And it's completely undeniable. The amount of time a manager gets these days bears no comparison with even a single generation ago. Patience, empathy and perspective are in increasing decline, whilst demands, anger and entitlement are surging. GIVE ME WHAT I WANT. NOW DAMN IT !!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run in 2022 made me think he's learning, a more positive approach and more varied set pieces. The play-offs highlighted his tactical shortcomings IMO, step backwards. Final point, if Moore couldn't get us up with this squad is he likely to do so with what is in all probability weaker squad next season? Nothing short of a complete joke how he managed the playoffs. Why do we have to put up with it? Carlos did it - and we rewarded him over and over. DM hasn't got it in him to get this team over the line, pathetic appraoch to the 2 most important games in recent years. Sat back and punted it long for 70 minutes. Can't believe anyone will put up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fife_owl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) At the start of the season, most people said that play offs was the target. He had a massive rebuild on his hands, the gloom of relegation, transfer restrictions and the list goes on. Seven of that starting 11 were signed by Moore - few would argue that his transfer business was anything short of brilliant under the circumstances. The football this year has been the best since Carlos season 1. He can be trusted in the next transfer window and deserves the chance to carry on. I think Chansiri will stick with him.

behindthegoal Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I can see a case for DM to be given another year. He changed the squad with little financial backing and the second half of the season mounted a challenge to get us into the play-offs. However he is tactically naïve when the game is in progress. Last night was a classic example. We were being muscled out of the game and he replaces Byers with NML (a touch player) when he had the option of Dele on the bench who would have provided some force. Then he brings on SB (another touch player) who is dependent on the service he gets which had not been good for most of the game. I o not like to see anybody sacked so I would err on the side of him being given another year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inherited an absolute shambles of a squad and club and has created a way of playing and made us competitive again, after a few years of pure dross in the Championship. I hope we have some money to spend so we can back him in the summer. I think he’s the man for the job. Tonight hurts, but Sunderland were the better side. It’s as simple as that. Agree - for once in our recent history, can we just stick by someone who has largely delivered this season in trying circumstances, helping us to lots of points and lots of goals, a home record I haven't seen the like of in years, and who has the respect of the players and good contacts in the game - and who has a boatload of integrity. No, we haven't won anything, but neither do most managers, but at least we have some self-respect back and we can move forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you only tactically adept if your team gets more than 85 points. So, let me get this right; if Moore would have gained automatic promotion with 85 points or fewer, he would still be tactically inept? Have I got that right? MK Dons finished on 89 points but crashed out of the playoffs to Wycombe. Is their manager tactically inept or adept? What about Wycombe and Sunderland - at the end of the playoff final, will one manager be tactically inept and the other tactically adept given that both of those teams finished with less points than us? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM has done miracles with us as a manager. He's had two outstanding transfer windows - and once gaps were plugged in the second one due to injuries in the first half of the season, we transformed into a promotion seeking team. This is a guy that needs to be around for a while. I for one am looking forward to what more he can do for the club. And the very very very best thing he's done, even more than the above, he's turned Wednesday into a team again. And that's something that had been sadly lacking since Carlos left. Sure there was a feel good factor when Steve Bruce was around, but he repaid our patience with him going off to watch Test cricket in the West Indies by leaving us in the lurch just a few months later. Moores done miracles? Steady down sweetheart, he's had a relegation and a failed playoff attempt in League One on his CV for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos knew the score and was looking for a way out post shafting us in the last playoffs. We've got a massive budget, having another year in this league with a manager who has taken us down and failed to deliver this year gives me zero confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just said yourself that Moore took us to the most important years in recent history. Why can't you just get behind him and the team?
