Houston Canary 0 Posted January 14, 2009 [quote user="Dogger "]I think he would do ok if he had £50 million to spend!?![:|][/quote]No, we''d have the highest paid lightweight benchwarmers in the game while Fotheringham captained a bunch of scrubs who he likes.I am pro-Roeder, though.

Salopian 1 Posted January 14, 2009 We have been severe critics of the last three managers. Is the club bad at picking managers - they have had expert advice each time. Have the managers all faced too big an ask?Or is it the perennial problem of lack of cash? Whoever we got, - Ferguson, Mourino, Wenger, - could they produce the goods as quickly as we want?

Rustys 1st Touch 0 Posted January 14, 2009 I am. For the following reasons: We have played good football this season.Permanant signings have been good.We can''t keep changing managers every season and we''re too far into the season now anyway.The board are to blame more than Roeder, he has no money to work with and they appointed Peter Grant.Leroy Lita should have been signed for the rest of the season. Any board worth their salt would have recognised that and pulled out all the stops.Has been unlucky with injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.B.C 0 Posted January 14, 2009 For me, he has made us play some good football at times, he has brought in some good loans players, he has to contend with a pitiful pot of money, but he has made too many mistakes to mention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plastic Scouser 0 Posted January 14, 2009 I''ll hold up my hands and admit I was pleased with his performance last season but there''s absolutely not a shadow of doubt in my mind that he''d completely lost it this season and the lack of financial support coupled with some really bizarre loan signings showed that he wasn''t the mastermind that we''d all hoped for...

He certainly has an eye for a decent player in my opinion but is, apparently, clueless in getting them to play as a team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spm2866 0 Posted January 14, 2009 I''m a Roeder fan, he knows football especially the stars of tomorrow!When he was appointed here it was because nobody wanted the job and he is a good short term fire fighter, he knows it and so do we!Our precious owners and board of directors hoped for security in the league until they could find investment, but due to there once again failure to open themselves to financial help they have buried themselves and us the true owners of this club.Glenn Roeder can walk away with his annual pay-off knowing he done all he could, if you want to blame him go ahead but NCFC''s problem do not fall at his door, i have posted numerous times about this only to be shot down and i''m sure it will happen again.I agree with all comments regarding his "PR" but what else did he have?The board never ever supported him, they just wanted him to streamline the team on the pitch while they decimated the off field parts except Delia''s business concerns!I''m 110% a true supporter and have been following this club since 1969 when i was picking up fag-butts on the river end railway sleepers with my father "RIP 13/4/08" thank heavens he did''nt have to see the same troubles again in his lifetime. So good luck Glenn i''m sure you will find an appointment again soon OTBC since 1969 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted January 14, 2009 No. Take a look at the West Ham squad that he got relegated, then take a look at our league position. If he could get a team full of current Premier League stars relegated, he could certainly get us relegated. Lets hope the board act quickly in getting a new man in and actually back him before the window ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Binky 0 Posted January 14, 2009 I''m not - mainly for the things he never said (but might have):1. I will get Norwich promoted within 2 seasons.2. I will get Norwich promoted.3. Lappin is not having a particularly good season is he?4. I can be wrong sometimes.5. I think it is important to get on with people6. I will not get Norwich relegated7. I have established the best team and team captain possible – if I could pick 11 Fotheringhams I would8. Darren who?9. There’s no room for egotism at this club10.They laughed when I said I wanted to be come a football manager – well, they’re not laughing now!

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted January 14, 2009 I''m delighted to see the back of him, but I do think he brought one or two decent players in on a very limited budget. He might have some flair as a talent scout, but he''s terribly arrogant and obviously has limited man-management skills. Let''s hope his replacement gives some of the youngsters a chance. Worthington, Grant and Roeder all seemed extremely reluctant to give our youth team players a crack at the first team. This has to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone think that everything in the garden is going to be rosy now? Ok who are we going to play up front and in central defence on Saturday. Yes exactly the same mediocre lot we''ve got now. New Manager - No Change. New Board, real investment - change.I suppose that we''re all expected to have a big love in on Saturday now? Pathetic. The real culprits get away with it again.SACK THE BOARD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
