Why? Because I think he did a fine job at the academy. Got them to one FA Youth Cup semi final and then the youngsters he recruited got us to another FA Youth Cup semi final this year.

Any reasons for the resignation yet.

I'd love him to continue at the Academy in some capacity but I can't see that happening.

We don't need a new manager thread. I mean face it all we are gonna talk about this week is the new manager, there aren't any other pionts of discussion.

Either Pearson or the new manager.

Koeman would be brilliant for us. I'd much prefer him to Big Sam.

I hope Carr fucks off. Fat Cunt.

Not sure whether to hope he has or hasn't signed a pre-contract with us. On one hand if he has signed then it is a good new addition for us and he is tied down but on the other hand if he was coming because of Roeder it will be very awkward for him now with a new manager.

I think it's just a case of jumping before he was pushed.

Better off with Shearer than Pearce.

Or the fact that you can't just sack Roeder and his staff without filing proper paperwork and tieing up all the loose ends, which could take 3 or 4 hours.

It will be Big Sam in my opinion. However personally I would rather have Sven, Van Gaal, Houlier or someone like that.

Only if the new manager has plans for the summer transfer window.

I genuinely think if he'd won just one of his last few games he wouldn't have been sacked.

I'd only keep Carr because of his new found ability to cover at LB. He wouldn't be my starting RB but I think he'd be decent as a backup for both RB and LB.

He's been decent for us this season but he must be 31/32 and can't have many more seasons left in him. If we got a decent bid I think it should be seriously considered.

I wouldn't mind being nearly bankrupt for a few years in exchange for 5 trophies in 3 years.

Forget the talk of a new manager, lets talk about the players. Who do you think realistically should be shipped out this summer. My list would be: Babayaro - Not good enough and is very injury prone. As soon as we bring a new LB in I'd ship him out. Bramble - Completely and utterly useless. I'll be fuming if we renew his contract Moore - Not good enough + getting old = No new contract Onyewu - Not been particularly good and we can get better Zog - Don't know what has happened to him but he has been useless all season and will only decrease in value the longer we keep him Dyer - Massive wages and has consistantly failed us in the big games. Also he has no position, Milner is better on the right, he'd be like 4/5th choice striker and he won't get a start in centre midfield. If we can get £5 million I'd get shot. Emre - His free kicks and corners are piss poor and he is not the cultured creative midfielder some make him out to be. He can have 10 mins of a game where he is brilliant but then he'll have 20 mins where he gives the ball away and won't track back and that often costs us dearly. Narrowly escaping the chop are - Carr, Butt, Duff and Sibierski.

Out of those two I'd have Sven. But I don't want either of them.

McCathy was offside apparently.

He's crap. Unless Carr gets injured in the next week I think he's played his last game for us.

2-0 win for us I say.

Theo Walcott is another of Clifford gaduates.
