Glenn Roeder last night guaranteed Newcastle fans European qualification next season . . .

 

If the club stays relatively injury-free.

 

The United boss concedes that a top-six finish is beyond his side this season, but sees it as a certainty next year - fitness permitting.

 

"Next year, injury-free, we will return to a season where European football is guaranteed," promised Roeder.

 

And the manager vowed to ride out any criticism that comes his way in the meantime.

 

 

"If you do well you get a pat on the back and if you don't do well, you get a kick up the backside. That is football," he said. "You get judged every game.

 

"I love football and the business, and I accept that responsibility. If you only want to get patted on the back, don't become a manager."

Using the injuries as an excuse for this abortion of a season there. "If not for them we'd be in Europe". Fuck off dickface, we can't beat Charlton or Man City with almost a full squad.

Don't guarantee something you can't deliver fuck face.

 

Am I the only one who wouldn't mind seeing us lose 5 of our next 7 games if it meant getting rid of this clueless twat at the end of this abortion of a season?

Who lets this twat near the press?

 

For fucks sake I'd prefer it if Freddy took all the press conferences from now on, the mans a lunatic.

 

:o

 

 

I really don't understand the vitriol for this statement (he does sometimes spout rubbish but this isn’t one of those occasions), all he's saying is that next season he expects to be in the top 6.

 

 

Is that really such a bad thing?

Ok he might not be able to achieve it, and if he said he was going to win the league then fair enough that would be lunacy.

 

But what exactly do the people on here want him to say?

 

"Next year, injury-free, we will piddle around and end up 13th" ;) That’s not much of a statement of intent.

He's not saying that, he's guranteeing us European qualification, whilst making excuses about injuries in advance ffs!

 

FYI, he does have the option of saying nothing you know.

We cant possibly have a worse season next year regarding the injury front , its feckin impossible, a total rebuild of the squad from top to bottom is needed, the players must be desperate to wear the black and white, like wor Al was.

For which he'd get castigated as well :nufc: (although I'd have thought he'd have tried it anyway by now), plus I very much doubt he thinks of something and goes looking for a reported to say it to, it'll just be part of his general press contact.

 

He has said some stupid things, but this isn't really one of them.

 

I'd be much more worried about having a manager that WASN'T aiming for 6th place or better next season (whether or not we can do it).

If he's going to come out with these sorts of soundbites then the time to do it is on the eve of the 07/08 curtain raiser, when he's no doubt performed wonders in the transfer market and got all of his targets in. Not in the immediate aftermath of a loss at home to Manchester City, with the benefit of a virtually full strength first team squad to pick from. It smacks of desparation and a complete sense of cluelessness.
