Curbs: I have no idea where I stand

The prospect of Curbs becoming the next England coach was high on the agenda last Friday.

"I did momentarily wonder what it might be like if I lost three games in a row as England manager. But nothing was defined (at the meeting) and I have not got my feet under Sven's desk or eyed up his England tracksuit," he said.

The Charlton manager experienced first hand the scrutiny that comes with such a high profile role. The meeting had been designed to go unnoticed in media circles, but had become front page news by Sunday.

He added: "I was not prepared for events to escalate the way they did. I have seen it happen to others, sympathised and wondered how they have dealt with it. Now I know and it has taken me aback."
