A relative of mine is an '82er. He is/was best mates with Keith Curle's dad. Keith is a Rovers fan. I can remember Keith playing as a winger for Rovers before becoming a central defender in the Premier League and for England.

I catch your drift, you want Nicholson converted to a centre half?

That’s nice. But what does that have to do with our search for a new manager?

May be past his prime playing on the wing.also wouldn't fit in with the current project of getting in youngsters to sell on

Keith Curle also led us up the garden path when he was manager at Chester City. He got his agent to contact the club to ask them to speak to the Chester chairman to allow permission to talk to us solely to then deny he was interested just to get a better contract with Chester.

Surely Rovers could have paid more than Chester?

Surely Rovers could have paid more than Chester? The point was, he asked for an interview, their chairman went to the press saying Curle would never leave Chester for Bristol Rovers and then Curle denied any interest in the job so we never even interviewed him. His agent then said it was only a ploy to improve his existing contract.

Sounds more like he was interested in Rovers but wasn't going to get the job so wangled a better contract out of Chester?

David Pritchard. I used to work with a bloke who knew him.
Is this a new game where we randomly name an ex player and then claim a tenuous connection

I can't really explain why as I'm sure he's a decent bloke but Curle would probably be the most boring appointment we could make.
