Come back bromby. Compared to cartwright choices( sacking warnock for moore) , bromby was at least proactive. I can’t get Jake Edwards’ smug face out of my head at that last press conference with Warnock and announcing Moore.

The presenter on Sky is abysmal isn’t he? So far, he’s claimed Man City had a goal disallowed by VAR that was given, said Bristol City play at Ashton Road and said Sheffield United are playing QPR.

I see Brandon Williams is on the bench for Ipswich. Left back on loan from Man U. Always looked decent. If he’s not getting a game, I wonder if we could get him on loan in January?

Just watched Moores debut interview at Town,,he was quite excited about our dynamic Group when he heard the interviewer mention how our strongest attribute is our attacking intent,the signs were there, he sounded clueless from the beginning,a few month later we have a couple of defenders and a midfielder injured and weve hardly seen the ball since, I didn’t want to post at the time and be unduly negative, but my wife walked in while I was watching it. “Who’s THAT?!” “Er, Darren Moore, the new Town manager.” “Oh no, you’re absolutely fucked.” 😂

He’s never going to have to unless City get relegated and lose all their players, but persuade him to stay. Would love to see that on so many levels! If this isn’t overachieving, then I don’t know what is … In his first season, he led Barcelona to the continental treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League, becoming the youngest manager to win the latter competition. He was named the FIFA World Coach of the Year in 2011 after leading the club to another La Liga and Champions League double in the 2010–11 season. Guardiola ended his four-year Barcelona stint in 2012 with 14 honours, a club record. Guardiola joined Bayern Munich in 2013 and won the Bundesliga in each of the three seasons, including two domestic doubles. … Manchester City in 2016 and guided them to the Premier League title in his second season in charge, breaking numerous domestic records, as the team became the first to attain 100 points in a single season. He led City to a domestic treble in 2018–19, their first Champions League final in 2020–21, and their first Champions League title as part of another continental treble in 2022–23. Barca were already the best team in Europe when he got their job. At Bayern winning the German title is more or less given..his job was to win the CL for them and he failed..underachieved there if anything. At city they were already the top club in England expected to hoover up titles. Hes been very successful but only what would be expected at those 3 clubs. Hes not 'over achieved' IMO. To really prove himself as a manager he needs to take a job at a club that arent nailed on to win their domestic title and see how he does there. A Spurs , Newcastle or Villa type of club. I wouldn’t say Man City are nailed on to win the Premier League every year. I know what you’re saying (winning something with Spurs is just impossible 😂), but his record is incredible and he’s won things in style, smashing records.

I remember the know-it-alls saying “he won’t be able to do that in England … he’s had it easy managing Barcelona and Bayern” yet he’s done it again at Man City. I know they’ve spent big money on players, but probably less than other Premier League teams. Even if they had spent the most (and, yes, cheated FFP), it’s not easy to keep winning every season, including a treble. He’s an exceptional coach with an incredible record. Agree completely, but like I (and Slapps) say, not OVER achieved. I'm in the camp that thinks he would probably do pretty well on a small budget too, but I can't see him ever taking that kind of job to prove it. Would love to see him at a club like Town and absolutely smash it. He’s never going to have to unless City get relegated and lose all their players, but persuade him to stay. Would love to see that on so many levels!

Guardiola hasn’t overachieved? I'd argue so. He's never taken a team that's not EXPECTED to do well, even when he first took over at Citeh they'd already become a hoover of the most expensive talent. He's never taken a club like (say) Girona and got them competing at the top end. He's always been at clubs where you'd expect them to finish in the higher echelons. I'm not disputing his worth and ability as a manager, it's clear he's a brilliant manager, but I think Slapps is spot on that he's not OVER achieved, just done as expected. I remember the know-it-alls saying “he won’t be able to do that in England … he’s had it easy managing Barcelona and Bayern” yet he’s done it again at Man City. I know they’ve spent big money on players, but probably less than other Premier League teams.

Id agree he hasnt over-achieved but equally he hasnt under achieved either, so dont think its fair to dismiss his record. Would we turn Guardiola down because hes never over-achieved in his career?? Think some decided he was the wrong appointment from day one simply because he wasnt Warnock. There was nothing in his previous record to form the view he'd be a disaster IMO. Guardiola hasn’t overachieved?

The fans don’t deserve this, but the club certainly do. It’s years of neglect mixed with arrogance and incompetence. The custodians of the club deserve it, not the club per se, as there are many very loyal, highly capable staff who devote themselves to ‘the club’. Yes, good point. I respect the staff at the club. Those in charge have let them and the fans down.

Does anyone know when Turton is likely to be back? I know it was a serious injury he picked but he seems to have been out of action for years! Someone mentioned January and thus Edwards will go back. Not sure that anything has been officially said. The longer he’s out, the better he gets. Same with Ruffels. It’ll be like having Cafu and Maldini back!

If he’s so poor why are better clubs than us sniffing around? We’re League 1 standard at best, so might as well play him. I do understand what you’re saying and, in an ideal world, if we were doing okay in mid-table and he was on a long-term contract, then we’d have the luxury to loan him out. As it is, we’re utterly shit and will end up losing him for a pittance. Everyone said the same about Camara. Barely kicked a ball now he got his 'big' move. Diarra will have his agent chirping in his ear, for obvious reasons. Sign a new deal, get a decent loan move in Jan and I feel we could see a much better player next season. Camara was class. He’s gone to Serie A. I don’t think anyone expected him to be playing in the first team immediately. A project player. Presumably he’s being coached and playing in the B team until he’s ready. Their squad isn’t paper thin like ours, so they have the luxury of time to work with him and develop him. It’ll be interesting to see how he does. Maybe he’ll make it, maybe he won’t. As for Diarra, I don’t see that we have much to lose in giving him more minutes.

It’s called coaching though, isn’t it? That’s the point. He’s not going to improve by not playing is he? It’s not like we’ve got an abundance of talent in the squad when the likes of REG and Edwards get a game. You clearly know nothing about development. REG and Edwards are experienced players compared to Diarra. Diarra is young and overall has been pretty poor. By playing him, in this situation, it would ruin his development. He needs to be in League 1, getting minutes in a better environment. It has nothing to do with coaching. Player pathways differ. Are you telling me that Colwill should have been playing every week for Chelsea 2 years ago? Or was his move to us more beneficial? If he’s so poor why are better clubs than us sniffing around? We’re League 1 standard at best, so might as well play him. I do understand what you’re saying and, in an ideal world, if we were doing okay in mid-table and he was on a long-term contract, then we’d have the luxury to loan him out.

Many at the club believe he will be a premier league player in a few years time. So, why the fuck are we not playing him? Makes no sense. He’s got something none of the rest of the squad have got. Talent. The coaches need to do their job and get some coaching done.

Would cash in on Diarra whilst we can . He is so talented when it comes to dribbling but simply has no end product week in week out . He doesn’t pass , he can’t shoot. I’ve no doubt he’ll go and be a success somewhere but I don’t think he will here. Could the coaches not work with him to improve those aspects of his game? Surely, playing matches would give him the opportunity to learn and make progress.

Gelhardt would be a “yes” from me. He’ll definitely come good at some stage. I know a lifelong Wigan season ticketholder who knows his football and reckons he’s the best young player he’s ever seen. At Wigan. They're not exactly famous for their production line of talent. They’ve had a few, but point taken! My mate rates him anyway and has been around long enough that I trust his opinions on players. Although he didn’t rate Nicholls when he was at Wigan, but he was just a daft young lad back then, by all accounts.

Wouldn’t it be better to just give Diarra a proper run of games? He’s something different to the rest of the midfielders we have. Without Rudoni, there’s not much skill, creativity, excitement. He runs with the ball, beats players. Yes, he’s still raw and prone to errors, but so is everyone else in our squad and surely this is where coaches earn their money by coaching the talent. Give him a chance to develop, let’s see what he can do, rather than just lose him for peanuts.

You must be mental if you think we currently have better options. We don't. If he comes back we still don't have a Championship quality striker but my reply was to the bit where he said IF we had the players to create chances for JR. We haven't. We don’t have players good enough to give him chances, which he would take (as stats prove). To say he isn’t Championship standard is just daft.

If we had the players to give him the ball he would score. He must be full of confidence right now and that is exactly what we need. To say people don't want him back is bonkers imo If......... You must be mental if you think we currently have better options.

Htafc have 19 goals this season, two of which were own goals. Rhodes has 13. In League One 🙄, in the Championship he has 14 goals in 4 seasons Playing in the teams he has, with the service he gets, that’s not bad!
