His first interview on radio dee dah should be interesting. No doubt it will have been a difficult decision to leave DRFC but he's joining a big club blah, blah , blah bullsh*t

I wonder if he’ll say yeah, no, he’s impressed with the ethos of Sheffield Wednesday and long may it continue

If the current ethos of Sheffield Wednesday continues they'll be the third club in the city, not the second.

How long before he says "Community Club"?

I agree with a lot of what's been said in this thread. I'm hugely surprised he's gone given everything he's said and where we are at the moment...but I'm also completely indifferent to the fact he's left. If he wants to go and chase a pot of gold instead of finishing the job he started then whatever. At least he hasn't allowed our better players to leave before walking, a la McCann.

In general I like the playstyle we currently adopt, but of course we know it isn't perfect. I don't honestly think our recent performances have been as bad as some have made out - but there's plenty to improve on, and hopefully Butts can do that with these players.

But it takes time...above all else I hope we (the fans) give AB some time. Going back to basics is absolutely the right thing to do but it isn't necessarily going to get results straight away, and we shouldn't expect miracles. I'd hate for somebody like AB to go from a club hero to villain if it turns out we don't make the playoffs or whatever this year. Same reason I never want Copps to be our manager. It would hurt too much seeing him vilified if he failed.

Onwards and upwards!

Sorry if Iv missed it but how on earth has this happened so quickly and why was he allowed to manage the team on Saturday?

Good question, in my opinion he should have been relieved  of the position as soon as he made it clear he wanted to speak to them, it does explain the lack of urgency to get the ball forward in the closing minutes, it appears a sense of apathy crept through the squad

Wow. Didn’t expect this, although dare I say there were signs beneath the surface. If you read between the lines of the tone of the VSC Twitter account and the tone of certain posters on here over the course of time then you can, in my opinion, draw conclusions around tensions that may be bubbling. Subtle digs / shifting of credit to Adam Henshall for success has been evident for a while.

Don’t want to get drawn into a slanging match but...

Darren Moore and Grant McCann. Two very different characters. Both jumped ship very quickly to a bigger club in turmoil.

If I was on the DRFC Board I’d at least want to have a look inwardly at the reasons why, and what we can learn. Have we just been unlucky? Maybe. Are we getting everything right? Some people will tell you yes, but probably not.

I think you're reading far too much into this. The VSC twitter account is handled by a couple of people, not me I hasten to add, and there is no discussion about what they can tweet about. Absolutely none.

As for the credit that Adam Henshall has been getting from people like me then that's only because he deserves that. He's been the one doing all the hard work on the recruitment front and yet supporters kept praising DM, I was just telling it as it is. When chatting about recruitment with the club it was Adam's name that always cropped up, not Darren's.

I understand if you don't want to answer SM but are you disappointed he has gone? In a playing sense that is.

No I'm not. The trouble with laid back managers is that the players, or maybe I should say certain players, take advantage of that. GM and DM were chalk and cheese in  that respect.
 

Do you know if he spoke to the players before he effed off Martin?

David Penney was able to step up, who knows it might happen again.

As he was standing in our dugout this must have all been at least 90/95 % agreed?

I think it’s a disgrace he stood in our dressing room and looked our lads in the eye getting them up for the game.

Excuses should have been made and let someone committed lead the team.

You can't do that.

The club were approached on Saturday but no decision had been made, you can't suspend the manager at that point.

That’s Fair enough - out of interest what time was the approach? I assume in the evening after Wednesday defeat?

In which case this all got agreed yesterday and he’s now stood in SWFC gear taking training? Not for me, he’s definitely been flirting with them for weeks hasn’t he.

Let's not forget what DM said when he got the job
I was out of work, they needed a manager
It's just the roller coaster of football, players and managers come and they go. It's purely and simply a job. You get offered something better you move on. There is no such thing as loyalty, even in the case of  our legend Copps - he jumped ship to Forest don't forget all be it on loan.
As long as DRFC exists and the board are happy to support it financially we shouldn't get too upset about things. The biggest worry to me is if or when TB decides he's had enough or GB decides to move on, that to me is far more worrying than managers or players moving on these people are the foundation of the club and are far more important than managers or players.
Lets see how Butler gets on, we can't play any worse than we have done recently, but don't judge him on the next couple of games he has to feel his way into this new position of responsibility. Some may say, probably many really judging by comments from some on this forum, that he has to hit the ground running or our season is over but in reality we are still in a strong position for a top six finish more so if we can put together a run of 4 or 5 wins over the next month.
Be patient give him a chance. JMHO

Regarding Copps, if you listen to the podcast the club wanted him off the books as a big earner. Willie McKay also wanted his own players in the shop window. The players that were there originally were all marginalised by the experiment. There were two sets of players in the dressing room and the ones that cared generally McKay's additions.
If they wanted him off the books what changed?

Poor.

Just seeing the quotes coming out now in the media from his first interview. It is clear he did not even blink with the decision.

His regard for us seems to be very low indeed.

Got to agree with this, bet he was sounded out well before... Is that not the definition of tapping up?

No I'm not. The trouble with laid back managers is that the players, or maybe I should say certain players, take advantage of that. GM and DM were chalk and cheese in  that respect.

Have to say I agree with this. What I thought was so impressive with McCann was that he almost seemed to drive us to a play-off place by sheer force of will. He seemed relentless in that pursuit.

Whilst having admirable qualities and morals in terms of playing football the right way and focusing on performances over results, I didn't get a sense from DM that our results and league position bothered him as much as it maybe should. He very rarely showed any sort of emotion or gave anything away on the touchline or in interviews. Not that there is anything fundamentally wrong with that if that's your vibe, but as a supporter I personally find it easier to warm to a manager when they want to balance entertaining football with a drive to carry the whole club forward with them in a sort of siege mentality. I'm not saying it's all about fist pumping, but more about belief in the whole club and striving to create a winning culture.

It almost seemed at times that this was DM's personal platform to develop players and tinker with his coaching ideas more than it was to unite the club, the fans and everyone involved and get the club going places. I'm sure that wasn't overtly the case, but it did feel a bit like it at times, especially with the loans policy.

I felt that McCann, for all his foibles as an individual, did a good job of creating that, and Butler would do well to add a bit of that ingredient into the mix as he takes over now. It's a mentality thing and I genuinely think it can be the difference between getting in the play-offs/going up and missing out.

Easy to forget how s very, very good squad saw results fade away at the end of 2018/19. We ended the season with this run:

P20 W7 D7 L6

That's about 10-11th place form over a season. And we frequently looked disjointed and lacking purpose. To me, the performance at Charlton was so notable because it was so very different from what we'd seen for the past few months. And even that wasn't enough because of our insipid performance in the home leg.

WAY too much credit is given to McCann in my opinion. Given the resources and support he had, he certainly didn't overachieve.

Just watched Liam Hodens video on twitter and he says the approach was Friday and that BEFORE kick off on Saturday, Moore had told the club he wanted to talk to them.

Well we finished 15th the year before with largely the same group of players, and is the only manager to get us into the L1 play-offs since we came down from the Championship the second time around. Give him as little credit as you want but he clearly got something right, and had (by many accounts) very similar resources to the managers immediately before and after him.

Even so, not really the point I was making anyway.

You would think that after the way WBA got rid when they were near the top would have put him off managing a team in the bottom three.
Unless he thought Rovers would do the same as WBA with our bad run.

Let's hope that the lads and Butts feel as let down by Moore's departure as our fans do, and that it galvanises them into taking this league by the scruff of the neck.

The players only found at training this morning so I doubt it!
SM has this been going on a while ?

Strangely I feel more confident going into these games now he’s gone

What we hear about DM behind the scenes doesn't paint a great picture and from what I understand AB has immediately put some things in place this morning at the Players meeting to redress the 'laid back' approach.

Someone mentioned about getting basics back into place and AB will certainly try to instill that.

Hopefully, he's got the other senior pros to back him up in Anderson and Copps. Indeed Bostock, who might feel a little aggrieved, will hopefully rally round and focus on the task in hand.

I'm sure we all wish AB all the best but let's recognise that making the transition from one of the boys to the 'Gaffer' is never easy.
What have we heard about DM behind the scenes?

Well S_M has eluded to some issues on this very thread and I have spoken to someone at the club this morning which supports S_Ms feedback.

You may also recall the hint of frustration with him over his transfer dealings and being uncomfortable when confronted by the press with certain difficult questions. I've always given him the benefit of doubt as long as he gets the team to perform however, it does appear he was a bit short of some of the standards you expect from a manager. That said, I understand the club are disappointed he's taken the decision to leave.

It is what it is, and we have to move on so we should give Andy Butler all the support and encouragement.

What odds will people give me that Moore says "wonderful" more than 8 times in his first interview.....wonderful opportunity, wonderful fans, wonderful club, wonderful players.......

Our board must feel like one of those little old ladies who get hoodwinked by an odious despicable conman. She lets them inside her home, then gets duped into giving them have her life savings.

Sorry if Iv missed it but how on earth has this happened so quickly and why was he allowed to manage the team on Saturday?

Good question, in my opinion he should have been relieved  of the position as soon as he made it clear he wanted to speak to them, it does explain the lack of urgency to get the ball forward in the closing minutes, it appears a sense of apathy crept through the squad

As he was standing in our dugout this must have all been at least 90/95 % agreed?

I think it’s a disgrace he stood in our dressing room and looked our lads in the eye getting them up for the game.

Excuses should have been made and let someone committed lead the team.

You can't do that.

The club were approached on Saturday but no decision had been made, you can't suspend the manager at that point.


Just watched Liam Hodens video on twitter and he says the approach was Friday and that BEFORE kick off on Saturday, Moore had told the club he wanted to talk to them.

The initial enquiry was made on Friday, and was then officially made on Saturday morning. But we didn't give permission at that point. Permission was given later in the day.

I still don't see how you can suspend the manager before kick off bearing in mind that permission had not been given.

And at that point the board had not discussed it either.
