West Brom boss Moore in shock parting of ways from Baggies – fans react

A week after being hammered 4-0 on their travels, West Brom were held 1-1 at home by basement side Ipswich Town. That proved to be the final knell for Darren Moore, with he and the Baggies parting company.

That draw, against a side 12 points from safety and staring relegation in the face, was the final straw for the powers that be at West Brom.

The full statement issued by the club cites a loss in form over recent games as to blame. Chief Executive Mark Jenkins said the following:

“This has been an enormously difficult decision for a Club which will always hold Darren in such high regard. He took over at a very difficult time last season and reunited the Club, a contribution that will never be forgotten. But we have made it clear from the outset that everything this season was geared to making as swift a return to the Premier League as possible. Unfortunately Darren has not been able to engineer the consistency of form and results to convince the board that this objective would be met.”

As well as Moore, assistants Graeme Jones and Wayne Jacobs have also left the club. First-team coach James Shan has been installed as caretaker manager, the Baggies looking to appoint a new man at the helm as quickly as possible.

Albion sit handily poised in 4th place in the Championship table, nine points behind the automatic promotion places and seven points safe in the play-offs. However, as can be seen from West Brom have said, that is not good enough and Darren Moore has paid with his job.

It’s a decision that has certainly come out of the blue, and it has gotten Baggies fans talking. Here’s what some West Brom fans are saying on Twitter – and many are not happy.
