A friend of mine was playing for Gillingham when he took over, was billed as one of the best asian prospects in the game. Zak, was the top scorer for the team, was only 18yrs old and was being courted by West Ham, Southampton, Leicester and a few others. He played in the same youth teams for the borough as Sol Campbell, Muzzy Izzet and a few others I can't remember, and he always stood out as the better player. Then guess what happened.... Good old Roeder comes in, drops him, doesn't even give him a look in, refuses to let him leave for a loan spell. Keeps him hanging on for the rest of that season & the next, but still refused to play him. From what i've been told, the man is a total numpty, clueless, no man management skills, and loves the sound of his own voice. But that's from an aggrieved player.
