==Surname sort==

playername = Glenn Roeder |

The default sort is by squad number, but only 2 players are shown with a number, 20 have no number. This is unusual as no other squad list has more numberless unless the whole squad is numberless.

So I went with the majority and sorted by surname. The club article has no squad numbers shown at all, so this sort method seems to make sense. &nbsp;<font face="verdana">[[User:Slumgum|slυмgυм]]<small>&nbsp;[[User talk:Slumgum|[&nbsp;←]][[Special:Contributions/Slumgum|→&nbsp;]]]</small></font> 17:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

'''Glenn Victor Roeder''', (born [[December 13]] [[1955]] in [[Woodford]] [[Essex]]), is an [[England|English]] [[football (soccer)|football]] manager and former player. He is currently the manager of [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]], having been appointed officially on [[May 16]], [[2006]] after a successful three-month spell as [[caretaker manager]]. As a player, Roeder represented [[England national football team (B)|England B]] on 7 occasions.

==Playing career==

Roeder began his playing career as a classy ball-playing defender at [[Leyton Orient F.C.]] before moving to [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.]] where he captained them in the [[1982]] [[FA Cup Final]] but sensationally missed the replay due to suspension picked up some weeks earlier. In [[1984]] he was transferred to [[Newcastle United]], where he made close to 200 appearances during his 5 years at the club. It was during this period he was famed for his shuffle, known as the "Roeder Shuffle", a smart stepover which he used to extricate himself from numerous tight spots. Roeder finished his playing career with a two year spell at [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] followed by a 6 game stint at [[Gillingham F.C.|Gillingham]], whom he had joined as player-manager.

==Early management: Gillingham and Watford==

Roeder spent only one season as manager of [[Gillingham F.C.|Gillingham]], during which time he led the side to 13 wins in 51 games and saw them finish second from bottom of the Football League, escaping relegation after winning against bottom club {{fc|Halifax Town}} on the final day of the season. To the dismay of the Gillingham fans, after [[Steve Perryman]]'s dismissal, Roeder was hired as the new manager of his former club, [[Watford F.C.|Watford]], at the start of the [[1993]]/[[1994|94]] season. In his second season with Watford he almost took the side to the play-offs, eventually finishing just one place outside them. However, he was sacked in February [[1996]] as the side were struggling near the bottom of the [[Football League First Division|First Division]]. His replacement, [[Graham Taylor (football manager)|Graham Taylor]], was unable to prevent the side from being relegated.

==West Ham, relegation and illness==

Roeder spent the next five years as a coach with both England and West Ham before being given another opportunity at management. Following West Ham's failure to attract either [[Alan Curbishley]] or [[Steve McClaren]] as replacements for the recently departed [[Harry Redknapp]], Roeder, who was Youth Team coach acting as caretaker-manager, was appointed as West Ham's new manager in the summer of [[2001]]. In the second half of that season he took West Ham to 7th in the Premiership.

The following season, 2002/2003, he signed [[Tomas Repka]] for about £5 million, [[David James (footballer)|David James]] from [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] for around £2 million and [[Don Hutchison]] from [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] for around £5 Million. David James was injured on international duty and was out for months before he could play for West Ham, Tomas Repka had serious disiplinary problems and Don Hutchison turned out to be a injury-prone flop on his second spell with the club.

Due to injuries to [[Paolo Di Canio]] and [[Frédéric Kanouté]]'s personal problems, Roeder was forced to play a young [[Jermain Defoe]] up front on his own. As the season became more desperate, the team resorted to playing direct, long ball football to Defoe, who struggled in this position. Roeder also struggled with a very small squad, only just managing to field a first eleven at times.

West Ham were bottom at Christmas and at that time no team had avoided relegation from that postion. Despite the January signings of [[Rufus Brevett]] and [[Lee Bowyer]] on a short-term deal and the best efforts of Sir Trevor Brooking in the last few games, the team was relegated from the Premiership.

On [[April 21]] [[2003]], whilst West Ham were battling to remain in the [[FA Premier League]], Roeder collapsed in his office due to a [[brain tumour]]. After taking the rest of the season off he returned to manage the side at the start of the next season. However, after a poor start in the First Division, Roeder was sacked by the newly relegated side on [[August 24]] [[2003]].

==Newcastle United==

After nearly two years out of the game, he returned to football in June 2005 when he was named youth-development manager of [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]]. When [[Graeme Souness]] was sacked as Newcastle manager in February 2006, Roeder was appointed caretaker manager, with striker [[Alan Shearer]] as his assistant. He was able to spectacularly turn the Magpies' season around, rescuing them from near the foot of the table to finish 7th in the Premiership with a place in the [[Intertoto Cup]].

[[Freddy Shepherd]], Newcastle United's chairman, consequently named Roeder as first in line to become full-time manager at the club, on condition that Newcastle obtain [[dispensation]] from the FA Premier League to allow Roeder to continue without the mandatory [[UEFA Pro Licence]]. Newcastle claim exceptional circumstances as Roeder was halfway to gaining the licence when he suffered his brain tumour.

The Premier League at first rejected Newcastle's request on [[3 May]] [[2006]], the organisation had little choice, as they are bound by UEFA rules. However, Freddy Shepherd lobbied his fellow chairmen and they voted in favour of Roeder being allowed to gain the correct licence while in the job.

A press conference was held on [[16 May]] [[2006]], in which Roeder was introduced as the new manager and signed a two year contract. <ref name="Appointment">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/4770157.stm "Roeder named as Newcastle manager"] - BBC News, May 16 </ref> On [[June 1]] [[2006]], Roeder appointed [[Kevin Bond (footballer)|Kevin Bond]] as his assistant. Roeder had worked with Bond at [[West Ham United|West Ham]] where Bond was a scout. Roeder believed the two of them work well together, however Bond's contract at the club was terminated after allegations he was prepared to take bungs for players whilst at [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]]. [[Lee Clark]] was also appointed first team coach on the same day.

On the [[22nd October]] [[2006]], Roeder announced that, [[Middlesbrough F.C.|ex-Middlesbrough]] player and recent care-taker manager of [[West Bromwich Albion|West Brom]], [[Nigel Pearson]] would be his new assistant manager. It is rumoured that Pearson turned down many other clubs, including the chance to manage [[Sheffield Wednesday]] in order to work with Roeder.

Roeder's position looked in danger during the first half of the 2006/07 season after a series of poor performances by what is seen by some as one of the weakest Newcastle sides in years, especially the defenders [[Celestine Babayaro]], [[Titus Bramble]] and [[Stephen Carr]]. Bramble in particular is seen as the weak link of the team due to many lapses early on in the season.

After the 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United at home on [[November 4]], [[2006]], there was a huge fan protest outside St. James' Park, that was shown live on [[Sky]] channel [[PremPlus]]. However, notably much of the fans' criticism was directed at the chairman, [[Freddy Shepherd]], and not specifically at the manager himself. Many of the fans showed they would like Shepherd to leave the club as they believe his decisions on appointing new managers have been poor.

It is believed Roeder will keep his job at least until the end of the January transfer window.

[[Alan Shearer]] commented on [[BBC's]] [[Match of the Day]] "the problem before was Newcastle were conceding at the back, but they were still scoring upfront, but now they haven't got anybody to score goals, so they are going to have to buy in the transfer window."

[[Shearer]] also said that a new manager won't solve the problem for Newcastle, as there are too many injuries.

Since the defeat to Sheffield United, Newcastle's form has slowly picked up. Roeder was forced to create a newlook defence due to injuries, which paved the way for young academy players such as [[Paul Huntington]] and [[David Edgar (footballer)|David Edgar]] to make some impact on the first team. Summer signing [[Obafemi Martins]] has also hit an impressive run of form, proving many critics wrong. Since then they have progressed to the next rounds in both the league cup and the UEFA cup whilst their league position has improved to 11th with a draw at Arsenal followed by victories against Portsmouth, Reading, Blackburn Rovers and Tottenham.

Under Roeder's guidance, Newcastle won the 2006-2007 [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]].
