ohhh_yeah 2795 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Roeder hits out at Toon tragedy Glenn Roeder has labelled Newcastle "a tragedy" going "from one disaster to another" as Kevin Keegan's position as manager remains unclear. Keegan was widely reported to be on his way out of St James' Park but two ambiguous statements from the club insist he has neither resigned nor been sacked, with talks about his future ongoing. Roeder, manager of Newcastle in 2006-07 and currently in charge at Norwich, told BBC Radio Five Live: "The club is a tragedy and it goes from one disaster to another. "There's no stability at the club and I don't think there has been for a long time. They go from one manager to another and the people who suffer the most are the most important people, the supporters. Roeder added: "When they talk about Newcastle being a great club, it's only great for one reason - because it has great supporters."

ewerk 26871 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) They're all coming out of the woodwork today. Edit: Though to be fair Roeder's is just a quick comment rather than that twat Allardyce giving a full interview.

Guest alex Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Heard this on 5Live. What Roeder said was fair enough and he seemed genuinely concerned for the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stevie Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 They're all coming out of the woodwork today. Edit: Though to be fair Roeder's is just a quick comment rather than that twat Allardyce giving a full interview. I predicted FSA's comments a few days ago, but to be fair, I think for once his interview was reasonable saying we should be one of the top four clubs in this country. As for Roeder he's right what he's saying, I've got enormous respect for Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 (edited) In all honesty we could do worse than someone like Roeder as chairman, waffle on pleasantly and keep everyone happyish, whilst Keegan gets on with the real job.

OTF 6397 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Problem was, Roeder was allowed to go after his own men, and despite plenty of promises that we'd see new faces we got Sibierksi and Bernard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, because Roeder has no knowledge of NUFC prior to that. I love how it galls people like you when comments like this are made though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting for Fat Freddy Shepherd's tell all auto-biography in which he releases the names of all the great world class manmagers that were queuing up for our manager's job after Sourmess was shown the door.

Chaser 1079 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I cant see why the Spuds WUM needs come on here. Its a Newcastle forum for Newcastle supporters.

I dont mind the odd fan from other clubs coming on providing a reasoned argument or wanting information but when their sole purpose is to come on and get bites, its just tiresome I like Danny. He's an eternal optimist. All that talk of how much better they'd done during the window, how they were a draw for better players and how they were moving up. The trophies they won pre-season, the goals they were scoring for fun. He's not shown a hint of embarrassment at their complete failure to live up to his and all their fans' expectations. And it's to his credit. Don't ever develop a sense of self-awareness Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6321 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Agree totally with what Glenn is saying... sadly, he'll just be viewed by everyone but the supporters as another bitter ex-manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
