Willie Henderson Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Considering were we started, threadbare squad, no cash to spend on transfers, and then covid and injuries mid-season, I think where we've ended up is a mini triumph. It took a while, but we've come good at exactly the right time, so I think DM's done a great job. Hopefully he will be doing a great job in the championship, with a settled side and maybe a few nice additions. We'll know a little bit more in a few hours though.

Blatter Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Time for this sort of debate is when our season ends. For now all we should be concerning ourselves with are the next two….or three games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) I hate being in this crappy league and will be gutted if we don’t go back up this season however I think Moore deserves to stay and have a crack at automatic promotion next season. Hopefully he has learned a few things about tactics, formations etc this season. Edited May 6, 2022 by WalthamOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticklebricks Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Our fans have a very short memory, or a very unrealistic expectation of how long it would take to sort us out. We were a completely broken club with players that didn't care when he joined. Yes he's had a big budget for league one but that culture change wouldnt have been any easier if he had an extra hundred million. I think he's the best manager we've had a long time and we'd be crazy to change win or lose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 100% he should be here next season, whether we go up or not. I think it's easy to underestimate the job he's done and we quickly forget what an absolute mess we were in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I always felt when Moore got the job it was with a view to it being a long term appointment. The Chairman paying compensation for the first time for a manager pointed towards this. Also look at the jobs he did at WBA and Doncaster. He more than held his own in both posts and neither club is in a fantastic place since his departure. Doncaster in particular are in a much worse state now. What I like about Moore is his togetherness mantra. As we have seen in the recent past, we don’t prosper when the squad is split. It’s no surprise that with no whispers of players unrest and all players being involved we have prospered. Take into account the injuries/Covid/transfer restrictions he’s had to deal with then he’s arguably done an even better job. Whatever division we’re in next season will be a test for him as he continues to fight against his critics and it’ll be interesting to see if the Chairman remains supportive but for me I’d be quite happy to see him allowed to build the club over the next 5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkstar Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I know footballs a game of opinions and all that but...... Anyone who thinks we should get rid of Moore is either on the wind up or really really hasn't got a clue how football works. IMHO of course.

elyowl1 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Fully behind him, not going to blame injuries however the players we have had out injured for long spells have been the wrong ones. If it had been Hunt FDB and Kamberi out for example instead of Gibson, Luongo and Windass we might have had the extra six points needed for Autos. Lets get behind them and see if they finish the job.
