    This club is GOING NOWHERE

    Its obvious now, as if it wasn't before. When a manager who loves this club like his own life almost achieves the impossible by almost keeping us in the Prem, leads us to a play off place at the first time of asking when Stoke and Swansea have failed miserably in their first time in the championship, can be just sacked on the spot to be replaced by a good 90% chance of someone without a clue or a care what happens to us....ITS OVER. The amount of fans on here who said "I don't care if we stay in the championship as long as we are playing better football"....who now seem its important to get rid of him....WHY?....What do the supporters of this club want? I'll tell you, its quite simple, they want us to win every match, they EXPECT us to do that despite financial backing and only dipping into the loan market!!! What the hell do you expect? WHOEVER takes over don't expect better than what we have now, NOTHING WILL CHANGE, unless our owner whoever that is SPENDS SERIOUS MONEY. We lost our key man Harvey Barnes, who made a hell of a difference to this team and our flare went with him, DESPITE THAT, we are still in the play offs with a chance of going up. I'm done. Too much nonsense from the club and the fans, its become a negative hellhole of a place to be.

    and you talk nonsense football now is a whole lot different when we were kids.money motivated top to bottom,we are still in the playoffs because them below us aren’t good enough to take advantage of our form since Christmas.which is atrocious.

    The stats look impressive so thats why I don't buy into the theory he's been sacked on the basis of results per se. I feel something else as happened behind the scenes that as brought about his sacking. Losing the dressing room would be my take and when that happens its over - Mourinho and countless other managers are proof of this.

    Absolute bollox. After hurtling down the motorway week in week out to see that garbage, there will now be a release going to the Swansea match. Nothing can be worse.

    I am not interested in someone loving the club or a nice guy. I am interested in someone who is effective and ruthless and with a squad like ours - dominates many teams on a consistent basis.

    I was going to bin my Swansea tickets after witnessing the shambolic display at Leeds and the utter crap served up yesterday but now there’s optimism.

    Well done Jenkins for having the balls but find a quality manager now - it costs though!!!!

    Yes, i think it was decided a week ago. Someone has gone above Moore's head and said that his ideas are not working and are causing confusion. Young players have a good game then aren't seen again.

    Jenkins flew to China to get Lai's permission to bring down the axe.

    Agreed Des. Harper best player of late on bench yesterday and Field coming and going ( more going ) like a feckin yo-yo.

    Moore seriously had lost the plot. For once Gayle played down the middle yesterday but Jay R confused on where he was playing. Bartley back - my 10 year old daughter could direct a pass better than him!!!!

    Seriously think DM drew the team selection out of a hat!!!

    So overly dramatic all the weeping and wailing about Moore.

    People have short memories or are too young to remember past events.

    It took forever to get his transfer to us done due to him trying to squeeze every last drop of money out of us before signing.

    He’s been well paid and well looked after by Albion and we gave him a good job in the back up staff and then a chance at management.

    He’s been involved in football for nearly 30 years and he knows the script.

    Nobody forced him to stay in football after his playing days,he made his own decision to stay in a precarious profession.

    Our next manager will understand the same reality.......he’ll be elsewhere in the next 1-3 years,either because he did a c r a p job with us or because he was so fantastic he’s been poached by a bigger club.

    Get over it folks.
