Title: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Dazzza on Friday, June 5, 2009, 11:54:53 http://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/4422400.BREAKING_NEWS__RONNIE_MOORE_SACKED_FROM_TRANMERE_ROVERS/
Seems a tad rash to me he's a fairly good gaffer and 9th and 11th placed finishes are nothing to snorted at. Seems the Shirtlifter knew where his bread was buttered. Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Batch on Friday, June 5, 2009, 12:07:48 Bit harsh isn't it.
Quote "Attendances have dropped by more than 19 per cent during the last three years and the club felt that now is the right time to move forward in a new direction." Wonder if they are going down the 'big name' manager route. Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Nemo on Friday, June 5, 2009, 12:10:09 So they've waited to till early June and let Moore start buying players before swooping?
Either they're horrifically managed or something's hapenned- wonder if there was a row over Shirtliff or something? Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Spencer_White on Friday, June 5, 2009, 12:19:57 Their attendances are actually very good.
They were one of the teams who used to get less than 1000, 25 years ago. Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Luci on Friday, June 5, 2009, 12:28:38 IMO terrible decision as they had a relatively good season.
Must have been some kind of fall out surely? Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: ahounsell on Friday, June 5, 2009, 12:31:46 Their attendances are actually very good. They were one of the teams who used to get less than 1000, 25 years ago. They averaged about 6,500 last season which is just above average for the division but nothing to write home about. IIRC Its less than they have had in other recent years though. Ive always rated Moore as a lower league manager. His teams generally get results at this level, a bit like Sturrock really. It does sound like there is something going on behind the scenes. Either the Shirtliff thing, or some other wrangle that caused both to jump ship. Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: nevillew on Friday, June 5, 2009, 13:18:36 Will Shirtliff decide to stay as manager ?
Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, June 5, 2009, 13:28:57 Both the quotes in the article from fans say they want Paul Ince! Dreamworld.

Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Summerof69 on Friday, June 5, 2009, 15:38:04 Tranmere will always be in the shadow of Liverpool and Everton, but to blame him for the slump in attendances is a joke.
Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: pauld on Friday, June 5, 2009, 16:18:10 It does kind of smack of him having kicked up a fuss about Shirtliff going and presumably having gone too far so provoking the board into getting rid
Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, June 5, 2009, 17:10:44 Agree with Paul. And maybe Shirtliff saw it coming? Moore has always had a bad mouth on him and despite doing well last season he could have easily fallen out with their board.
Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Rich Pullen on Friday, June 5, 2009, 17:52:21 This is very suprising I must say.
They must have a superstar lined-up or something. Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, June 5, 2009, 17:55:35 John Barnes apparently. Ha.

Bit of a gamble! Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 15:37:53 He did well at Celtic !!!
Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 18:39:01 Sacked by christmas.
Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Doore on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 19:48:02 Maybe he has secretly lost 29 stone and will start playing again. Otherwise I can't see the logic in this one.
Hopefully Ronnie Moore won't be out of the game too long - always seems like a decent guy and has had some success as a manager. Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 21:33:03 Moore always seemed a miserable fucker to me.
Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Doore on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 21:34:54 Miserable fuckers usually are decent guys. The opposite are usually described as " a bit of a character" - i.e. a complete twat.
Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Nemo on Sunday, June 14, 2009, 12:34:20 Barnes seems all but confirmed.
This is all going to end in tears, the cynic in me suggests. Title: Re: Ronnie Moore - Sacked Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, June 14, 2009, 12:41:25 Barnes seems all but confirmed. This is all going to end in tears, the cynic in me suggests. It seems a safe bet. First thing I thought when I learned about Moore's departure was that Tranny must have had a "name" lined up. |
