Sure I read that they had borrowed on parachute payments for next year just to pay wages. Chinese owners again struggling go get money out of China maybe? Every possibility, iirc they appointed a chairman when they were relegated who said financialy the club was a mess, mayby once again they've been conned by some fraud like our Dr and they don't have a pot to piss in and promotion is boom or bust for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Wait what? They could have easily get promoted in the play offs and they sack him and decides to roll the dice? Just strange, this will cause disruption and confusion to thesquad no doubt. Imagine if they fail to get promoted now, in all eternity they can only wonder what could have been if they kept him.

hippo Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Personally I think it will jokanvic - if so its more about get a decent manager in, than anything Darren Moore had done. They have seen a better become available, knew they couldn't afford to wait - if they miss out this time they have one of the top managers in the division available for next season - a ruthless but good move if it comes off.

Too many teams think they have a divine right to be in the Premier League they desperately want to get back to doing **** all in the premier league for what its worth i did see some rumblings of strange decisions being made by moore, players out of position etc, got schooled by sheffield united a few weeks back but i dont what it achieves, 7 points clear of 7th, 9 points off 2nd, 2 very good teams at the top, they're not getting any kind of push that gets them automatic, even a basic percentages game them dropping out of the playoffs is more likely than them catching leeds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would have been much competition from other championship clubs wanting him come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 fulham sacked him in November if baggies owners believe that he is the man to take them up then why have they waited until they are in a position where he pretty much cant take them up because they are too far adrift? i can understand being ruthless with moore, havent got that much of a problem with it but being ruthless and then appointing someone who can do no better is **** stupid IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted March 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2019 Not sure if jokanovic is that much of a step up from Moore. Both seem capable of getting out of the division, yet neither able to get up automatically. However the bigger concern would be when they get up. Moore seemed able to get a tune out of them to almost keep them up, jokanovic struggled. Funny if they do go with him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Also Jokanovic wants to play with fast midfield passing. Barry, Livermore, Brunt can barely move never mind play that way Can see this ending badly this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
