    He’s had quite an ‘up and down’ career and always comes across as being a pleasant guy. I seem to remember he was doing ok as our coach when he was sacked…4th I think. He always took stick on this forum for his substitutions and/or lack off !
    (Mind you that’s par for the course on here !)

    Good for him.

    There was an interview with him in the match program on Saturday. Never seen so many ?LOLs?.

    Hes done really well Pranders. Two promotions (looking that way) this early on in his career is amazing. He really motivates his teams. We had some great results with him. The 7 goals v QPR for example. Just some Prem examples:

    April 7: WBA 1-1 Swansea

    April 15: Manchester United 0-1 WBA

    April 21: WBA 2-2 Liverpool

    April 28: Newcastle 0-1 WBA

    May 5: WBA 1-0 Tottenham

    Hes got a big future, no doubt.

    Moores calm, considered manner has long been admired at the club, he was a player between 2001 and 2006, and coach for five years since retiring and his step into the No 1 role instantly brought a change in mentality around the training ground. (Daily mail)

    Earned him manager of the month in the Prem. So has he found his level in league two as some have said? What do you think?

    He has done well. As you say Boingy it looks very much like he will get a second promotion, and remember the way he got Sheff Wednesday up, overcoming a 4 - 0 deficit from the first leg.

    His achievement at League Two level has been done with league two players.

    When he was with us he was in his infancy as a manager, we sacked him too early when we should have stuck with him at least until the end of that season. We did not get promoted without him and know most neutrals were pleased about that given the responses in the media at that time.

    Best of luck to Darren, i hope Port Vale finish the job. He is a really nice person and a brilliant manager. Ask any Port Vale fan.

    I guess the fact that we both hope he does it shows that we both appreciate that nothings a given is it. Seeing these things out is worthy of respect. Turning over a 4-0 deficit was remarkable.
