There could only be one outcome.
You’re spot on here.

One of my best mates is friends with someone at the club who holds an important position within the player back up structure.

He was told exactly this same reason last week.

Jones kept the Luton interview and job secret but it came out.

Jenkins and Downing questioned Jones and at first he denied it all.

The club went to Moore and told him about Jones’s snide tactics and told Moore they felt he needed to let Jones go and then find a replacement but Moore wouldn’t do it.

There was also the feeling that Moore wasn’t assertive enough over Jones and that the tail was wagging the dog.

In essence Moore was too nice a guy and was being railroaded by his disloyal number two.

Outcome inevitable once form dipped.
