Gone at Wednesday. Another weird 1.

Another side who think they are bigger than they are
He was a good manager for them. Got em thru the **** at the end too

I think it's as likely he was told they've about £30 to spend this summer and agreed it was best that he left.

Dreadful decision

I think he's a really talented manager, hopefully he won't be out of work long.

Hope they go back down.

Struggle or even fail to see how this could be justified.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Jun 19, 2023 7:18 pm

Something is going on there

No manager or recruitment chief and only 14 senior players.
It feels like they weren’t prepared for their promotion and he’s not being given the backing he deserves

It’s all about getting an overseas manager that can attract foreign players that are much cheaper. Same as Bournemouth. Wouldn’t surprise me if they go for Corboran, I believe he held talks with Leeds recently and he has history with Wednesday

I think you're mixing up your Corberans with your Carvalhals, so to speak.

Got a raw deal at WBA too-seems a decent guy and liked by his players

I think so but interestingly Carvalhal has been installed as favourite for a return.

Nothing really surprises me I wouldn’t be surprised if pep got sacked, in lots of cases there aren’t pure footballing decisions being executed, more we don’t really know for sure what’s really going on behind the scenes hence being baffled, he could have had an argument with the owner or somebody high up in the hierarchy, any number of reasons.

Awful decision

elwaclaret · Post by **elwaclaret** » Mon Jun 19, 2023 8:48 pm

Did not see this one coming. Moore has not been ‘found out’ in any of his managerial spells and looks a very solid manager from this distance. I would have thought they’d have been better letting him stabilise them next season at least. Maybe it was contractual differences that couldn’t be resolved.

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Mon Jun 19, 2023 8:48 pm

I can almost get my head around foreign owners not knowing anything and still sacking everyone, but to know stuff and still sack someone seems a bit rubbish

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Mon Jun 19, 2023 8:50 pm

Did Darren Moore nearly sign for us. Stan days maybe?

Heath - summer 1997 prior to Heath leaving, he turned us down and signed for Bradford City.

Unbelievable really: sacking success.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Mon Jun 19, 2023 9:25 pm

We don't know the background, but on the face of it that's a shameful decision.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Tue Jun 20, 2023 8:16 am

Perhaps he’s another job already lined up.

martin_p · Post by **martin_p** » Tue Jun 20, 2023 8:20 am

So 96 points and promotion is now not good enough to hold on to a job. Unless there’s something else behind it this is an astonishingly bad decision.

The Hung Juror · Post by **The Hung Juror** » Tue Jun 20, 2023 8:34 am

Awful decision, after the season and the end to the season they had.

You can see some logic/sense to Gary O'Neil's sacking ,but not this.

That's football now, never surprises you.

ClaretPete001 · Post by **ClaretPete001** » Tue Jun 20, 2023 9:24 am

I think the issue is rich people trying to impose corporate logic into a genuinely competitive environment and looking to have clay feet as as a consequence.

The only way to behave like these people in football is to be like Abramovich and spend the most money and buy the best players.

The chairman of Sheffield Wednesday will next year be facing 3 teams with parachute payments of £70 million owning a club with a turnover of £20 million. And of course we are seeing the resignation of local auditors etc.

Best of luck to whoever replaces Darren Moore there are some genuinely big clubs in the Championship next season.

I think Wednesday is a big club with a lot of potential but Bill Foley at Bournemouth is living in cloud cuckoo land.

A certain Paul ince now 1/2 on with the bookies for the job. Poor owls.

daveisaclaret · Post by **daveisaclaret** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 8:41 am

Ince is odds on because of a Wednesday fan on Twitter who has pretended to be ITK. A lesson for everyone about these markets.

If Ince gets it for me they have gone from potential dark horses for the play offs under Moore to a season of battling relegation under Ince.

Does mean they'll get to sign Tom Ince though.

I think my favourite tweet about this was along the lines of "If Ince gets the job, anyone joining me on diving on the Titanic?"

Crazy decision to sack Moore, but Paul Ince, they've lost the plot completely.

depechedingle · Post by **depechedingle** » Fri Jun 23, 2023 7:01 pm

Led to believe it was Moore who instigated leaving after a big fall out over transfer budgets and the Chairman (Chansiri) saying his minimum expectation was top six next season.

They currently only have 14 contracted players, no management team or senior coaching staff and no recruitment staff on the playing side.

Apart from that they are in fine fettle.

Moore could be a good choice for Barnsley.

Barnsley are appointing some internal, apparently to save money.

My Barnsley mate said they’d promote Martin Devanney from the u21s so they can save money on the ‘MD’ branded manager’s kit.

daveisaclaret · Post by **daveisaclaret** » Thu Jun 29, 2023 7:49 pm

Chansiri has said today that Moore leaving was due to unreasonable contract demands. I wouldn't rush to trust Chansiri but he claims Moore wanted more than 4x his wage for a new deal.

If that’s true I suppose the question is what was he being paid whilst there. If let’s say he was on £2k per week then £8k per week in the championship is probably about right.

Sheff Weds also get about 5m in tv money this season compared to about 500k last season, maybe Moore felt he had earned a pay rise.

So? It's still only June, if Wednesday really want him there's every liklihood that he'll be available again before the season kicks off.

Tom Ince, who I was referring to on the post you quoted, has already signed for Watford.
