Now that former Clarets number two Glen Roeder has got the massive job of keeping West Ham in the Premiership, I'm sure most Clarets fans don't envy him a bit.
He is the one, along with Chris Waddle, who almost took us down to the Third Division.
He is also the person who said Glen Little wasn't fit to lace Chris Waddle's boots and when asked at a fans forum where little was, said: 'At home watching Eastenders'!
After almost five months of the 1997-98 season Messers Waddle and Roeder decided to play Glen against Watford at Turf Moor. The score: 2-0.
Glen had a stormer and after that game was more or less a regular in the team.
After we beat Plymouth 2-1 in the final game of the season to stay up, Roeder walked half the length of the pitch to shake Glen Little's hand.
He had to admit that Glen could play a bit.
I'm sure all West Ham fans are looking forward to welcoming Glen Roeder as manager -- I don't think.
Fancy a flutter? West Ham to get relegated. You can't fail!
