Exactly, everything is relative.

If you finish 4th from bottom with a squad who by all rights should have been relegated then obviously you have done a hell of a job.

If you had a great squad witha ton of money to spend and finish mid table then obviously you have done very badly.

People only look at wins and losses. And thats fair enough to some degree.

I think the time a manager should go is when he stops taking us forward. (improving based on resources)

Now for GR that moment may be now.
As I said, Im still undecided.

Part of me wants to see a bit more hoping it will turn around.
Part of me thinks that sacking him now will let the new manager use the transfer window.

        I think we need to get out of this cycle of sacking the manager every 18 months or less (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 21:59:35
        
        I don't know why but roeder just doesn't seem to be able to get this squad to click (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jan 10, 22:06:19
        
        Yes we do need to get out of that cycle. Just (NCFC) - BillySteele, Jan 10, 22:02:36
        
        Roeder may well turn out to be that one. He hasn't had a full season here yet (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 22:05:19

        Doesn't mean it will necessarily happen here (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 22:10:51
        
        well he's giving it a fucking good go (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 10, 22:11:35
        
        I'm convinced he isn't trying to get us relegated. (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 22:13:16
        
        well indeed (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 10, 22:14:32

        so what? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 10, 22:05:49
        
        So what? I was just pointimg out that you were wrong in calling him incompetent (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 22:07:51
        
        well why was he in the guardian list (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 10, 22:11:08
        
        Use your own judgement. Was he incompetent last season when he kept us up? (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 22:12:44
        
        from leicester onwards yes (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 10, 22:16:11
        
        So that's a "no" then. Although you seem to have great difficulty in admitting it. (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 22:18:20
