There wasn't any pressure on Warnock at all. But that doesn't take away the massive achievement. Similarly, there wasn't any pressure on Corberan in 2021-22 either, as the new signings had already been written off on here before a ball was kicked and the squad was frequently labelled a League One squad. Pretty sure the squad this summer was labelled a league one squad too. It does beg the question then why so many think Moore is underachieving, given he's only had half a league one squad to work with.

Yeah, it’s not as if they have personal lives, jobs, & kids. Lazy fookers. They should be on here 24/7 with a fine tooth comb on every thread checking and moving posts. Tell you what, if we did there’d be a hell of a lot more folk getting little holidays from the forum. Careful what you wish for! 😂 Yeah, anyone would think you were doing this unpaid in your own time You know, in all honesty I enjoy the job. As with anything you have good and bad days but overall it's not a bind. Derailing the thread, yellow card for moi.

Wish mods would do their “job” and move all these comments to the DM thread. Everything’s mixed up these days. Apologies. DATM HQ is currently closed for refurbishment so we don’t currently have the advantage of the bank of big screens that allow us to monitor every post.

True,but he also had no pressure, a better squad and oncentrated on play out of possession and catching them on the break. Which DM has been criticised for when he's done it. No pressure??!!?? You're joking I think?! Jobs at stake, everyone relying on him, his reputation on the line. He looked as cool as a cucumber but beneath the surface there would have been huge pressure. You only had to look at his face when that first goal went in to see how much it meant. I've no idea why people want to denigrate what he achieved, it's fcking weird. I'm not denigrating what he achieved. It was nothing shirt of a miracle. But he said himself that towards the end he couldnt slee. But at the beginning he said it woukd be his biggest achievement if he kept us up, but he had no pressure because nobody woukd have blamed him if we went down

TBH I couldn't give two fucks what Moore did at Wendies or WBA. I only care about what he's achieving here. And so far, he's hugely underachieving both in terms of results and the impact on our playing style. If anything, it's possibly only his record on paper at previous clubs that has kept him in the job - as many have pointed out his record compares unfavourably with Buzz and there are only two real differences - one has a track record, the other doesn't, and with Buzz we had no idea what he was saying, whereas with Moore, he has no idea what he's saying. Tomorrow is now huge for him - new signings at his disposal in critical areas. It will do one of two things - prove that he's been boxing with one hand tied behind his back and is now free to kick on, or proof that he has no fucking idea what he's doing. I pray it's the former, but suspect it'll be the latter. Either way, I'll be at Ewood as I've nowt better to do. Everyone said this squad wasn't good enough at the beginning of the season. He's had half of them missing, yet he's under-achieveing? I would say based on budget and squad our league position is exactly where I'd expect it to be

Don't let all the good work Kevin and his team have done be wasted by a manager who simply does not have a plan. Attacking football will never happen with Moore.
To save the season he has to go.

Thanks for listening to the fans….you’re messenger work to Kevin may have helped….. Whereas of course I listen to everything and communicate what I can, I cannot stress enough: - above my pay grade - I have nothing to do with personnel - I assure you KN and team were aware of everything I’m about as die-hard a sports fan as you could ever find. I’ve done some crazy things over the years for my teams, I totally get that fan is short for fanatic, as I am one of them. And in my short time interacting with everyone, I can tell and appreciate that it’s more than just sport, it’s community and generational pride. I GET it. I will say this: It’s never easy to watch someone lose their job, especially a great person. But business is business and all, fair play. Over the last few days I’ve been yelled at for tweeting “if we outscore the opponent, we have a good chance at winning”, which is par for my sarcastic sense. The higher the pressure, the more sarcastic I get, likely a coping mechanism. Due to me also tweeting about the Kings and 49ers (which is actually part of my other job), I’ve been accused of not taking Town matters seriously. I have a person I will not name in my DMs on this board repeatedly telling me to “fire the guy”, and at one point he literally threatened suicide if I didn’t. I blocked my first (and hopefully only) Town supporter on Twitter due to repeated abuse, and I thought very deeply about doing so as I didn’t want to send the wrong message. And I got called Smithers (I actually enjoyed that and would change my screen name if I could). I say all of this not to complain one bit, but to drive the point home that passion is passion, even when misplaced in my inbox. I would never ever put words into KN or Jake or anyone’s mouth, but for what it’s worth I can tell you that they (and of course I) are OBSESSED with this team and supporters. Want nothing but good things and success. There is no doubt mistakes will be made, but we seem to be all rowing in the same boat, just unsure of the compass readings with each other at times. But communication is key, and good or bad I can tell you KN will be open and transparent, has put his money and actions behind his words, and this is just the beginning. I won’t ask you to trust me, I’ve learned in a short time how much you’ve all been through, but I DO look forward to sharing all the good times with each and every one of you. Onward and upward. UTT

Your thick skin is admirable, and hope the abuse doesn't stop you doing what you do. Also, I know nothing about basketball but quite enjoy trying to work out how the Kings get on from the stream of tweets I see (what seems like) every other morning. Not everybody gets so annoyed at every little thing. I am going to have to unfollow if the Chiefs lose the Superbowl however......

Completely correct that it’s not nice to see a good man lose his job - I’m sure Moore will go on and do well somewhere, it was just not the right fit at Town. Nobody should have to put up with abuse or threatening behaviour and hopefully you’ll see that, in the main, we are a good and decent bunch of people who just want to stability and success. Clearly Kevin wants the same. Good times ahead, I’m sure

And in my short time interacting with everyone, I can tell and appreciate that it’s more than just sport, it’s community and generational pride. I GET it. I will say this: It’s never easy to watch someone lose their job, especially a great person. But business is business and all, fair play. Over the last few days I’ve been yelled at for tweeting “if we outscore the opponent, we have a good chance at winning”, which is par for my sarcastic sense. The higher the pressure, the more sarcastic I get, likely a coping mechanism. Due to me also tweeting about the Kings and 49ers (which is actually part of my other job), I’ve been accused of not taking Town matters seriously. I have a person I will not name in my DMs on this board repeatedly telling me to “fire the guy”, and at one point he literally threatened suicide if I didn’t. I blocked my first (and hopefully only) Town supporter on Twitter due to repeated abuse, and I thought very deeply about doing so as I didn’t want to send the wrong message. And I got called Smithers (I actually enjoyed that and would change my screen name if I could). I say all of this not to complain one bit, but to drive the point home that passion is passion, even when misplaced in my inbox. I would never ever put words into KN or Jake or anyone’s mouth, but for what it’s worth I can tell you that they (and of course I) are OBSESSED with this team and supporters. Want nothing but good things and success. There is no doubt mistakes will be made, but we seem to be all rowing in the same boat, just unsure of the compass readings with each other at times. But communication is key, and good or bad I can tell you KN will be open and transparent, has put his money and actions behind his words, and this is just the beginning. I won’t ask you to trust me, I’ve learned in a short time how much you’ve all been through, but I DO look forward to sharing all the good times with each and every one of you. Onward and upward. UTT Bad news bud. If you're going to be Smithers you'll need to stop working with Kev and go work for Ken Davy, that bloke is the spitting image of Montgomery Burns 😁

UTT Ask and you shall receive I hope you didn’t actually change the posters name without confirmation? My understanding of “I would if I could” is that it usually means the total opposite.
