Reports from London can't confirm, but story is Roeder had a heart attack after today's game. People are checking on the guy. I wanted him out, but not this way. Prayers for the Roeders and Glenn
Nothing on BBC, Skysports or soccernet yet... Prayers with the Roeder family and the West Ham "family" in general...
I'm getting brain hemmorage stories out of London now. Hopefully he'll pull through. My uncle had one of these 30 years ago and returned to work a few months later, totally kicks ass today at 75+ years old.
Nothing new to report, but its nice to see fans of other teams rally around the man. He may be a lousy manager, but everyone says he is a great man.
Wow, talk about a potential rallying point for the team. What better present could they give the guy to get him better? Here's hoping it's not something serious and that he's back up and at 'em soon.
Yes, it would be a great get well present. Except the club may look up it as "We won without him - he's out". In any prayers for the family, club and man.

Blocked blood vessel in brain... LONDON (Reuters) - West Ham United manager Glenn Roeder remains in a stable condition in hospital as tests reveal he has a blocked blood vessel in his brain. "Mr Glenn Roeder continues to be in a stable condition and continues to make satisfactory progress," the Royal London Hospital said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Roeder family would again like to thank supporters and people within the football world who have sent goodwill messages and to thank people for respecting their privacy. whufc.com
I hope that he gets well from this. Although I'd rather not see him back as WHU manager, I want to see him in good health - regardless of his lack of success coaching the side. I know what I am about to say may lack propriety, but I can't help but wonder if this minor stroke might inspire the side to win its last few games (they only have three remaining, yes?) and with some luck, avoid relegation. So it just might turn out to be a "stroke of luck". Literally! Sorry to make light of other people's illnesses, but it could well be that what happened to Roeder may well be West Ham's salvation!
You are not alone in your feelings. Many West Ham supporters are hoping the team finally shows its true colors and wins one for the Glenner. Another thing is the board may now have their escape in the Roeder situation. If he can no longer manager the insurance policy (disibility policy) would take hold and the insurance company would be on the hook for his salary, freeing the club to hire a new manager. Tricky situation, but the main thing is for Roeder to recover.
Trevor Brooking interested in helping out with the last three matches... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/2969187.stm
Superstar from when we were good and actually winning stuff. He's never managed a team before, has done TV work and some stuff like that. Revered by Hammers as a skillful player and sound guy. Not sure if this works out any better for us.
We get to see if he can turn his playing success into managerial triumph because Trevor Brooking has been selected as caretaker manager.
