his head down until any announcement was made, not go househunting in the local area.

chipdawg Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I think you'll find that Curbishley has been lined up by GJ to play up front for the rest of the season. Can't be any worse than Agyemang.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't intending to come over as serious, just baffled that there are those that give credence to such speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanhamreds Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 The Mrs was out in Clifton on Saturday and she says she saw Brian Tinnion, so does that mean he's our next manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I know an estate agent who told me he's just bought a house in Clifton. No word of a lie, my mate is an estate agent and he has just bought a house in Clifton, my mate that is. I hope I haven't misled anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 we might be signing AC as a back-up striker as we're a bit short in that department. But we won't be if we sign Syd Little though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 No but a guy down the pub said his wifes uncle has mentioned Curbishleys wife has been looking at curtains in in Clifton.

Martyn Hocking Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Been in London all day - no sign of Curbs on his usual 'manor' so I can only assume he's been in Bristol completing his medical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midge Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Does that mean it's curtains for Gary, or Alan? Maybe they should just pull themselves together. We all know that Curbishley's teams are specialists at "drawing" Honestly this is a fantastic thread, I love the rumour mill and sauce threads. Maybe Tinnion has his eye on the Bristol Manor Farm job and is looking at a place in Sea Mills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinker Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Now i don't know if you're joking or not (call me naive if you will!) but my brother in law, who isn't a City fan but is well connected in football circles, told me today that he had heard Curbishley had just rented a place in Portishead. I live in Portishead and i've yet to see him in Waitrose or on the swings down the Lake Grounds, but perhaps he's still finding his way around? Yes, he probably got lost and thought West Ham play in portishead.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 if you think Lansdown would be talking to other managers when we still have one, then you are the biggest muppet around. Every buisness man would have a replacement before the sacking was done, its common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinker Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I love football rumours, they are 90% crap but always bring lots of funny stuff. Occasionally when one comes off we have the usual backtracking by one or two, another pops in to say I had heard about this two weeks ago but didn't want to post and the amazed bugger who has it spot on takes the crown of King poster for a day. Give me football rumours everyday over Lee Johnson is crap threads. At least the LJ is crap threads have some substance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red badger Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hold on a minute - Hull have said that Curbs is NOT on their shortlist... the following are - and if this is the "talent" out there GJ must be sleeping soundly: Megson ( the bookies favourite) Jewell Dowie Southgate and the Forum fave Steve Coppell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityhead Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 A good job they didn't come from Nempnett Thrubwell. Portishead or Adje Cutler - can't see the difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky89 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 This is a long winded rumour, most definatley been changed as it passed on through each person, who knew someone with a dog that was bred by someone or other . . . Anyways, try and keep up! Hull have said that Curbs isn't on their list, and AC's people have said he has a job lined up for the summer and his scouts are already looking at players. The job is thought to be at Ashton Gate. Johnson resigned after/during the Cardiff game, but SL convinced him to stay - UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON so that we can keep ourselves settled and not risk getting relegated. (Haha, I know . . . ) Once the whistle goes on the last day of the season, Johnson will give us all a nice little wave and a clap, and AC will get to work as the new Bristol City manager in time for the 2010/11 season. Don't worry, I call this totall bull, but I thought it was funny, and worth a share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace Curbs with Coppell or Southgate and I reckon you could be onto something! You may be being a little ironic, but that makes as much sense as anything else I've read!

GJ working his notice! this thought has crossed my mind many times, plus the rumors of AC that have been circulating for a while now, I'm not so inclined to rubbish it all as I did originally. I dunno, just can't see AC giving up his position as Chairman of the Coca-Cola Manager of the Month Awards panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
