Just had it confirmed it’s Moore by a source I trust implicitly.

Darren Moore isn’t what we all wanted or expected. However, it makes complete sense. He’s a continuation of Warnock. Excellent man manager, known for building great team spirits. Players only speak fondly of him.
He’s got a good track record. West Brom were 4th with 10 games left when they sacked him (mad decision) He would’ve got Donny in the playoffs if it wasn’t for Covid and he stabilised the ship at Wednesday and got them back into the Championship.
It’s a safe pair of hands. Id rather this than a complete novice. The championship is a bear pit. He knows the division. Let’s give him a chance.

It doesn't exactly fit into the 'pleasantly surprised' bracket does it. I can't see it myself. Nixon is very often wrong....

Must have missed the formal announcement. Silly me. Same here. As said elsewhere, if Moore was let go from the massive before we appointed Warnock for the season, why make the move now, when it could have been done before. Doesn't fit at all. Two reasons: - As desertstorm alluded to, it's very possible Moore wasn't available until now if he had parts of his contract to tie up with Wednesday. - Having a summer where you change owner, director of football and manager would be too much change. You would have no-one there that knew the squad to be able to make informed decisions on contract renewals/new signings. You'd either have to keep Warnock or Bromby for a period of time for some continuity and I think we all know who we'd have rather gone for. I do also subscribe to the theory that more as gone on behind the scenes to speed the process along a bit however. |

For all those who aren't happy with Moore, can I ask why? I don't know enough about him clearly.
Is it simply because why would you ditch Warnock for him? Because obviously you wouldn't do that.
Or are there other issues? All I know is that he was immensely popular everywhere he's been

I really don’t understand getting rid of Warnock for Moore Bizarre Apparently Nagle got the wrong end of the stick when Warnock demanded More in the transfer window |

If it is Moore he comes across as a decent sensible bloke - is he a good manager? Time will tell. One positive to potentially grip onto, didn't he leave the massive after not being backed? In which case you could assume he is going to be backed, or at least to a level he thinks he can work with. Another positive, he left after being successful in his last job. To that end his career is on an upward trend. Am I excited (if it is him)? I am ambivalent and will hope he gets the team playing well and is supported (by Mr Nagle). Left because he wanted a massive pay rise according to the chairman. After being a whisker away from the sack after messing up the play offs from a position of strength with a very expensive league one squad. Seems a great guy but this is a pathetic appointment. At least we know now what to expect. PL in three my arse. |

Or are there other issues? All I know is that he was immensely popular everywhere he's been And the data suggests he does a decent job. 40s win % minimum - over 50% at Wendies (in League 1). I'm not saying he's not a solid appointment, but something doesn't add up if it's him. |

I see a few posters quoting JE in the press conference. *If it is DM he may have only recently become available due to clauses in a previous contract. So the information coming out of the press conference wasn’t wholly misleading. |

He probably took time out over summer and is now ready for a job. |

Nixon is very often wrong.... bblue who wrote 'pleasantly surprised' wrote a short while ago that there must have been two candidates - so much for the 'had to act fast' bollocks - and he was referring to the other, more exciting' one. |

Wouldn't be disappointed with Moore, but doesn't seem to justify bringing forward Warnock's departure a few months.

Well if he keeps his 1.7 points per game we finish on 75 this season. 🤣.

Might be wrong but I have this memory that he was fired by West Brom when they were looking like they might go back up to the PL? It seemed a bizarre decision at the time. Good luck to the guy if it is him. He'll need a good start because the knives will be out. |

Just noticed this thread was created by the guy who created the Rooney one yesterday....
Wonder who his thread will be about tomorrow.

Disappointing to me initially if it is him, but I'll give him a fair crack. Although I did that with Buzz, that went REALLY well  |

Don't often post or reply in here as much as I did a few years ago, but felt compelled to add my 2p's worth. I think if you asked a fair few fans what it was that they wanted, I think the vast majority would agree we really need stability. Yes, Warnock offered this but there has to be a long term plan and for me Warnock doesn't offer us that.
I personally would be happy with 2-5 years of building a club and squad that can maintain its place in the Champ and look to then build towards possible promotion. If you look at what we have had for the last 5 years, there isn't anything that's been "stable" about us. I for one think Moore (if appointed) can be a safe pair of hands that builds the team over the next few years while Kevin Nagle looks at the overall structure.

Good luck to the guy if it is him. He'll need a good start because the knives will be out. They were 4/5th at the time and dead cert for the playoffs under him. Sacked him and they fucked up in the playoffs anyway… Was doing a good job at Doncaster before Wednesday took him, got relegated from the championship then back up from league one at the second attempt. Unsure on how good he is as didn’t really watch his teams play or how good their squads were. |

Was that a fart on 38 seconds? If it was, it didn't sound like a particularly healthy one, so consequentially the first thing he needs to do is get the players on a different diet to what the Wednesday lad was on. |

Irrespective if its true or not its all we can do mosher, just give him our full support, people can moan witter and stamp their feet as much as they want but it aint changing anything if true, most fans will obviously wish him well but if he gets off to start Like Danny Schofield last season any good will wont last long. |
