Have him back in a heartbeat.
Wouldn’t want him back. I felt things started to go down hill before he left and the Owls were a get out for himAbsolutely agree with that.

How much of that mess was his fault? And how much was him making the most of a reduced covid budget?Ok, man's a turncoat and on a character level suspect but we were the best team in the league before his head got turned. The way he left stinks but he's an easy scapegoat for deeper problems imo.
He wasn’t exactly prolific at the training ground by all accounts, we were on the slippery slope before he actually left, whether this was due to his head being turned I guess we’ll never know.I predict a future as a pundit for him, he fits the demographic well for Sky

The reduced budget started in his reign.
Quote from: MachoMadness on January 03, 2022, 12:51:17 amHave him back in a heartbeat.You must be joking he systematically destroyed the excellent squad put together by Ferguson then McCann over an 18 month period by not signing players up to new contracts. His own permanent signings were largely very poor. His success was built on the back of the excellent back 4 he inherited plus Whiteman and yes his own excellent loan signings. The football, bar the odd lightening counter attack once every 10 minutes, was dreary as hell - all those continuous one-twos between centre halves and the keeper.He's the reason we had to buy virtually a whole new squad in the summer - a difficult task putting us on the back foot for this season straight away. Yes a task which admittedly Richie Wellens and the club made a complete hash of but we shouldn't have been in that situation to start with - a fault largely at Moore's door.Results may suggest otherwise but for me one of the worst manager's of DRFC in my lifetime.Oh and of course as soon as his incompetence began to come back to bite him, he and is agent engineered a hasty exit leaving Rovers to try and manage his mess.

When McCann was hired and we only signed two young kids on loan that summer, many fans went on about the club not spending enough money.As it turned out, Wilks and Kane were all we needed to push on and take an unlikely Play-Off spot.
Strange I thought Ferguson left to look after his sick father

Yep CBCB I'd say 3-4 decent-good signings in 18 months Fej, Taylor (not on your list but if memory serves signed under Moore), Butler though only as a stop gap and potentially John we'll see how he develops. The rest tosh.Meanwhile he released or allowed contracts to run down: Watters, Blair, May, Sadlier, Halliday, James, Wright amongst others. What we couldn't do with all these players right now.
