First manager sacked in the premiership

[animal magic]

a lot depends on who is in charge at West Ham.

Am still convinced he didnt take the signings of the two Argentinians with open arms and that outside influences are taking hold.

Would be a big shame for him to lose his job

yes he is a good manager i read that the talkover could happen this week

[G]

Southgates only got a month left of the trial period he was allowed by the prem chairmen to prove himself so it may well be him

[animal magic]

yeah not going that well for southgate

Hope Pardew turns it around. I like West Ham - a little bit anyway.

Dowie was ALWAYS gonna struggle following in Curbs footsteps. THen add in the Djimi factor........... he's doomed I tells yer.

Still think Pigeon Toes Roeder will be the first to go. Maybe Shearer can take over - the same way Southgate has at Boro........

Coleman will survive also.

Talking of clubs in turmoil - Leeds have lost 7 of their last 9 games and are still looking for a manager.........

i dont think shearer would be a good manager

But Roeder is?

[animal magic]

But Roeder is?

true

[Kaip]

Roeder for me

[Joe Le Toff]

Roeder
Southgate
Pardew/Dowie

In that order, IMO

[dww]

But Roeder is?

I don't think he is a great manager but he is a very good coach and last season did do a great job with Newcastle, when he took over they were a complete shamble. People go on about how he failed to sort the defence but when you look at their squad they have plenty of half decent defenders, not really top 10 PL class but could be moulded into a reasonable unit and no fit forwards and only one central midfielder.

His two main signings were Martins and Duff. One filled the obvious striker problem and the other seemed to go through because the price was so cheap no one could resist.

I think Southgate is the most likely to go early.

I like Roeder and think he is a good man with a lot of tactical knowledge and a good football brain, lets not forget what he achieved at West Ham the year before he took them down. Unfortunately I think he is hampered by the Johnny Big Bollocks mentality that most Newcastle players have and fans expect. Its well known that the reason that people go there is for the payday and little else and the ultimate consequence is a team of playboys who would rather play as individuals and fail then contimplate a team performance, see Luque, Dyer and Emre for reference.

If he shifts some of the dross and gets some pros in he will do a good job. Possibly win the Coca Cola Cup or something

Roeder that circus hes ringmaster at are a joke. Hate them

I wonder if WHAM and TOON fans agree with your assessment?

[Redlife]

Probably Roeder.


Newcastle haven't changed manager for a week or two.


I hear that St Mike wants to commit himself to them for life.
