I don`t post on here very often as I usually just enjoy reading what others have to say, however I feel DM is in need of some support.
Tony Pulis was selected by the board to come and do a job of keeping us from relegation and to try and establish us in the premiership. he actually succeded in this (initially), it wasn`t pretty but it was effective. He was given financial support and asked to improve the squad, again he was initially succesful in this. The problem started when the board then changed his remit and wanted him to establish us as a top 6/7 team. The reality was he didn`t have the tools in his locker for that task, the board realised this to late and employed Pardew as a knee jerk reaction. Pardew was totally the wrong call and when the reality of this hit home DM was given an unenviable task of picking up the pieces. All of this has been posted on this forum in varying degrees of passion for the last 3 years. Darren Moore has proved to all that he was aware of our failings and has started a rebuilding process, this is not going to happen overnight and will take a couple of transfer windows to get in the players he feels will do the job in his style. He has shown that he wants to play fast, atractive, free flowing football, it`s what all of us on here have been crying out for. The current crop of players are having trouble at times to follow the game plan but we all make mistakes occasionally (even Man City) however they are showing they have faith in DM and his system and are trying to entertain and be succesful. We should be giving them all the support and encouragement we can to help them move us in the right direction.
