i think we''re down as well unless we get in someone very good, and someone who has some money to buy who we need to buy.that said, relegation may do some good.               Martin   CuretonBell     Pattison      Clingan    *god knows who*Drury    Doc        Spillane      Ostemobor                  Rudd maybe good enough to get promoted from league 1....

Might be an idea for someone to text or ring into canary call tonight to say a few words.

i laughed so much at this, he has a list!sorry but regardless of the points he raises he contradicts himself so often in this its unreal. Its almost as funny as his stupid "I am focused on coaching and training my team" speech last season.the guys a moron

And he was off with a brain tumour when they went down... never mind hey, all his fault he wasn''t there to help them...

I agree with the first post completely.

Think Clingan wouldn''t be far off this team...

And how much money have you raised for the club smudger? exactly, shut up.

Going to games makes no difference, some of us can''t regularly make games.In my opinion its someone who is a fan of the club, follows the club and watches them whenever possible and has been a fan for most of their life.

The great thing about west ham is ashton... we have a sell on clause there and so long as Doncaster gives any money from him to glenn we may have a chance... please man city pay over the odds for him...

[quote user="Match Day Pie"]Well the team seem to have been playing quite well without getting results. Maybe if we''d have had Stefanovic and Kennedy fit, we''d be able to defend the good work going on in midfield and up front, relieving a bit of pressure. Hate to put it so simply, but maybe there isn''t a conspiracy to send us down - maybe we''ve got some good players who have started to gel but just miss some solidity at the back. Stranger things have happened... Roeder has to believe he''s right, otherwise there''d be no point in doing what he does. Wenger, Fergie, O''Neill, all arrogant, all pretty hated by the fans for their ''attitude'' but time has told. Roeder has never been a manager who isn''t under pressure, but that isn''t his fault - it''s what he''s walked into. How about we let him get on with it - and see what he can do with a bit of stability, instead of looking to find someone to blame. It takes years to create a good side, but you have to be left to get on with it - and be allowed to make mistakes along the way. The alternative is that we could talk ourselves into relegation - which most people on this forum would be very good at, and so maybe they should be the managers?[/quote] AT LAST!!!!!i''ve been browsing this forum on and off for the past few hours and finally a post that makes sense!

Grant inherited worthys competent championship team which was underperforming, the team with earnshaw, etuhu, safri and some other reasobale championship players who wouldn''t be in a relegation scrap.... he made it worse. Roeder inherited Grants relegation candidates and has made them marginally better.Therefore Grants win ratio should be higher because he had a better team than when roeder took over.

[quote user="Sons of Boadicea"]Polar - I kind of understand where you are coming from but the squad he has assembled finds itself just two points above the relegation places having taken just 9 points from the 30 available. Roeder tells us that the squad he inherited was the worst he has ever seen, this is the same squad that went on a 12 match unbeaten run. The best that the squad assembled by Roeder has achieved is a 3 match unbeaten run. The man himself only just recently tells us he expects us to improve and push on, just as he told us that the win against Ippo was the platform for a winning run, one win and four defeats later and look where we are. If Roeder is to take the praise for saving us, he has to take the criticism for our current run of form, personally I think his main problem is that he has his "favourites", he needs to start thinking of the club rather than his own ego. [/quote]Yes some of those points are valid but we have had injuries and suspensions to disrupt the squad as well. I think with Kennedy and Stefanovic at the back for all this time and we would of had better results. The team needs to gel and we can''t do that with loanees, whether thats roeders fault or the boards fault is down to your own opinions. I have no problem with Roeder being criticised, all managers can be and will be criticised but all these calls for his head when hes improved us in terms of league position and quality of play. The favourites comment is interesting, Fozzy was a favourite last year but hes been dropped, those in the team at the minute i believe deserve to be, albeit Lupolis ommisons from the squad are strange i agree, but continuity is what we need. I don''t believe we will be relegated and that things will turn around so i''m happy to stick with Roeder.

Yes, Roeder in, those of you who''ve just read that and gone all horrified and are going to start going on about sheep and turnips and other useless unintelligent comments just don''t bother.We can''t keep changing our manager, we got rid of worthy, got Grant, got rid of Grant and got Roeder who saved us from Relegation. Interesting we''re not at the bottom of the league, or even in the relegation places unlike last season when we were bottom and cut adrift by October. Our team already has the marks of all three managers, Croft, Doc and Drury from the Worthy Era, Marshall, Ostemobor, Russell and fozzy from Grants lot and then the rest from Roeders. Changing again is a complete waste, Roeder needs to time to tinker and get it right instead of bringing in a new manager with a new style of play and then needing different types of players. Changing managers every season doesn''t work, Spurs, Bolton and Blackburn for example all have gone through various managerial changes in recent seasons and haven''t got anywhere, Chelsea haven''t exactly looked world beaters since getting rid of Mourinhio despite Av Grant papering over the cracks, leicester changed every couple of monthes and that did no good. I could carry on but the point is Roeder is a decent manager and has improved us, we won''t have instant success, he hasn''t said he wants to win the league this season like Grant did but he said he wants to improve the team and hes doing that and so long as the board back him as they backed worthy then i think he will continue to improve us.Alot of our relegation rivals (i don''t believe we will be relegated come May but hey ho) have changed managers, Southampton brought in those two people no ones heard of at the beginning of the season, Watford went for some Chelsea reserve coach very few have heard of,  and Charlton haven''t found anyone, blackpool have lost a manager through no fault of their own and Forest have got rid of Calderwood. Whats the point in getting rid of Roeder now when 3 other clubs in this division will be deludedly going for Curbishley, trying to get Boothroyd who had a one season wonder in a Cureton style or going for Ince who was like a rabbit in the headlights in the prem. No point in sacking Roeder, he hasn''t lived up to fans deluded dreams of instant turnaround and hasn''t made us a top of the table team yet, but hes laying the foundations and we''re not in relegation zones yet (yes yes yes relegation form i know just like 7 or 8 other teams all trying to drop into the bottom 3) and much better off than last season. ROEDER IN!

They''re set to announce their engagement... (someone had to say it)

Lupoli, Koroma and Omozusi are here for the season, Kennedy may extend, we have an option to extend Bertrand so long as chelsea agree - lets be honest, hes not going to unseat Cole and Bridge. Sibierski will be gone... oh no, Lita may or may not sign permenantly. Bell and Croft will play. don''t let that get in the way of a good moan though.

If this came from Beaker - i wouldn''t believe itBut the fact this is from someone anti board and generally comes across well then i do.If true fantastic and well done Arthur for finding this out, well done everyone involved for making it happen, but i remain hopeful until it actually is 100% done and hes presented as a city player.

No, they just all have split personalities...

 What i find quite funny is that Smudge bases his opinions on the board in terms of how much money they have to spend.Quite amusing considering Leicester and much better off than us and their in league 1...and Smudge, that garbage you said above is not fact, they are your opinions.wise up.tool.

[quote user="1st Wizard"][quote user="CDMullins"] Come on then as after the Ipswich match ''Wheres all the negative posters?'' Wheres the postive posters now? Are we still unlucky? Is Delia still the saviour? Is Roeder still the magician? [/quote] I really dislike this kind of thread, positive or negative, its just divides fellow fans. [/quote]And this is why i respect Wiz, regardless of which way the wind blows, hes still a fan like everyone else.

Why dont you just PM him?

[quote user="terrier_neil"][quote user="Polar"]Whats amusing is that we often get accused of living in the past... 3 titles in war time britain and an FA cup... ooh... jealous.when was the last time you won the championship? last time you were in the premier league? last time you played in europe? last time you beat bayern munich in germany? last time you played in the san siro? when was the last time you sold out? saying Norwich doesn''t have an atmosphere is just a bit silly considering we sell out just about every week. haha... this is funny, a group of huddersfield fans thinking Norwich is smaller than them... you couldn''t write this stuff.[/quote] 1926. And you? [/quote]A couple of years back when were promoted to the prem... Norwich > huddersfield
