Nagle should rethink his Twitter posting. It's good to be fully open when necessary and it allows the fans a place to draw his attention to matters at the club that may need sorting out.
But what does it achieve for him to bemoan a defeat, poor performances, etc, on there? He's just stating the obvious. If he needs to he can phone the manager directly and speak to him one on one. Owners and managers need to have some mutual trust and respect between each other.
Moore wasn't the right man for the job and tweets or no tweets wouldn't have changed that fact. But a more talented and confident boss may just have a go back at Mr Nagle, which will only lead to more chaos at the club.

Sure he did, and to be fair it would have been but for the injury situation hes had to contend with. He didnt cope well with it, and we wont get to know now how he'd have done with a better squad with striker options. Thank god! Would you have been saying 'thank god' had we sacked Corboran at the end of 20/21 after his dismal run of 3 wins in 24 games and didnt back him to see what he would do once we'd given him a much stronger squad? Many would have been, me included, and how wrong wed have been. Moore, like Corboran, showed he wasnt very good at all in a bad injury crisis...learning from the Corboran situation, Id have liked to see what he'd do with a proper squad to select from as his previous record showed it could be very good. He only had it for 2 games ( proper striker options) and we should really have had 2 excellent away wins from them, so the early signs were actually good. |

All this airing his thoughts in public is really not helpful to anyone, manager or players, and is just playing up to the crowd like he thinks hes in some sort of TV popularity contest where he could be voted off unless he says what he thinks the audience want to hear. He needs to give it a rest IMO. |

I am enjoying KN's Twitter output... an honest refreshing change. But... a couple of things:
1. I think that he would have given Moore time to work with the new signings and seen what the outcome was by the end of February. Social media, whether he would admit it or not, changed his mind.
2. Dean Hoyle also used to interact with DATM... in fact he once sent me a message, but he rarely posted. However, DH soon realised that paying attention to posts on message boards such as this can drive you crazy when you are trying to make decisions in the best interests of the club. Therefore, he stopped coming on here.
This is only going to end one way... KN will soon realise that reaching out to fans through social media does not work in the long run.

Leon Wobschall in today's Yorkshire Post. Comment: Whether Darren Moore deserved to be sacked by Huddersfield Town or not, he did not deserve the online criticism he received from some supporters. Who cannot fail to have been moved by the recent footage of a young Sheffield Wednesday fan presenting a hamper of sweets he had bought with his Christmas money to Coventry City Kasey Palmer, victim of some heinous racial abuse in a league game at Hillsborough earlier this month, for instance. Unfortunately, there’s another bleaker side to interactive technology. Instead of delighting in human behaviour, it increasingly provokes emotions which also demean, disrespect and destroy, in some cases. Darren Moore’s tenure at Huddersfield Town ended on Monday. It was not a particular shock, in truth. It was the prerogative of the Championship club after a return of just three wins in 23 matches. Some - including this reporter - felt that Moore deserved a bit longer with new signings still bedding in and players gradually returning from a treatment room which was packed not so long back. But in many respects, that’s by the by, Huddersfield were well within their rights to make that call, whether people agreed with it or not. When looking specifically about how Moore’s tough time in West Yorkshire unravelled quickly, it is impossible not to mention Kevin Nagle as well. To his credit, Nagle is a club custodian who engages frequently with the club’s fanbase on all aspects of Huddersfield Town and sees it as a fundamental part of his role and remit. Many view it as refreshing. But sometimes there’s a time and place and less is more. Certainly when managers are under severe pressure. The Terriers’ heart-on-sleeve chairman has shown no reluctance to convey his thoughts on ‘X’ about Town’s performances since taking over and Moore has been in the line of fire of late. There is no suggestion whatsoever that any criticism has been personal and toxic. But given what Moore was clearly up against of late - he has been around the block in football and is a big boy and knew the score given Town’s recent predicament - were some of Nagle's recent comments really helpful or necessary? Pressure was loaded against Moore ahead of Sunday’s six-pointer at relegation rivals QPR, publicly labelled as a ‘must-win’ game by the Town supremo. It’s one that Town very nearly did win, only for the hosts to cruelly grab a somewhat fortuitous stoppage-time equaliser. It was a crushing - and ultimately fatal - blow for Moore and his coaching team. Words did not need to really be said, in truth. As is his wont, Nagle went onto tweet in the game’s aftermath. A post read: "What a disappointing ending!!! That was tough to watch the last 5 minutes. Players battled. We should have won again instead hanging on for a draw after dominating much of the match.” Even at the end, when a manager and his coaching team were likely to have been down on the floor - not to mention the players as well, no doubt - there was more thinly-veined criticism. It lacked a touch of class, especially towards Moore, given the week he’d had. And what was coming. Social media. Sometimes joyous, but increasingly cutting. Best to think twice, sometimes. Always think a Wobschall sounds like a weird, short, fat penis. His writing makes me think the same. |

Social media and fan reactions may have played a part, but if he was truely influenced by social media he'd have sacked him after the Leeds game (or after Hull, Preston, Norwich, Plymouth, Blackburn). I think position in the table was the ultimate reason, and he tried to persist longer than many would. |

'fraid so, there will be a club announcement a little later showing Darren Moore stepping out of the shower saying it was all just a dream. Darren does Dallas… Completely different image comes from THAT reference  |

Even if he'd decided he wanted to swap Moore for someone else, it makes little sense to sack him before the Wednesday game if you dont have a replacement ready to come in.
Is Jon Worthington with no senior managerial experience at all likely to do a better job than Moore in that vital game? Despite the scolding animosity for him, no is the obvious answer.
If he'd decided to sack him, should have let him have that game and then ditched him afterwards even if we win it.
Let JW take the Southampton game I f mo ones been found by then, as thats a really tough game we'll probably lose either way.

He only had it for 2 games ( proper striker options) and we should really have had 2 excellent away wins from them, so the early signs were actually good. We had games where we looked great under Corberan even in the first season and his in game management was better, he tried to win and sometimes lost. I suppose no players came out to tell the owner to Keep Moore like they did with Corberan, perhaps that tells its own story. |

This sums up how bad it had turned for Moore I genuinely thought we had turned a corner with the Middlesbrough performance but to follow that with what we got in the following games it made it clear he had very little idea how to get us winning games. A massive risk throwing the baton to Worthy for this game but I had very little faith in Moore getting anything from it. |

Dom Howson was on the And he Takes That Chance podcast. He said Moore had form previously for strangely playing players out of position. |

Dm was bringing the whole club down and him losing to his old club would be viewed as him giving them a helping hand by many
Also the focus would have been on dm and facing his old club whereas we need focus on the team and winning a game of football

Coberan showed in the first half of his first season that he could get results, learned from his mistakes and just as importantly gave the players belief in themselves and his methods. We saw the benefits of that in the play-off season.
Moore on the other hand never showed any ability to get the best out what was in all fairness to him a weakened squad, but despite him claiming the squad was improving, to me they looked more and more lost every week. IMO the squad had gone backwards since Moore took over.
In Nagles defence just how much longer could he leave it, Moore had had three games against weak opposition and could not manage one win. Okay its the players on the pitch but his team selections and subs left a lot to be desired and I place the blame firmly on him. Leaving him one more game to mess up was not an option. He was given a fair crack of the whip and he failed miserably, end of story
As to Nagles comments on social media, its simply the way its done in the USA. Managers and players are being paid a lot of money and should be able to take criticism in their stride. I don’t think Nagle would bat an eyelid that Warnock hit back earlier in the season, I suspect he would rather like the fact that Warnock was no ones yes man.
Personally I have nothing against Moore as a bloke he seems to be a nice guy, I just don’t want him managing my team.

Most of my BAME mates (those that have commented on such things anyway) absolutely hate race-baiting. They say it makes things/division so much worse and detracts from REAL racial issues. |

Even if he'd decided he wanted to swap Moore for someone else, it makes little sense to sack him before the Wednesday game if you dont have a replacement ready to come in. Is Jon Worthington with no senior managerial experience at all likely to do a better job than Moore in that vital game? Despite the scolding animosity for him, no is the obvious answer. If he'd decided to sack him, should have let him have that game and then ditched him afterwards even if we win it. Let JW take the Southampton game I f mo ones been found by then, as thats a really tough game we'll probably lose either way. I think they’ve got rid of him before the Wednesday game because they expect it to result in a boost in performance from the team, new manager or not. That is fairly damning of DM in itself. |

Porrohman who thinks people are employed by the club to work as spies on datm and that I was one of them. Was on this forum long before you ever were. Shall we dig out those posts you stupid twat? Weren't you crying about how toxic it is on here, buttercup 🤣🤣🤣. I couldn’t give a shiny shite about datm lad.. Lot of folks agreeing with me though..just you and the ‘comedian’ getting defensive. Sounds like you’re in Dean Hoyle’s noisy minority -… ooh no! how could I possibly know that when I work for Kevin Nagle’s band of datm infiltrators. If you hang fire - your second brain cell will be along in a minute and you might a get a new thought.. |

There might be a lot more optimism around the ground with Moore gone and anticipation of the replacement. JW obviously doesn't have experience at senior management but if he just sticks to basics and plays to win I believe the current players are good enough to get the win. Moore in charge it would havs been a draw, best case scenario. Then some meaningless waffle after the game. |

I see Carlton 'pin head' Palmer has piped up saying we were wrong to sack Moore.
What the fuck does he know? 🤔

I don't really keep up with these things but I assume no statement from DM? I guess there are always NDAs involved in severance agreements these days. Maybe he's doing the half-time draw on Saturday and can say his piece then? |
