Best wishes to Roeder

Last Updated : 22-Apr-2003 by

I was putting the finishing touches to an article about him last night, getting it all ready to put on site once West Ham’s relegation was confirmed. It was something that I predicted would happen as soon as they appointed him as manager.

But it all seems pointless now, things have all been put into perspective with the news that Glenn Roeder has been taken ill.

He was complaining of chest pains after West Ham beat Middlesbrough yesterday and was rushed to hospital. Today there has been good news in that he is not suffering from any heart problem.

We don’t suddenly think you did a good job at Burnley and we haven’t suddenly become Glenn Roeder fans but Clarets Mad were shocked to hear of your collapse and would like to send you our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
