Not at all. Roeder was thought by Newcastle and West Ham fans to be too nice

And too weak. He'd never shown any sign of the incredibly arrogant streak he displayed here. But what happened fortified the board all the more. Instead of concluding that something was obviously wrong with a selection process which had led them to Grant and Roeder, and that both were simply crap managers, they simply figured that neither understood the club. Hence the need for someone who bleeds yellow and green.

That's not really based on speculation on my part. It's based on things Munby and especially Doncaster said.
