Best thing about Roeder's spell for you?

[Howaythetoon 0]

For me - communication with fans.

 

Not the usual guff or hot air either, he's assessing problems and weaknesses at the club and saying look, this needs to happen, this doesn't, we need to look at this and that.

 

He's been open and honest too regarding injuries, team selection and such.

 

Whether this is him just chomping at the bit, all excited he can't help but have an opinion on everything and anything, or a real attempt to communicate with fans, I don't care.

 

It's refreshing and I can't help feel Souness brought a lot of flack and lack of sympathy onto himself with his stubborn, non-commital ways, i.e. his lack of communication with fans.

 

Also, I think he's doing a sterling job in promoting the club, or rather the potential of it to the outside lurkers.

 

I hope the club look after him, I'd personally give him carte blanch with the academy side and maybe even the scouting side as he's been talking about that recently, and a club should do things a certain way, i.e. not the way we currently do things.

 

Good head on good shoulders, good coach but average manager for me.

 

Probably our best bit of business in 18 months as a club.

However, one thing that you'd have to say that Souness did right was that he nearly always said what you wanted to hear, mind you he'd nearly always do the oposite, but he knew what to say at the right time, but he always came out with the soundbites when required.

 

Personally, I think the Roeder regime is now being found out, the honeymoon is firmly now over, now is the test of what a manager Roeder truely is.

I'd much prefer he communicated with the players. Roeder should have changed our formation today after 5 minutes. Liverpool over ran us from the first minute and we should've pulled Shola back into midfield to stop them having the middle to themselves. It would have kept Nobby where he should be - out wide and stop their wing advantage in the process.

That it stopped the Souness era.
