West Ham Online

Great insight in to what a shocking set up we were under Glenn Roeder https://youtu.be/Ph2zqQo843I?si=0OKeUrFQGQdY-iI_

His contract allowed him final say on sales and as said the sale of McCartney and Anton to Sunderland was without his agreement. That said complaining about the sale of those two for £14m is an unfortunate hill to die on. Dont think he managed again after that ... and we got McCartney back on a free 3 years later

Curbishley did the club for breach of contract and won compensation.

"Good interview that, enjoyed it, seems a funny decent guy. Only thing I think they got wrong is Curbs walked out didn't he when Anton and McCartney got sold didn't he rather than get sacked?"

"When people look back at that time and ask how could a squad that talented go down this conversation provides an answer. We were a ship of fools back then lead by the hapless Roeder who could not impose the reasonable professional disciplines much required after the excesses of the Redknapp years. That ducking and diving barrow boy, in common with others of his ilk, was more interested in lining his pockets at the club’s expense."

""" I remember the lefty element of our fanbase saying they’d boycott games and of course, never did."" There was a pathetic protest outside at the ground as well. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2003/jan/11/newsstory.sport"

Was odd that he was the only one to be found not guilty but all the protests were about him.

"Kaiser, wasn’t he acquitted of the incident he, Duberry and Woodgate were involved in? And no, the cry of racism only came up when he joined us. I remember the lefty element of our fanbase saying they’d boycott games and of course, never did."

Played football with his cousin for years... decent bloke... had a proper beak on him... went to his staggy and wedding (didn't last)... Lee bought him a toaster as a wedding present....

Remember the media stoking up some outrage that West Ham were signing a ‘racist’ Never happened at any other club he signed for?

I wonder if he might apply for the vacant job at West Ham at the end of the season.

"Always quite liked Bowyer, a good pro and was a good player."

"Enjoyed the interview. Comes across like a decent bloke, and is the first player I’ve heard tell the truth about the 02/03 relegation season."

Manuel is correct. It was a dutch construction and building services firm i was on a contract with and she came in as MD half way through

"Manuel, you really shouldn't make assumptions. They're dangerous and can lead to all sorts of misunderstandings. But yes, quite probably."

"Coffee - I assume sock meant she had no idea what she was doing in a work related arena, not in the bedroom, or a ford escort in the car park?"

riosleftsock 1:03 Wed Mar 6 That's worthy of way more than a one line post.

"Actually, the whole Iron Cast interview is well worth a watch, entertaining as well as insightful. his biggest regret (in the headline of the Podcast)? Not signing for Liverpool......... Top lad is Lee, now the manager of the mighty Monserrat trying to win a berth at the WC."

Isn’t he banged up in India?

"I inadvertently worked for his sister, very milfy tbh but had no idea what she was doing."

I bet some on here think it was better than now!

2 Big Macs please

Roeder out!
