I couldn't believe it when a lad at work told me this morning that Moore had done one to S6 .What an absolute kick in the ballax for everyone connected to your club .Why he wanted to leave to go there is anybody's guess , you wouldn't mind so much if he'd landed a decent job at a good club but feck me it's a train crash over there .How's about finishing the one you started at Rovers Darren ?Huge mistake on his part and if there's any justice you'll be swapping places with them at the end of the season .
It's written in the stars isn't it?Doncaster Rovers v Hull City in the Play-off Final at Wembley. Andy Butler vs Grant McCann.Coppinger scores the winner to take us up on his last ever professional game. Butler gets one over McCann after being shafted by him at the end of the 2018/19 season.Whilst Darren Moore gets sacked by Sheffield Wednesday as he's unable to avoid relegation.
"Intelligent" isn't a word I would use to describe him. A good footballing mind yes but intelligent - definitely not. Just listen to his interviews!
When players and managers leave it seems to spark an initial knee-jerk reaction amongst a club’s fanbase, which is understandable but some of it a little harsh. DM hasn’t suddenly become a bad manager, or a bad person, overnight. I’ll still hold him in high regard for everything he’s done for us on and off the pitch. He was always likely to be courted by a bigger club at some point. Much like McCann, he’s jumped at the first opportunity to go to a club in turmoil. It’s disappointing. I’d like to know why to some degree, but I can also understand it. From a purely footballing perspective I think I miss Grant McCann more than I’ll miss Darren Moore. For me, the football we played under McCann has been bettered only by the very best times under O’Driscoll and Penney (in my lifetime). DM had us playing some nice stuff and getting some good results (at times) but it never fully took off in my opinion. Sometimes I was a bit bored watching us. I never felt that under McCann. On the moral principle, I don’t see how we can lambast McCann and Moore for the nature of their departures, but not acknowledge the fact that Butler will immediately leave the Belles managerless. This is simply how the food chain works, isn’t it?

Just listen to his interviews!I always felt like he used bigger words to try and make himself sound dead intelligent in interviews but he often came across as though he was waffling.

The more I think about it, the more bat shit crazy this seems.Why on earth would he go there?Especially when it looks like its only til the end of the season. Whats going on at Rovers?

Whats going on at Rovers? Why does it have to be something wrong at Rovers? Wednesday are a massive club, in the doldrums but I’ve no doubt Moore is doubling/trebling his money with the promise of a big kitty if he keeps them up. I reckon most managers would struggle to believe that and see through Chansiri, but Moore doesn’t come across as the smartest tool so maybe he’s accepted it and been a bit shortsighted with it.
I even remember Ferguson commenting when he first joined that "somethings not right at the club" but he couldn't put his finger on it, and he didn't elaborate further. Could this be a factor of why managers always jump ship at first opportunity?Whatever it is.
Getridorit - McCann went to Hull & Moore has gone to Wednesday. Both clubs struggling at the wrong end of the table and owned by fruitcakes but they are (were) both Championship clubs, much bigger than Rovers and potential to go far with a bit of stability, not to mention a huge uplift in salary. If they had both left to go to a Swindon or a Northampton I’d be concerned but both moves have been up a division football-wise and probably two or three divisions financially.

You don't get many managers coming in saying "everything is perfect and if we don't succeed it'll be because I'm shite."
Shocked by this but not completely surprised by it. Darren’s done a super job with your club but it was probably obvious that a “bigger” club would come calling at some point and now one has. I don’t blame any manager for taking the opportunity to wake a sleeping giant and I believe Wednesday to be one of those and though it’s a sickener for fans it’s just what happens these days. Hopefully it won’t damage your promotion push and I can only wish you the best of luck.

I hope DM has requested a fair share of his wedge up front rather than a credit note.
