Roeder will have to go, it's just a question of when.

In my experience as a fan, managers can't and don't survive Roeder's current position. Cracks normally start to appear when generally accepted decent players (Hoolahan, Bell etc) start to underperform and then get left out of the team. Then the manager begins to publicly slate the players before turning on the supporters. In nearly all the City managers I can remember who've been sacked, this has been a pattern.
