Don't see the problem in him doing some scouting for us. 
I would prefer him doing some roadie works for Muse.  He might have a chance to get on stage & do some gigs.

When your in the position we're currently in, enlisting someone so readily indentified with failure is hardly a positive move.

The only thing that ratty looking fucker will bring to the club is Weil's disease.

His CV is like a cesspit in word form.

How can they possibly take seriously his opinion on other teams?

I have stopped listening to any pre-, during, or post-match analysis of any sort. I sit down to watch a game as the teams come out, go to the loo at half time or do the washing up and turn off immediately the final whistle sounds. Works a treat!

And I thought it was just me. (Not the washing up bit obviously)

I read the headline and thought we'd signed him up as emergency cover at centre half.

Not an appointment to set many pulses racing

Gerard hands copies of the dossier to the players and says "right lads, read that and then make sure you do the exact opposite of whatever Glen suggests.", that might work.

As a player you would have zero respect for what Roeder thinks, he couldn't organise a two car funeral.

Whenever I picture Glenn Roeder, I can't help but think of him as a poster child for erectile dysfunction. His middle name should be flaccid. Do I want him at the club? No. Is he gonna make things worse or better? I don't think he'll make any difference whatsoever.

He's scouting. He's not coaching, training or managing. Get a grip.

Hmmm, an experienced former player, coach and manager doing a bit of scouting for us? This has got disaster written all over it....  ;)

His name is synonymous with failure and relegation. We need winners around the club, not losers

I thought that but no, it appears that people really have got their knickers in a twist over a relatively minor appointment.

Possibly because he's the football equivalent of the Grim Reaper.
His middle name is Victor, it should be Jonah.
