Also hope he is given a chance to rebuild in League One if we are relegated. He's been throw in the deep end with a bunch of piranhas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anus Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Been a while since this has happened on a Monday morning And I never thought it would be with Darren Moore's assistance!! Welcome, do your best big fella UTO's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Wow what a positive bit of news to start the week with. So glad we've got a manager sorted out now although I'm surprised he's left donny for us tbh. I've already written this season off now but he certainly has the credentials to for a promotion push next season. Well done SWFC for a positive appointment for once.

gurujuan Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Seems like he’s a likeable guy, and exactly the type you want to succeed. He is probably a capable manager who could do a reasonable job until we could make a more inspirational appointment Not quite a Monk style appointment, as someone suggested earlier, but not a particularly inspirational one either. My thoughts are, he will struggle to match Thompson’s results, and we will be relegated. I’m sure, even if we are relegated, he will be given the task of overseeing our league one campaign We will bob around in mid table for a season or two, before he is sacked, and we start the whole process again 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sacked him when they were in the play offs and they ended up stacking promotion after they sacked him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasthagotanycheese Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Good luck Darren. You are going to need it with the shyte spineless bottlers you have as a squad and the crackpot narcissist running the club from the other side of the world. I hope you have negotiated full control of transfers and will get your old boss from West Brom involved in some capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approach made Friday, he was asked to think about it, fair play to Donny there. Must have either given permission or triggered a clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did well at West Brom too...not sure why he was sacked? Plays good football apparently and has a strong character. Plus he is a young manager with high ambitions and he clearly isn't afraid of a battle...hes also brave. Hope to god he gives us enough of a bounce to at least attempt survival and if not he knows league one well. Must say to qualify for the play offs at the beginning of March is indeed no small feat!

Not so sure pal, huge transfers done on last day of transfer window, this is minuscule in comparison. I’m just sceptical now of everything that happens at our great club.

CircleSeven Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Amazed and delighted by this. I think he’s here to take us up next year in all honesty. Jan was the time to appoint to stay up. He’s a much better manager than I thought we could attract. I hope it works out because he could be decent over the longer term. I know it’s irrelevant but it is nice to have a manager who looks like he could still fight our entire squad comfortably! Welcome aboard Darren! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Had to make the change. Thompson was taking us down. Totally lost the plot. Good luck to Darren. Our last chance. Lets (again!) hope for players in their obvious roles, a team ethic and a new manager bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
