I hesitate to say this

but GR moved to Director of Football?? It seems to me that he has made some sensible and good signings, given the budget, but the man management seemed to be best-handled by Clark (now gone obviously) and Stephenson. I don't think either Sadler or Stephenson seem ready to be full-on manager, but if we lifted Roeder away from the hands-on stuff (including the press/fan liaison and away from day-to-day player contact) I wonder if there's someone who could step in in the middle - not necessarily high-profile but just a good coach and tactician who will get the points we need. Minimises disruption but might just inject some much-needed sense, and some life!

  - Because it riles up the fans a bit more? (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 11:58:32
    - Most of our points last season came when he wasn't in the team (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:16:46
      - he was injured for most of it...we're not exactly flying high without him (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:23:47

        he was injured for most of it (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:27:22
        
        until the end when he came back strong (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:29:15
        
        Was our best player in the final few games when he'd got over his niggling injuries. (n/m) (NCFC) - HoofinHughes, Jan 5, 12:32:37
        
        he made little impact the last three seasons he was with us though (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:35:26
        
        Anyone who can fit four season into the last three seasons must be signed! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:38:20
        
        Easy - osmosis (n/m) (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:46:05
        
        Yet in the last 10 games we got 9 points? (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:35:09
        
        a bit shocking really...who would keep a manager with such an horrific record? (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:37:51
        
        big improvement then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:36:58
        
        The same innit. Which is my point. I'm obviously a troll though (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:37:54
        
        I see (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:39:21
        
        The facts speak for themselves (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:42:08

        Can't see myself going again (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:29:03
        
        fair enough (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:36:19
        
        no (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:39:16
        
        oh (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:41:03
      - To back that up do you have an analysis f average points per game when he (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:23:30
        
        it's just based on the 1 game pants saw last season (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:31:13
      - wasn't he injured for much of the season? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:21:15
      - you're right (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:20:36
        
        he made little impact the last three seasons he was with us though (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:31:25
        
        debatable if you can call that little impact really... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:37:17

        ok, I got the whooosh wrong too (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:59:19
        
        I'm pretty sure MBK was in support of Hucks leaving (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:40:17
        
        So was I, sort of. (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:42:55
        
        as was i, sort of, eventually, after I'd blubbed a bit. (NCFC) - megson, Jan 5, 12:51:00
        
        statto (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:32:36
        
        and that's 4 anyway (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:33:08
        
        I know. (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:34:06
        
        but how does that compare with the other players (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:37:06
        
        Of course they are. It's the rose-tinted remembrance that annoys me. For the last two (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:41:36
        
        I know (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:46:23
        
        top 6 in the bottom half probably, but that would still be welcome (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:36:02
        
        sarcasm is naughty (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:22:19
        
        lol (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:22:17
      - Those results came just after we'd appointed a new manager (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 12:19:02
        
        or we could end up appointing Phil Parkinson... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jan 5, 12:22:28
        
        Which entirely proves my point (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 12:25:18
        
        I hesitate to say this (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:34:17
        
        Not sure it works with a manager who is not in control of transfers (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:36:34
        
        Wouldn't necessarily have to controle transfers, just deal with managers requests. (NCFC) - megson, Jan 5, 12:41:26
        
        working at Peterborough! (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:38:04
        
        nothing to do with them being loaded then i guess (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jan 5, 12:42:53
        
        are they *that* loaded (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:48:12
        
        i think by League One and League Two standards they've spent heavily (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jan 5, 13:11:45
        
        But I wonder how the manager feels about that > (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:39:51
        
        Great I suspect (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 12:49:50
        
        I'm basing all this on an interview with Fry on the radio at the w/e (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:53:18
    - Is it honestly another nail in his coffin though? I doubt it. (n/m) (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 11:59:30
      - i don't see it as a slight on Roeder (NCFC) - south, Jan 5, 12:12:38
        
        i think he's given a bit more detail on why he's not training at Colney (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jan 5, 12:16:27
      - Well, it doesn't help (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 12:00:48
  - It might be a hobnail in a chimbley sweep's boot. (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 11:56:52
- It's a year on since I sat at Bramall Lane, watching Huckerby not track back (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 11:52:38
- Not really, just rehashing the same old story again. (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 11:52:01
  - Just the timing of it being put out... (NCFC) - DemoniCanary, Jan 5, 11:58:05
