steve b 0 Posted July 14, 2008 There is a good chance that this may happen very soon, Would anyone be surprised if Roeder actually decided he''s had enough of this and decided to walk, I''ve got a horrible feeling that he''s going to quit and it''ll be quite soon, Ian Dowie was promised money at coventry and they never came up with it and he didn''t appreciate it so he walked, Roeder said at the end of last season that we wont recognise this squad next season and we''ll have new heroes to follow, i assume that he said this as he''d been promised the funds to do it, we could be on the verge of losing potentially a very good manager, I would hate him to go but would understand why if he did, lets hope i''m wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 14, 2008 Lol CT, wtf are you on this afternoon?

Grumpy Old Blogger 0 Posted July 14, 2008 I wonder if Glenn Roeder is finding a little more difficult than he expected to attract players to Norfolk after several poor seasons and little sign of a revival. He is not an experienced Championship manager and his second year record at clubs is scary to say the least. There is little evidence that he has much cash to splash around on salaries to persuade players to come here and the savings on Huckerby, Dublin and the rest of the “team + substitutes” that GR allowed to leave have probably been swallowed up in the survival budget. What is also clear is that, with the possible exception of Hoolahan, he had no Plan A let alone B or C to replace the players he had let go. Given that he stated quite clearly that he wanted to have his permanent signings in “ready for pre-season” it is difficult to draw any other conclusion. We can put out eleven players who, on their day, could see us maintain a lower-table position without getting cast adrift again. Unfortunately when injuries and suspensions take their inevitable toll there is precious little experience to call upon. Loan players? Yes, he might get some and his record in that direction is good so far. But he will be competing with the big clubs in the Championship for what young talent there is available and may not find this task quite so easy this time round either.Add to all this gloom the fact that there must be a big question mark over whether Shackell will start the season with us (history and the fact that Bob Chase’s land investments to balance the books have been used up suggest this might not be the case), Burnley may yet improve their offer for Russell to a figure that the board find difficult to refuse and we start to look to be sailing into what we shall call “Cullum Waters” (ripe for another cheeky punt). Some may think the board wouldn’t be crazy enough to let players go without bringing in replacements. This board take a longer term plc-type view and will have one eye on the Spring ’09 Season Ticket renewal period already. With lots of long term season ticket deals coming to an end and a mid-table position at best set out before the fans they will need a financial buffer to keep the ship afloat. The 20,000 figure always quoted includes people who signed up while Nigel Worthington was still here or even when we were a Premiership side. The accountants that rule the roost may well be suggesting save all the money possible, and liquidate any assets that can be sold off to avoid hitting the buffers in Spring ’09. There….now that should virtually guarantee an announcement of eight new signing – not one less than £1m and all paraded in front of the camera before the weekend…….

Salopian 1 Posted July 14, 2008 I wouldn''t blame GR if he decided to up and leave. Clearly he has a limited budget, even less than the income left over from last autumn and what he decided to "save" in January in readiness for the Summer, not the mention the Turner £2m.I can''t think of any other reason why we have so far bought two (admittedly good) players on the cheap while other clubs are splashing money around. I just hope that his original target list has not all been snapped up elsewhere.I have to say that as time drags on without a proven striker plus a good CD, as well as other players, you begin to think of 2007 again - when we had to make do with "cheapies" who turned out not to be very good.Since Hux and more particularly Ashton signed, how long ago, we seem to have become ultra cautious. (I am aware that Curo came, but he was a cheap replacement for Earnshaw, who was himself a cheap replacement for Ashton.) It takes a very special person to soldier on for too long in this.
