Zatman Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 They tried the up amd coming route then bottled it after 6 games and sacked De Boer. Not getting into a relegation battle is a successful season for Palace, they are the 5th best team in London plus the 2 Manchester teams, 2 Liverpool teams us, Wolves, Newcastle, Leeds and even Southampton. Not really sure what people think they can do more especially when they dont seem to spend a lot Palace are currently ahead of Brighton, Southampton and level with Leeds who have managers all praised for playing progressive football. Palace have taken 10 points in 5 games vs them teams this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 He was working at Villa for a while as a scout, he was supposed to be a really good coach and a nice guy If I remember he was sick when managing West Ham back in early 2000s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) From The S*N in 2018 (archive link). Quote But most Hammers supporters associate the Londoner with the misery of 2003, when West Ham were relegated from the top flight with a record 42 points. Roeder suffered a brain tumour that season, collapsing in his office moments after a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough in April and missing the final three games of the season. He was subjected to shameful chants on his return to Upton Park as Magpies boss three seasons later of ‘why didn’t you die three years ago’ and being branded ‘tumour boy’.

Well, that certainly sounds grim, and I'm predisposed to believe bad things about West Ham's terrible supporters, but do you have that reported anywhere other than the Scum? Because they're definitely not averse to outright lying about the conduct of football fans, as we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the Guardian in 2006: Quote Former Hammers boss Glenn Roeder has revealed the extent of the abuse he took during Newcastle's 2-0 win at Upton Park, claiming fans taunted him over the brain cancer he suffered while managing West Ham during their Premiership relegation season in 2003, dubbing him "tumour boy" and asking "why didn't you die three years ago?" "One of the saddest things about Sunday was that when I looked at the faces of some of the people who were shouting at me, they were men of my age," Roeder said. "Men in their forties and fifties, men screaming about brain tumours and death, men who, God forbid, might find themselves in the same position as me one day. "At least I was there to hear them yelling what they were yelling. I'm much happier that I'm alive to hear it and not lying beneath the ground somewhere. I was lying on a table for five hours when I had my brain operation and I recovered from my illness and I have moved on." Really grim.

It's been years since I heard anything quite that bad down at VP, but still, I have to say it's 50/50 on whether I leave the ground with a general loathing of people. Being an anonymous voice in a crowd really gets some people to show their true colours. I've never heard anyone with a bad word to say about Roeder which speaks volumes really.

IMO definitely roy and bruce would have been sacked, the others are debatable roy - shocking season, players arguably not playing for him anymore wilder - going down with a whimper bruce - genuine danger of relegation, awful football jose - massively underachieving arteta - should definitely be higher in the table with that squad parker - had such a bad start to the season, paddy power paid out on relegation bets after just a few games I think Wilder and Parker would still be in a job. As would Mourinho and Arteta. I get the feeling Mourinho will win the Europa Cup. Bruce would have had a few cabbages thrown at him if there were fans, but would have just stayed put.
