As to the next manager I seriously couldn't give a stuff, when you sack someone for getting you to the play offs and consider a manager who "Only took 3 seasons to reach the play offs with Fulham" when Moore did it in his first season you have to say that the club has totally lost its marbles. Everyone I speak to says the same, doesn't matter who they support. Here is a fact that I come up against in conversation...The championship is a very difficult league and just because we were in the Prem is no indication that you will go straight back up. We ARE doing great in our first season. If we do somehow manage to go up Moore should be part of the celebrations for what he did for 3/4 of the season.
I don't think he's been lucky, Swansea are a very decent outfit. They showed that against Man City yesterday. He played to our strengths against them, let them have possesion and took advantage of their weakness which was on set pieces.

Against Brentford you could argue they shaded the first half, but we controlled the second half. It was a brilliant away performance against a side who had won 7 in a row at home.

I do agree with you about Moore though, should never have been sacked.
