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.
