Under Roeder, Newcastle won the [[2006 UEFA Intertoto Cup|2006 Intertoto Cup]] by virtue of being the furthest placed team to advance from the Intertoto Cup into the [[UEFA Cup]]. This made Roeder the first manager to win a trophy for Newcastle since 1969.<ref>{{cite news|title= Newcastle to lift Intertoto Cup|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=18 November 2007|date=16 December 2006|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/6185511.stm

Roeder's fortune didn't improve, as Newcastle's league form was inconsistent, due in large part to first-team player injuries and having to rely on inexperienced players from United's Youth Academy to compete at top flight level, with Newcastle maintaining a mid-table position. After guiding Newcastle to just one win in ten games, Roeder was summoned to an emergency board meeting on 6 May 2007.<ref>[http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=465263&CPID=8&clid=4&lid=4161&title=Roeder+summoned+by+board Roeder summoned by board]{{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} - Sky Sports, 6 May 2007</ref> It was revealed he had resigned with immediate effect.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=465269&CPID=8&clid=4&lid=2&title=Roeder+leaves+Newcastle&channel=football_home& |title=Roeder leaves Newcastle |work=[[Sky Sports]] |date=6 May 2007 |accessdate=6 May 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070508110420/http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=465269&CPID=8&clid=4&lid=2&title=Roeder+leaves+Newcastle&channel=football_home& |archivedate=8 May 2007 |deadurl=yes |df=dmy }}</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/6630751.stm Roeder resigns as Newcastle boss] - BBC Sport, 6 May</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,2483_2111451,00.html|title=Roeder quits Toon post - Reports|work=teamtalk.com|accessdate=6 May 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_2111425,00.html|title=ROEDER LEAVES MAGPIES - REPORTS|work=football365.com|accessdate=6 May 2007|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070508055718/http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_2111425,00.html|archivedate=8 May 2007|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=
Roeder won 45% of his matches, enough in a single season to qualify for European competition.<ref>[[Newcastle United F.C.]]</ref> His departure was met with a mixed reaction from fans. Whilst some fans acknowledged the difficulties he faced in keeping senior players uninjured and respected his achievements as a defender in the 1980s, other fans were further intrigued by the availability of [[Sam Allardyce]] who had resigned from [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] just weeks before.

}}</ref> Both Roeder and assistant [[Lee Clark (footballer)|Lee Clark]] reacted angrily to Bristol City being awarded a 91st minute free kick from which they scored the winner. Clark was given a one-match touchline ban and fined £500 for his part in the incident. They were both warned by [[The FA]] about their future conduct.
In May 2008 a few days after the last game of the season Roeder decided not to renew fans favourite [[Darren Huckerby]]'s contract which angered many supporters as they were unable to give him a proper sendoff. He brought in a number of loan players in the summer which again did not please supporters. Norwich made a difficult start to the 2008/09 season although there were some good results including a 5-2 win against top of the table Wolves in October. After that result, however, Norwich entered a poor run of form. A 2-0 win against local rivals Ipswich in the East Anglian Derby at the start of December helped to briefly relieve the pressure on Roeder, however after this Norwich won one further league game under his management against bottom of the league Charlton at Carrow Road in December. January began with a draw away at Charlton in the FA cup and a loss to Sheffield United. When the team lost the FA Cup third round replay 1-0 at Carrow Road against Charlton, who had not won in 18 games, Roeder was sacked the following day.<ref>http://www.canaries.co.uk/page/NewsDetails/0,,10355~1519768,00.html</ref>
