They wanted rid of him and blame him for losing 4-0 in the play off semis

They don't give him the credit for turning it around and getting promoted

He's better off out of that place.

They're MASSIVE. They're too MASSIVE for us mortals to comprehend what's happening. You have a better chance of understanding the Christian thread.

 

[Doc Lynam]

Free’s a space for Carlo Ancelotti to come in.

 

[Change at Barnham]

This has got an approach for De Zerbi written all over it.
They're massive!

 

[Durlston]

I think possibly the racist abuse he suffered by so-called supporters after the first leg 4-0 defeat may have contributed towards it.

If I got a club promoted but suffered abuse because of the colour of my skin, I would think twice about leading them forwards, offer my resignation and leave MASSIVE in a mess with pre-season training just around the corner. Big Darren is a decent man and manager. I hope he gets a good club where he's appreciated fully. He deserves it.

All about timing. Now Pep has won the Champions League, he’s ready to move on and where else would he want to go?!

I think their 'WTF's are well and truly justified. Still, I suppose another tinpot (but very rich) owner just wants a design manager, I guess, preferably foreign, with a faint tinge of flair.

 

[METALMICKY]

It's called karma for kicking off with Baird in the last game at the Goldstone!

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Potter for the job?

He likes massive clubs.

Even though if you watch the footage now it should have been Mayo that got a straight red

Albion sliding doors, Kerry wouldn’t have played at Hereford and would Baird kept Robbie off the pitch?

As for Moore, as alluded to on this thread previously, they were allegedly going to bin him when all seemed lost after the first’s leg, but when he was racially abused because of the 4-0 defeat they rightly stood by their man.

Clearly if it was widespread knowledge about the potential sacking, Moore’s rightly seen the iceberg also knowing that his stock is very high this summer, he will either be in work before pre season kicks off or at the first wave of sackings in the Championship.

Mutual consent has always been a very broadchurch, both Barry Lloyd and Micky Adams left the Albion by it but in totally different circumstances.

I'd heard they were after Pep.

 

[OzMike]

Going to Leeds.

Is Pep massive enough though? He’s only a European champion becuase Lukaku missed the goal from 3 yards out.

Wednesday were a premier league club 20 years ago don’t ya know.

It's a good point. And managing Messi is one thing but how do we know he could work with talent like Barry Bannan?

I remember thinking after the playoffs “I would walk away now if I was him.” The abuse he got after the Peterborough game was a disgrace and must have hurt him after all he has done for that club. They don’t deserve him quite frankly.

This. Just had a quick look at their forum and it seems they're looking for any explanation except this one. Though, admittedly, I didn't look for very long.

It's kinda weird though, because the racism is the obvious explanation for the whole "mutual consent" thing. Feels like they're really contorting themselves to avoid arriving at the obvious conclusion.

Chansiri, the owner of Massive, is a nutter. I can imagine Moore wanted certain reassurances or budget to be competitive and Chansiri couldn't give it. The whole reason they got relegated to League 1 in the first place was due to Chansiri's clumsy attempt to beat FFP.

Yeah they’re gods and they move in mysterious ways . Heaven help those who think they’re ficking idiots.

....

Not much of a sliding doors moment Lenny as Baird started against Hereford (suspensions didn't kick-in for 14 days back then, so Baird didn't serve his suspension until the following season).
