Not Good Enough For West Ham or Newcastle, But Good Enough For Norwich?
October 31, 2007
It is a good time for managers with seemingly no achievements under their belt. Not only if Gary Megson now in charge of Nicolas Anelka, but now the man with the face of a librarian and the voice of Stuart Pearce is back in employment, yep someone loves Glenn Roeder and that someone is Norwich chairman Robert Munby. Let’s just have Munby confirm that:
“After a lengthy and diligent search I’m more than delighted to confirm Glenn Roeder is the board’s unanimous choice as the next Norwich City manager.”
How diligent the search was we are not sure, but judging by what they found we get the impression that Munby is the sort of person who would spend 20 minutes looking for his glasses when they are on the top of his head.
But is this all a little unfair on Roeder, who did have one good season at West Ham and wasn’t that bad at Newcastle? Will he show us his worth as a football manager? Any words of wisdom for the Norwich fans on what to expect?

As a West Ham I can safely say Norwich are well and truly wotsited
I’m a hammer, but I’ve always quite liked Norwich - it’s a nice part of the world.
They don’t deserve Roeder, he has failed to build for the future at any club he’s been at - in fact quite the reverse. He brings in big names who are past their best and has no idea how to deal with ‘flair players’. He was lucky at Newcastle because Souness had got rid of all the talanted one’s before Roeder even arrived. At West Ham, after one good season, he took us down. A side that featured half the current England team and Paolo Di Canio!
If Norwich beat the drop this season mid-table mediocrity is the best you can hope for next.
I’m just hoping that we can ride it out on the “new manager glow”. Mid-table mediocrity is far and away an acceptable place to be at the moment.
God help you
