He is now blaming Redknapp for the 5-0 and 7-1 losses. Redknapp says:

"Glenn should stop making excuses and get on with the job. "It is disgusting the way he keeps blaming everything around him for what's going on. "It's absolute rubbish to suggest the rot set in when I was there. He's got Joe Cole, Michael Carrick, Trevor Sinclair and Freddie Kanoute - all absolutely top class players - but he's blaming everyone but himself. "The fact is there is no excuse for getting beat 7-1. Accept it. He's saying he wants more money for players but the board have backed him. He's spent £14million on players already this season. "How many managers can spend that these days? Ask Dave Bassett at Leicester if he would like to spend £14million. Ask Stuart Gray at Southampton if he would like to spend £14million. "Glenn is saying he can't shift a lot of the players that are there, but he was on the coaching staff when they came in."

I couldnt agree more!

What a tosser, it seems like it's only a matter of time before he gets the boot.

Is Roeder taking Tosser lessons or is this a natural talent?

Embarassingly out of his depth, seemingly. A real shame, as I think most people, especially Toon fans, had quite a lot of respect for him a few months ago.

Absolutely Pete, I was hoping he would make a success of it for a couple of years and then possibly take over from YBR. Now I've found out that he's a complete to$$er - maybe he would have been good for Manchester United.

He could always sell some of his players to us. Di Canio, Sinclair, Cole, Carrick, I'm sure these guys are the ones who are most to blame for the recent defeats. Therefore I suggest he removes these players from the team ASAP.

..... as someone has said, the lad is way out of his depth, and apart from when they humiliated us, I don't the players are playing for him. He won't last much longer I'm afraid.
