Super_Steve_Howey 0 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I fail to see anything good about Roeder resigning other than the fact he has gone. THis gets a resounding 'meh' from me. We now seek our 5th manager in 10 years, and Fred has saved himself for another year after bowing to fan pressure. What exactly is there to be ecstatic about? "NUFC have managed to attract Sam Allardyce" I actually feel sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think anyone is really dancing in the streets on this and yes its just another chapter in the NUFC saga however its the passing of (yet another) bad period. I am happy because for once Fat Boy has managed to do a sacking at the right time and (appears) to have a replacement lined up rather than letting Roedent spend 20million before sacking him and taking anyone available 5 weeks into the season.

TheMoog 0 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 As much as I hate to say it, beggars can't be choosers. There aren't anymore 'Bobby Robsons' out there and very few have faith that Alan Shearer could be the next Kevin Keegan. It'd be great if we could attract a top, world class manager but it's never going to happen for several reasons. Roeder did what needed to be done for the good of the club (albeit probably with a helping shove from the fat man), we all know what needs to be done at the club but maybe, just maybe this can be looked on as a nearly clean slate - with a bit of luck we 'might' get someone who can reform things and start a proper rebuilding process and get us back on track.

Barney 0 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 When I saw the news as the 3rd item on teletext(1st and 2nd item being about ManUtd winning the league), my first feeling was embarassment. Then relief that Roeder was gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who was there on Saturday (and the many times before that) could see that Roedent was out of his depth. Its been said a thousand times before but hes the only manager (sorry ex-manager) I know that stands on the touchline until the opposition scores and then sits down and shuts up!

JawD 99 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Its a double edged sword though aint it. Do you really want the club to suffer? I'll buy a new shirt when I get around to it over the summer, Ill renew my ticket not too long after I get the application (or might delay a week to be really daring ) me and no doubt thousands of others. Maybe its that blindness that the club/chairman know only too well. Im glad GR has gone, but equally hesitant to who might come in. Though the current trend suggests a half decent manager now. (One good followed by two shite). Im not elated, far from it. While Id acceopt Sam now (and would not have a while ago) its with reluctance. We aint that good anymore and it shouldnt take much to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
