Dr Gloom 22295 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 For me, roeder should never have been given the job permanently but, like Souness, I certainly don't blame him for taking it. Which other Premiership club would have appointed him as manager based on winning ten league matches? None. The top four clubs wouldn't have even looked at his CV. So if we have ambitions to be a top six side then why did we? Meanwhile, a rotten club like Aston Villa manage to persuade Martin O'Neill back into football.... Like our striker transfer dealings, we had bags of time to make the right appointment and we failed miserably. There's only one place where the buck can stop where that's concerned but accountability at boardroom level isn't something this club has a great recent history of. Neither is winning trophies. The two seem to be inextricably entwined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 The piss poor planning on the appointment of our last two managers and finding a replacement for Shearer is staggering tbh. A properly run club would never be in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A properly run club would never be in this situation. There you go again, mentioning that word "planning". Clubs can't plan for anything - FACT!

We are very quickly turning into sunderland tbh That's way over the top. We're nowhere near that bad. Not that that's an excuse for accepting piss poor performances though.
