Glen Roeder sacked

[sligoman]

Just announced on Sky news that Roeder's been sacked by Newcastle. A statement is expected shortly.

Big Sam at the front gates I reckon.

The barcodes sack a manager, surprise, surprise. Fat Sam and them will be a marriage made in heaven.

sheppard takes the easy option again, takes no blame himself

[gustavo]

Other websites reporting that he resigned. Doubt Michael Owen would suit Fat Sams style of play

[beautifulrock]

true, Owen is about 2 foot too small for Sams idea of a centre forward. Ok where is Kevin Davies ??

[feo123]

it wasn't all route 1 football at bolton though, and to be fair to him no matter how he done it, he has brought bolton from division one and then relegation battlers into european contenders every season

[Terry]

they are saying on the english news websites that he resigned and not sacked that is stated here in the title of the thread ?????

[feo123]

id say he was told by sheppard he was getting sacked after the game next week so another manager could come in, and the just decided to walk...

[RogerMilla]

i'm sure FFS paid him off , no way you would just resign , not with the compensation you would be due. the first F of that acronym stands for fat by the way , you'll figure the rest out !!

[OwlsFan]

Newcastle are one of the few clubs in the Premiership who are big enough to break the hegemony of the top 4 and with a decent manager they should start knocking on the door.

[shakermaker1982]

at least he'll sort New Utd's defence out.

[Steve Bruce]

Anyone would be better than Roader.

He has no charisma, no drive, doesn't smile etc etc. How can some one like him lift a team? He couldn't.

Allerdyce would turn Newcastle around. He'll have a budget he has never had before and he will be able to attract good players to.

Next season to me is a write off, the season after that though I would expect a top 6 finish and then the gap to get closed every season after that with the top 4.
