Matt Morriss 69 Posted May 9, 2008 Roeder''s comments on the fan backlash of Hucks:He also rejected criticism of the timing of the announcement, two daysafter the final match of the season at Sheffield Wednesday, saying: ''''Ihonestly don''t know what all the fuss is about.''''I find this completely unbelievable, niave and quite frankly a little arrogant. He''s dismissing the passion of the fans who support a true NCFC legend who was here long before he was. The ''fuss'' is that there''s no reason whatsoever that we couldnt have been told in the days before the Sheff Wed game. Theres a million reasons why we werent told before QPR, assuming the decision had been made, and it was 100% the right thing to do to not discuss any players contract until the threat of relegation was gone.But to then not tell us and deprive Darren of what he truely deserved is disgusting treatment of a player who showed the most loyalty to a club ive seen since Matt Le Tissier at Southampton, in the days of Cashley Cole, not too mention Dean Cashton and Robert Earnmore. Hucks had numerous chances to leave, and i think were all a little surprised he stayed around so long given how pathetic we have been since relegation from the Premiership.Dion had a tremendous send off, i for one travelled to Sheffield solely to say goodbye, and that was only my 2nd away game in 20 years, and with respect due to Dion, his level of send off isnt half as deserved as Darren''s should and would have been. Dion''s been here a season and a half and has done well for us, but Hucks...well we all know how important he has been to the club.Getting back to Roeder, he has showed he''s clearly out of touch with the Norwich City fans, and anymore of this disregard for fans opinions will soon turn out bad for him, cause in a longevity battle, there''s only ever going to be one winner.

canary cherub 1 Posted May 9, 2008 On another thread, Camulodonum who''s met Roeder a couple of times, says he''s not at all fan-focused. But this is not just about the fans, it''s about football and its traditions. If he could understand why Dion deserved such a sendoff it''s frankly disingenuous to claim that he doesn''t understand the fuss about Hucks. Hucks was deprived of a sendoff for a reason. We don''t know what that reason was and probably never will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Poirot 1 Posted May 9, 2008 Kick it OffWe''re well aware you''re a fan of Roeder. But you''ve got to realise that despite how good a job he has done up to now, he screwed up the manner in which Huckerby was released. He deserves criticism for that. Of course it is rediculous to suggest it was a sackable offence to do what he did, particularly after the success he had last season since taking over, and whilst I know you have never said this, I want you to appreciate the fact that people can still criticise him for the way in which he screwed up releasing Huckerby. I don''t mind that he did release him, and his reasons are logical, and most fans will accept them. But it was the manner in which he did which has upset so many fans. And it would be good for him to learn from this experience. He has given a good account of himself in his press conference, but he still fails to acknowledge he screwed up in the way he (or the club) managed the annoucement. I hope someone at the club is man enough to come out and apologise. Of course we''ll all get behind Roeder for next season, and this error will quickly be forgotten if we get off to a good start. A bad start however, and it could be another matter from some quarters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Poirot 1 Posted May 9, 2008 Well I was speaking mainly for myself Mook when I put in the "we''ll all get behind Roeder for next season". But what I suspect is that whilst a lot of fans, including me , are angry over the Huckerby situation, by the start of the season a lot of new players will be here and, in part, to use an old phrase, "what''s out of sight will be out of mind", and most fans will get behind the team and be excited with new hope for what beckons. It''ll be when things start going badly, should they, and say our new left winger (whoever he might be) is playing poorly, then things will get ugly. And as you asked, Roeder can go about his business in anyway he likes, but he needs to realise that if things don''t go his way on the pitch, it''s useful to have the fans on his side. The way Huckerby was released has alienated a lot of fans, and he has put himself under unnecessary pressure now. He is perfectly in his rights to do so, but I question the wisdom of how he did it. That is all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lucky green trainers 0 Posted May 9, 2008 judging roedy from the ncisa meeting earlier this year - he clearly doesn''t suffer fools gladly - or have much time for players with ego''s. nor did he appear able to accept he makes mistakes. he pointedly refuted the claim by a questioner that maybe playing young loanees had upset the applecart and curtailed our winning run. he said he picked his team on merit alone and was clear on that...i doubt if many in the room believed it imo.so - roedy is looking to tough it out and his latest comments don''t surprise. but the fact hucks didn''t get a send-off showed he must have peed off key figures in the club. his treatment by NCFC looks personal - even if the choice to let him go was professional. imo - the latter is roedy''s responsibility - the former is delia''s and the chief exec. so make your own mind up.this sorry affair has the hallmarks of malky''s exit written all over it. players who bled yella and green - but were bombed out for maybe upsetting the NCFC junta. but NCFC comes forst here, and we must all put it behind us now, and look forward - make no mistake, this season is a big, big season for us. with so many comings and goings, theirs a huge margin for error built in - and we don''t want 2008/9 ending in tears!?> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What i object to is the ridiculously childish "Sack Roeder" sentiments expressed by you amongst others and the level of personal abuse levelled at him purely because he didn''t tell you he was releasing Hucks before he did it. Yes it wasn''t the best handling of the situation, and yes i am not happy with it, i am just not immature enough to let sentimentality rule over logic with regard to what would have been lets face it, a pointless excercise of Hucks walking round the pitch while we sang "oh huckerby....".I have never said Roeder is above criticism, I just think this whole hysteria is ridiculous, especially after saving us with a bunch of no-hopers and a few loanees.

Saint Canary 0 Posted May 10, 2008 I think this has been blown way out of proportion BUT I don''t like the way Roeder has handled this publicly at all. He has done a super job but clearly at times some of his man management does leave a little bit to be desired. Clearly if Hux is not being retained for a year in the Champs, he was never going to be retained in league one and it really wouldn''t have hurt to let the fans give him an ovation after the last game. Being popular with the fans and being successful are not mutually exclusive and it seems Roeder has bought himself some bad will for next season amongst some (not me) secions of the fans. Not a good way to start a season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im not saying its the same, just that i cant think of anyone else, apart of course Le Tiss who has showed the most loyalty to a club, notwithstanding my die hard NCFC support.

Hairy Canary 753 Posted May 10, 2008 There isn''t a manager in the country who doesn''t need the fans behind him in order to keep his job. Roeder has lost some of the fans with the way he has sacked Huckerby. Handled differently he could have managed Huck''s departure as a glorious goodbye instead of this unpleasent episode. It was so unnecessary! Careful Glen, this is not the right way to building a focused team, of which a united fan base is a vital part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
