Roeder - Managers losing control
Glenn Roeder says English football managers are in danger of losing control to mega-rich football club owners.

It's been a hectic week, but the future is far from bleak

Now, who to play with the target man?
September 1, 2008: Got myself a target man at last. Shacks has gone, but frankly that was always on the cards, ever since Mick rang in June. Brought in a youngster from Middlesbrough as cover.
