colneycanary 0 Posted January 11, 2009 The thing is teams around us are picking up points(except charlton). Charlton are doomed we all know that. But who is going down with them? Doncaster maybe then us! I can''t see how we are going to survive unless big changes are made NOW! and not in febuary when it will be too late! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Things are looking up 0 Posted January 11, 2009 I thought last year he would do the job for us, but after a brief recovery surge it''s all been downhill from there. Without a doubt we have got a better squad than last year and I''m grateful for that, but in a results based business a good squad isn''t enough.Can we afford to sack him? The bigger question is. Can we afford NOT to sack him.Sorry Glenn it''s time to go, the sooner the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smudger 0 Posted January 12, 2009 [quote user="cityangel"]Not one person has posted on this thread that they want Roeder to stay yet.[/quote]OK then CA... I shall be the first...I want Mr Roeder to stay (even though I told you he was a rubbish manager from DAY ONE).Why do I wan''t him to stay?Because as Sussex says... those in control of the club will continue to strangle it to a slow and painful death with a new underpaid monkey being fed peanuts to build a team with.When are people going to understand that at this moment in time Roeder is the wrong target???If we were going to get shot of him then we should of done it months ago.How many credible managers are going to want to take the reigns at the end of Jan or start of Feb, when we have no money to spend and the transfer window is either shut or about to slam shut, we have massive disillusionment amongst the clubs fan base and they know from recent evidence that they are going to be on a hiding to nothing unless they can conjure up absolute miracles???We should get rid of the board first and look at the managerial situation at the right time prior to a new boss being given proper money to sort this mess out.

blahblahblah 2 Posted January 12, 2009 I can''t give reasons to keep him, but I''''ll tell you why we will keep him. It''s January 12th. Like it or not the club are committed to this manager, the transfer window ties our hands. Sack him today and the way the club does interviews gives us a February replacement. Looking at the table, it''s clear to me that we need to sort out the defence. The teams around us aren''t scoring goals. We''ve scored as many as most mid-table sides. It''s goals conceded that let us down, and no surprise when we''ve lost players like Stefanovic and Kennedy. to injury. It would help if we could get a run of 5 or 10 matches with the same back 4 selected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People just don''t seem to get it !!![/quote][/quote]Exactly though RENEGADE... the last time we invested in a flair player (short term loanees not included) was Earnshaw when we invested half of what we had received from the sale of Ashton (also putting a stupid clause in Earnies contract which ultimately meant that we lost him for what we had paid and then the money recieved from that went in to that mysterious black hole).We do not have a quality target man upfront (even to bing on for 15 mins)... we have somebody we are trying to nurse back from serious injury who has not scored a goal in how many years???This is why we find ourselves where we are today... we all know what adding a bit of quality to the squad could bring.While many other teams are happy to invest and do the best they can to bring in 3 or 4 quality individuals, we are happy to tread water even when we are finding it difficult to stay afloat.I am afraid there is only go9ing to be one inevitable outcome to this... and yes you have guessed it...

6088m canary 0 Posted January 12, 2009 well then...the transfer window argument is a very valid point.....so im just going to leave that to one side and concentrate on the original idea of the post.the way I see it , getting rid of Roeder has two conceivable eventualities....Either.......A) we get a new manager in who is a real manager, can motivate players, knows who to put an arm around and who to bo**ock, has a bit of tactical nouse (of how nice that would be!) and concentrates on the basics. The new manager effect kicks in and although we wont surge up the league im sure well do enough to be ok.B) the new manager has all the aforementioned abilites but we still dont have a settled side, strategy or team spirit. These will come of course, but for this season it''s too little too late.....and we drop.I personally believe that (A) is the most likely outcome for ourselves since we really do have enough quality in the squad to be mid table.Either way, I will still follow City whichever division we find ouselves in. I understand completely those that wont but my personal view is that if you are a fan then you are there for life, wherever you end up. I would point out manchester city''s incredible average gate in the old division 3 not so many years ago to point this out. If we truly do have such amazing , loyal supporters rather than a bunch of season ticket paid up, nothing better to do on a saturday passionless sheep then we shall see if the unthinkable happens. It would give me a real sense of pride to see us in league 1 with a gate of 25,000 (not that i want us in League 1 of course!!!!!!). OTBC and respect to the hundreds of truly brilliant fans that travel nationwide to watch possibly the worst (points per game) travelling side in the last 4 seasons in the whole of the football league (id love to see a stat on that!)......
