Old Shuck 183 Posted October 30, 2007 OK, he''s not everyones first choice. We all wanted Jewell and we were convinced he was coming here, but we are not a big draw for "name" Managers, and never have been frankly-look at what we did when we were in the Prem, hardly a draw then, even when Walker left, the applicants were such quality at the time, it was Deehan who got the job!His plus points are that he is articulate, intelligent, experienced and highly thought of. And he has good contacts in the game. He is so well thought of that Arsenal were looking at the possibility of appointing him as Director of Football!I think it is obvious that he was not the first choice-three weeks on and the successful applicant was never in work, plus the fact that the implications from the Board were that the first choice was in work at the time. However-maybe we made candidate "x" an offer and he turned it down. We''ll never know.Roeder is this Boards last throw of the dice. Hopefully they realise this. It is now crucial that he gets a good team in alongside him-those appointments are as important, if not, more so. We shall see. But lets get behind the poor bloke now, he needs this season just to keep us up, nevermind anything else. January is a crucial time for him-if we have any £££-as is the Summer. We could have got someone a lot worse than Glenn Roeder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grando 260 Posted October 30, 2007 Jury''s out as far as I''m concerned - but he''s here now so we have to be fair to the bloke and judge him on results.Calling him ''Ratboy'' is really contructive and grown-up though...

Hog 0 Posted October 30, 2007 "Majority shareholders Delia Smith and Michael Wynn-Jones said: “Glenn''s experience in taking on clubs in difficult situations and improving their fortunes is clearly relevant to us." does that mean we can get another manager once we are safe!

If someone better (i.e. Jewell) wanted the job, they would have hired him, and I assume Roeder was not first choice.But you have to deal with facts, and at the end of the day, it could have been a lot worse.Lets just hope the board give him some money to spend, and hope we can get out of this mess.
