BastianSchweinsteiger 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Glenn Roeder has a really convincing start? I'm talking about convincing wins at home and good performances/wins away. What do we do in that situation? Is it a case of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' or do we still appoint a new manager regardless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emre 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) didnt SSN say he didnt have the correct uefa badges or something? or were they just referring to Shearer? Edited February 2, 2006 by Emre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I hope he is a success, I doubt it though. However, this is another reason why the club shouldn't rush into an appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 didnt SSN say he didnt have the correct uefa badges or summit? or were they just referring to Shearer? 88374[/snapback] They both lack the correct badges and can only be in charge for 12 weeks. I don't know how far along either of them are in qualifying but i suspect Fat Fred doesn't see Roeder being boss long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Interesting scenario. We could go on a fantastic run for 12 weeks then be forced by red tape to appoint someone else. Doesn't seem right. Not very likely anyway, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46030 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I'm pretty sure Renton will require Champions League qualification by the end of this season. Anything less is a sackable offence IIRC. I'm a bit more lenient but apparently that was my downfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22001 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 If Roeder does a "Stuart Pierce" then I believe he will be entitled to the job. The red tape can be sorted out easily enough. Doubt he will though. Which reminds me, wasn't Pierce in charge when Forest went down? He turned out OK at citeh, so maybe Roeder won't be as useless as some people think. Maybe.

Whoever does get the job will be starting from a much worse inherited position than Souness was don't forget, and won't have the funds he had. I would think it good going if they could achieve qualification for Europe in less than three year now tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it good going if they could achieve qualification for Europe in less than three year now tbh. 88402[/snapback] Whether it's Roeder/Big Al or a new appointment i will be expecting everyone to be pretty lenient for this season. They are taking over a mess, avoiding relegation is enough now. All that i would like to see is somesigns of improvement in terms of organisation, gameplans, tactics and the like. And at least a small step up in standard of football and attacking. If it looks as though the person (and their staff) are heading in the right direction then we can start to be optimistic about the following season. Whoever takes over has two things in their favour against all the crap they are presented with: 1. The players available and soon to be available are so much better than Souness made them look, so any manger has a chance of improving us 2. We have a good home tie to get into the QF of the fa cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I don't think Roeder/Shearer is anything more than a stop gap whilst the club (hopefully) take their time and sort out a new man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 4134 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I dont think we wil have a new manager this season, the top candidates are going to see what happens with the England job first. Unless we get a useless dick of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you look closely, you'll observe that Gemmill is the resident forum pedant when it comes to spelling/grammar - not me! Definately!
