Guest Hodgson09 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 from www.nufc.com Announcement: Waiting over for Roeder The announcement of Glenn Roeder's appointment has finally come as Freddy Shepherd has rewarded the caretaker manager for his remarkable turnaround of the club's fortunes. Shepherd said about the appointment: "In the end results are the most important thing in football and Glenn Roeder certainly did that for us. In fact managers stand and fall by results and you could say Glenn won the job." "Glenn has done the job with dignity and decorum. He now has a two year contract and both of us are happy at that. I must say that Glenn Roeder was our captain and a great servant as a player and he has a great feel for this football club." A year ago Glenn Roeder strode onto the pitch at St.James' Park to take a generous round of applause from a capacity crowd. The occasion? Newcastle were entertaining Champions Chelsea in the final game of the season but Roeder's moment in the spotlight was as "half-time hero" and the acclaim came from those who hadn't shuffled off to the bogs or the bar for a beer or bovril. Twelve months later, former Academy Manager Roeder, has been given the task of leading Newcastle United into Europe and to a serious trophy challenge, rather than grooming youngsters for someone else's first team. It's an unlikely story and one that will hopefully have a happy ending. Freddy Shepherd said this was the biggest decision in the club's history and the three and a half month deliberation process was seen as essential to ensure this club got back amongst the top four again. Roeder deserves a place in the history of this club for what he managed to do last season and for his achievements as player and captain. If he can follow in Joe Harvey's footsteps - another centre half and captain - and bring a trophy to the club then he will become a true Newcastle legend.

Skirge Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Aye the "Roeder has won the job" comment was from last week was it not? I wonder if we will get any more news in the PC or will it be Roeder only and no signing news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Just been confirmed on SSN for 10.30am - that bloke's standing outside SJP in the cold again, saying how it's a popular choice with the fans, appointing Roeder - apparently you only have to look at the text comments section in the Ronny Gill to realise how popular this adopted Geordie boy is...no mention yet of contract term, but if anyone's thinking "babysitter" or "seat-warmer" I think you're probably right. Roeder's been hobbled for Shearer's return to management... blueno.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
