Moore set to be appointed...

[WBA123]

According to several newspaper stories

It also looks like some bookies have stopped taking bets...

If it is him, I'm glad the board have been bold and have done it early.

Good luck Big Dave!

Cannot believe they have given it to Moore big mistake no experience he did well towards later end of season but one swallow doesn't make a summer lm sorry but they have shot themselves in the foot yet again

Not sure I agree, there are no standout alternatives.

He's given a good account of himself and he loves the club, why not give him a chance?

How do they know? It beats me when newspapers come out with this stuff when there is no news from the place that matters. West Brom football club. Moore is a huge risk despite his short but impessive few games. If we run into problems Darren has no history to look back on and know how to handle it. Surgeons practice on dead bodies for a reason, you dont want them coming near us until they have sufficient experience. Darren should start with a club other than us, then come to us when he has the experience. Love the guy by the way just using some common sense.

Good luck to Big Dave if true! "Surgeons practice on dead bodies for a reason" - Pardew must have practiced then on the brains of Myhill, Evans, Livermore and Barry, as well as dead wood like Sturridge and Chadli, and put a voodoo curse on the two white vertical posts and crossbar for Rondon.

FFS. Why am i not surprised? Finished with them. Tossers.

I think it's probably best to wait for an announcement from the club before getting carried away.

Interesting the way people are harping on about experience.

That worked well for us with Pardew, possibly the most experienced candidate we could have appointed...

I wonder how well Pep / Mourinho / Ancelotti etc. all got on in their first appointment without 'experience'

Without experience you are shooting in the dark most of the time. Most people recognise this. Its not rocket science its human fact. You cant just GET experience it takes time. If you are happy with us taking a punt fine. I would rather have someone with some know how based on years of experience. Pardew should never be used as an example of experience ever again because the guy just hasnt learned anything over the time he has spent as a manager.

In my opinion, we shouldn't appoint based on experience. I've had enough of mercenary 'old school' managers who are here just to milk us, our last two managers being perfect cases in point.

I would appoint a manager based on other characteristics such as their character, football knowledge and philosophy.

I like Darren Moore's character and I like the way he interviews with the media. I think he has an extensive knowledge of our club and players. I don't think anyone has had enough time to judge his general football knowledge or ethos yet. But he ticks more boxes than not, for me.

Appreciate we all have an opinion and I respect everyone's, but I'm really surprised at the level of pessimism. Lets be supportive, he's a club legend who has had a promising start to a managerial career.
