From that list of names I still only count one and no one is doubting Moore is a nice guy but he's not been successful. Yet. How many of the not nice guys got us to the euros final & world cup semi finals? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pughies Jockstrap Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I know a guy who played for one of the most successful managers in the history of the game. Ive asked him several times what this individual was like to play for. He has only ever given me the same one word reply. "Bast..d.

Chris Apolon Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Carlos Carvalhal In all seriousness I happen to quite like Darren Moore and don't think we are doing as appallingly as some people are making out. Footballs not been great at times, sure, but if people thought we were going to storm the league it's their expectations that perhaps were a little misguided rather than all this "nice guy vs successful" nonsense And what is even success? Trophies? Well how many managers the last 15 years have actually won trophies in this country? Maybe 10 max? Or is promotion the barometer of success? By definition some people would prefer Avram Grant or Di Matteo as manager. I'm behind Moore anyways nice guy or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBridgfordowl Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Don’t give a monkey’s if a manager is well liked, so long as he’s well respected and he’s a winner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
