No, I didnt have an argument because im not passing judgement. I didnt want Moore sacked either but some people on this forum need to get over it.
Why appoint him? There are many reasons why a club like us would appoint him. First he is a big name thats probably the main reason, extra publicity because Johnson wants to sell. Second reason is why not give a young manager a chance? Your argument would mean no new managers would EVER get a chance in football, people have to start somewhere.
We are a stepping stone club and always will be for players and its the same with Barnes he will either do an Ince and be in Championship or Prem in a few years or he may never manager again after us.
Either way I want people to stop being so negative, apart from Central Defence are squad is as strong in every other position as any club in this league.
Barnes idea are coming across to the team in 6 weeks already, bodes well. Every player is speaking highly of him (all the players hated Ronnie Moore) so just give him a chance!!!!!!!!!
I was no great admirer of the football we played under Ronnie especially the first two seasons, but if you sack your manager it makes sense to get someone in whose got better credentials. Barnes is hardly a young manager, he's in his late 40s and by his own admissions has let himself go a bit. While I'd like to know your evidence for the assertion that all players hated Ronnie Moore, being nice is not in any way a requirement of being a good manager.
Have you looked at the squads of teams like Leeds, Norwich and Huddersfield to name a few? As well as the dismal failure to prioritise getting in a new central defender, the rest of the squad is a mixture of the ageing and injury prone or promising youngsters. Perhaps we'll be lucky avoid injuries and bans and some of our younger talent will flourish with the increased responsibility. I wouldn't stake my life savings on it though....
