SwellOwl Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 4 hours ago, Lord Snooty said: I like what he said in that article about the Championship. Though admittedly at West Brom (where he was at the time) he had a better squad. A league where you often have 24 or 48 hours to prepare for games. A league where you can lose a dozen times... but still get promoted. A league where draws don’t count for much – you need wins. My ambition at the start of the season was to score 100 goals. The only way you do that is by playing attacking football Darren Moore on the English Championship Moore has shown that he only goes out to win games. I think other teams won’t expect it and need to go on the front foot from the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Great reading through some of comments lads hope your all well. Excited for tonight I really hope we get these 3 points, be interesting to see how we set up. Regarding the contract situation I am not 100% but I strongly believe he will be here next season whether we are in league 1 or championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'm a bit late to this party, but like most on here I'm really optimistic about this appointment. The only shame is that it took them 10 weeks when we really needed the decision making in early January alongside a couple of shrewd loan signings. Moore was very harshly sacked by West Brom (he had an excellent record for the most part) and has been doing a fine job at Doncaster. Also seems like he is a positive, attack-minded manager who is on the up. I haven't watched all of his interview either, but the answers I have seen strike me as very shrewd. Considering we have a thin-skinned Chairman who over-reacts to most things, he's played a straight bat to most of the questions - not trying to overly play to the audience like Pulis did. At the same time, he's been positive enough to keep the fans on board - not appearing too evasive like Jos. Obviously the first interview is in some ways the easiest - but have we finally managed to find a manager who can combine being good at his job, with being able to manage upwards and help influence our Chairman to build something approaching a long-term vision for the club? Hopefully something more centred around younger, more athletic player and a more positive and proactive football style. But, I'll try not to get too carried away. Most managerial appointments end in failure. And I remember being optimistic about Paul Jewell / Chris Turner / Alan Irvine at the time (though it didn't last long).

ponym110 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Feeling very optimistic about this appointment going forward regardless of where we finish this season. Being able to bring in his own coaching staff, particularly coaches who are themselves highly regarded is another positive. As others have stated in hindsight it would have been better in January where we maybe could have used the loan market. 8 or 9 wins out of the remaining games needs to be the target.

Guest Hornsby Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Wonder if he would give Bannon a new contract. If so, what terms? Brentford bid Jan but would they or others now if still on mega money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 When it comes to keeping us up, the money would have been better spent on bringing in a centre forward and a left back on loan In the longer term, he’s a steady hand who could be a good fit, whether we stay up or not. Let’s be honest here though, it’s likely that we will be rebuilding in league one, perhaps no bad thing, as I don’t think we’d have the budget for a championship rebuild. Signing a dozen players, which we might need to do, will be virtually impossible at championship level, but is perhaps doable in league one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CourteenerOwl Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Just seen this. Can’t do any worse thank Jos. I said that about Monk. Can’t do any worse than Monk. I said that about Pulis. Surely Moore can’t to any worse than all of the above. Let’s see. Hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest T Hardy Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I have an awful feeling that he will keep us up and then walk in the summer when he realises Chansiri won’t give him anything to spend. Hope I’m wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Darren is i hope a great success at our club ,But relegation or not ,I Want assurances from Chansiri that Darren will be sole in charge of recruiting his own targets . Chansiri will have my backing if he at last admits his formula is not working , And tells us all ,Darren Moore is our manager ,As such he will have an agreed budget and he will recruit his own targets .Going down does not bother me after last week i thought we were down ,But the most important thing is having a correct structure to come back ,If Paxo is anywhere near our recruitment we have had it . But letting Darren Moore be in charge ,There is hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
