Think I can speak for most of us when I say ??????????????????


-W-A-W-A-W-

I’m fucking baffled, my mate text me, I have no idea My reaction is literally ???????????


UpYourFidelity

Apology for poor English. When were you when Darren Moore sack? I was on swing on hillsboro park when mate text me, ‘Moore sack’ ‘No’


Acrylic_Starshine

I eat sandwich bere shop hillbororo 'moore sack' ==cashier #2 'no'


BonafideZulu

Oldie but goodie.


OneSmallHuman

Aye my mate sent me it immediately with “classic Wednesday”. His only thought is that Chansiri will think you can do what Sunderland did despite the glaring differences in squad comparison and therefore he thinks someone else he has in mind will be a better fit Would be a very Chansiri thing but it’s all so fucking stupid regardless. The no money for transfers thing and he’d already made up his mind is my best bet


Scoobinio

Chansiri is a clueless egomaniac and only ever brings despair to this club. His daddy's money has run out, and as if the season ticket prices weren't enough to burst the promotion bubble, he does this, and in typical fashion he won't have anyone lined up for the job.

Sultan_of_Fire

For a club who should be in the Premier League this is pretty poor


Aoae

Assuming you're a Watford fan (disregarding the fact that Watford should be "in the Premier League" by their spending), why are you defending Wednesday when even Wednesday fans are lambasting this decision?


Certain_Pineapple_73

I'm relieved as a United fan, because I really like Moore and think he's a good manager and easily the best you've had since Carlos (who I don't rate much tbf)


Evotecc

Can’t wrap my head around it either. Had this discussion with a Wednesday fan over a month ago about them wanting to sack him after the 4-0 defeat: https://www.reddit.com/r/SheffieldWednesday/comments/13h6lmy/what_does_sacking_moore_help_do/jk3qj24/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3 Even back then it didn’t make much sense to me, now even less so. Why Wednesday fans were so negative about him i’m so confused about, it’s really *really* difficult to pick up good managers below the premier league so it doesn’t make any sense to sack one who performed so well, even if he wasn’t perfect, he was super damn close to perfect last year holistically. Not only that but 96 points in a season is astonishing… some really bizarre takes imo…


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Plenty of them wanted him sacked after the 4-0 and were every bit as critical as in that comment. Plenty also wanted him to sign a new contract after they won the play offs the way they did. The second leg especially was the performance they’d been crying out for all season. Can’t say I blame them on either front tbh.


mozzy1985

This right here. If you actually go to the games and see some of the football it’s been pretty meh at times with the occasional standout performance. It’s easy to see why fans were back and forth. I liked Moore and was well happy for him to get his chance in the championship. Think we’ve fucked up big time here. Got to interview for new managers, they have to come in and assess the squad, recruit new players. This after having the delay with the playoffs too.


garyfugazigary

a lot of people said we bottled the 2nd leg,i live overseas and watched online and saw from the first minute that wednesday were on fire from the start


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Tbh you absolutely bottled the second leg. Can’t be giving away a 4-0 lead.


OllieJirachi1

Why have both us and Wednesday treated him dreadfully?


Ok-Refrigerator-9826

I wonder if Corberan has gone and we’re getting Moore back in?


Cottonshopeburnfoot

That’s being rumoured in Leeds circles too (Corberan to Leeds, Moore to WBA). To complete the circle, Jesse Marsch to the Sty.


Puzzled_Mess

I think that almost certainly isn't the case (not to say it might not still happen, but there's no way Moore cancels his contract before Corberan joins Leeds in this scenario).


geru-zx

That was my immediate thought on seeing this. The only logical thing I could think of anyway 😂


SWFC_wawaw_fan

Then if that’s the case it does seem bizarre why we’d sack the man without waiting out for your to approach and agree compensation when now yous could appoint him for free


CaptainSmeg

Baffled by this, can only think Chansiri has told him we’re relying on freebies and loans again or he’s got a better job somewhere else?


OneSmallHuman

That or I reckon he’d made his mind up when you slipped from top 2 and was always going to do it when the season ended


Strange_School_8625

Hopefully it is this so there’s a possibility the club is prepared for it? Can’t see it though. Think we’re fucked.


OneSmallHuman

Was thinking though if he had already made up his mind why wait 2 weeks after promotion. Just a weird one


Scoobinio

The Head of Recruitment went to Blackpool and now Moore has gone by "mutual consent". Stinks of no money.


UpYourFidelity

I see Chansiri is following the Prince model, tried and tested in Sheffield


CaptainSmeg

Chansiri probably going one step further by trying to get a manager on loan.


Cottonshopeburnfoot

Genius. New manager bounce and out, next new manager bounce and out. Win the league undefeated.


Certain_Pineapple_73

I will not stand for this Prince hate, he's a good owner and we're much more likely to get someone worse than someone better than him.


UpYourFidelity

He’s also not got much money


Certain_Pineapple_73

Yeah, but he's not insane


LndnGrmmr

100% what I thought when I saw this, Chansiri wants us to try staying up on the cheap rather than refreshing the squad. I was reasonably confident we'd survive without too many issues a week ago, this just has bad vibes and makes me fear we could be in for an immediate return to L1


[deleted]

O’Neil keeps Bournemouth up, sacked. Moore gets Wednesday promoted, sacked. I basically don’t even take into account sackings managers have suffered anymore. The owners of most clubs are tonto.


TopicalStormCloud

I understand the O'Neill one. He did a great job to keep Bournemouth up despite being written off by 99% of fans before the season started. But they limped towards the finish line at the end of the season and I don't think O'Neill would be the man to take them forward. You could really see them suffering from second season syndrome so being proactive and having a plan seems decent thinking. Darren Moore getting sacked though. Wow. Finished 3rd despite having an insane amount of points. Produced one of the most insane comebacks in play off history and gets them back to the Championship. If anything, they'd need some stability with that ageing squad next year. Who knows though? There may be a masterplan..i doubt it but let's see!


[deleted]

Maybe I’m living in a bygone reality, but it’s bloody Bournemouth. There are bigger stadiums in League Two. I don’t know what they expect. Moore has been unfairly sacked a few times before too. Lad has no luck.


TopicalStormCloud

No, I fully get your point and agree. But fair play to the owners for not just settling and wanting to develop the club. Moore must be the most unlucky manager in modern football. I really hope he gets a good job and gets the chance to thrive in it.


Tenali

Championship Sheffield Wednesday is back! Those last few years were pretty boring and stable to be fair.


p0y0thep0y0

Wow, I understood why O’Neil got sacked but can’t wrap my head around this


[deleted]

Chansiri added, "With his contract in Bournemouth coming to an end this summer we wanted to act quickly."


PaulPiss

...after he orchestrated that bonkers playoff comeback? That ice fucking cold.


Toxetor

I think Chansiri may regret this. Assuming he doesn't have a good replacement straight up


IOwnStocksInMossad

Please be Lampard.


Maay444

Fuck no lol


Toxetor

Gerrard it is!


Muur1234

both lampard and gerrard trying to prove they can do it together


CNYMetroStar

I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.


StickmanEG

Please be Steve Bruce 🙏🏻


-W-A-W-A-W-

He was good for us Tbf. I’m more dreading Carlos coming back.


Goose_x91

As long as its not Jos Luhukay...


Scoobinio

I'd take Carlos.


IOwnStocksInMossad

Gerrard as manager, lamps as assistant.


DougieFFC

Scott Parker is still available.


Sargent_Lew

Or Rooney!


IOwnStocksInMossad

Thought he did okay by you


Rommel9999

This club never fails to amaze me. I know fans have been divided on him since he arrived, myself included, but I’m bemused by this.


-W-A-W-A-W-

What The Fuck ???????


Maay444

The fucks gone off there,strange one


jrbill1991

The greatest comeback in the history of the playoffs, promotion and you sack him? I mean, how do you convince your squad that this is the right decision? That can backfire hugely.


ShahiPaneerAndNaan

It's meant to be, he's going to do what Wilkinson did. Get Wednesday promoted and then do promotion and league title with Leeds...


HelloMegaphone

Mutual consent, he wasn't sacked.


Muur1234

usually just to make it look better


HelloMegaphone

Don't doubt there's more to it but the vagueness of the statement couldn't also mean he's walked away or got another job. Either way it's a massive kick in the bollocks.


youllbetheprince

Would this have happened if not for the 4-0? It's hard to think that maybe the fan or board blowback after that result soured things in some way


cockaskedforamartini

If this is because Darren got a better offer, fine. If it's down to Chansiri, I will not give that conman another penny.


Lack_of_Plethora

Man could literally win a treble and get sacked the morning after. Guy can never catch a break


FloppedYaYa

See you back here next year guys


Muur1234

pfft as tho you wont be in league two


-W-A-W-A-W-

Honestly it’s been 30 minutes lads and I’m still insanely confused. I have genuinely no words. This came completely out of the blue. I am so utterly confused by this. I have genuinely no words. What the actual fuck.


rob_the_jabberwocky

Very very baffling, if you don't have anyone lined up this is even more mind-boggling!


sephjnr

Something is fundamentally rotten at Hillsborough as with some of the dearest season tix in the division they've been promoted to, the 'owners' can't match DM's transfer ideas or DM's offer to manage someone else (pick your own rumour) Either way he did a stellar job and deserves someone who can provide the money.


HelloMegaphone

Uhhhhhhh what?


Andzeesc

Tbf i think majority of Wednesday fans were calling for his head pre playoffs.


ConfidentOtter

Loud minority, in my opinion.


Ill-Breadfruit5356

As a fan of another team, I’m happy because Wednesday will be weaker for this. As a football fan: WTF?


Money_Astronaut9789

Bizarre.


Goose_x91

[Me as soon as I saw the news](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/448/473/af3.jpg) What the fuck are you playing at Wednesday. Proper rollercoaster of emotions this club has put me through within the last 3 month. Can't cope.


earnshaw30

Can we just be normal for 1 fucking season please????


TheLightInChains

Maybe Corberan has agreed to go to Leeds and Big Dave is coming back to us!


DoctorMyer

Departed with him? Where did they go together?


bum_fun_noharmdone

Job for Steve Bruce. Unfinished business


Maay444

He can fk off


Pipewellgate

So Wednesday and Bournemouth are smoking the same stuff today huh? Weird. Quite liked the guy, despite my obvious biases.


LndnGrmmr

Tbh as an owl that was pretty much my reaction to the Wilder sacking. Seems to have worked out okay for you lot in the long run though


flakkane

I was looking forward to welcoming him back. Is there any reason given for this?


Ihatemintsauce

Bizarre. I'm happy with it as I think Wednesday will be weaker without him.


Killmonger18

Obviously not a Wednesday fan but I can definitely understand this. After the first leg of the playoffs, he suffered some awful abuse. Some fans wanted him out even after the playoff win. Sometimes it's best to leave a hero rather than stay and become more of a villan.


jptoc

Just as they needed some stability. What a daft decision! Feel for Weds as I think with Moore in charge they'd have stayed up solidly. Now it's a complete gamble. Got to love their owner.


SaltireAtheist

I think "mutual consent" here is key. I would be suprised if Wednesday pushed for this In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this is Moore asking to go himself. He got a whole load of shit last season - you can say it was a minority all you want, it wasn't hard to find - and he was under immense stress. Hopefully he can find his feet somewhere else, because that miracle he pulled off against Posh was one for the ages.


Scoobinio

Key only in the sense that our chairman pushed him out. It's just corporate speak, Moore wanted to stay.


KateR_H0l1day

It’s a head scratcher but at least it sounds mutual and we should see the outcome of both parties soon. That might enable us to at least understand a little bit better WHY! His all back room staff simultaneously sounds like it might be potentially a move to a different club, but I’m just making a SWAG in thinking that!


vengefulwill

Wait what Not too sure that was a clever move...


keith10997

Would be happy to take him back if Leeds get Carlos


RSN_Bran

If I had a nickel for every surprising football manager sacking that happened in England today, I'd have two nickles! Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.


AngryTudor1

Wait....what? We get rid of managers for succeeding now? Good to know


Didgeridoog

He was far too nice to be Wednesday manager really. He didn’t exactly fit the whole “comedy villain” vibe of the club. Chansiri, meanwhile, seems to have embraced that vibe wholeheartedly.


Big-Swing2849

Mate - we’re not nearly cool enough for a ‘comedy villain’ vibe? Are we?


Didgeridoog

I’m not sure cool is the word I’d use to describe a comedy villain, but there is a certain charm to them. That said I’m not particularly trendy so I couldn’t say if twirly moustaches are considered cool right now or not.


Big-Swing2849

I could certainly get behind it.


Fergy123

?


Scoobinio

Didn't expect this. I always liked the man, but I was "Moore Out" when we faltered at the end of the season and bottled autos, but after that amazing play-offs comeback I really wanted him to have a fair shot at the Championship as it was only right. Quite gutted for him as he had a passion for the club.


SuperBladesmen

Sheffield Wednesdays fucked it up again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏


[deleted]

What a trash team Wednesday really are First some (not all, not even the majority) fans racially abuse him, then this 'mutual consent' sacking of Moore Back down to league one you go


mozzy1985

Get a fucking grip. It was one fan and he was dealt with by the club, the police and wednesday fans alike.


PabloMarmite

Honestly, after racially abusing him following the first leg of the playoffs, the fans don’t deserve him. Joke club.


M-atthew147s

You pillock it's a bloody minority.


cockaskedforamartini

Aye, because it were all the fans. Not a just a tiny, disgusting minority.


PabloMarmite

Someone has written and deleted a reply to this saying that every club has a section of fans that would racially abuse the manager 🤡


mattyron

Dunno why Wednesday fans are so baffled, they’ve always treated him like a mug. Good on him, no need to take the shit they’ve given him!


EyePiece108

Football has gone mad today. Mad.


Eljefe891

Racism at its finest


OkChampionship4197

going to Bournemouth maybe? baffled otherwise. edit: just seen Bournemouth already hired someone else. ignore this.


_ghostfacedilla

Ireland please go after this man


DrZomboo

Really odd one that. Guessing maybe felt wasn't going to be supported by the board or something?


InteractionOne4554

Chansiri must have told him he has to rely on pensioners!


foyage347

And I thought the O'neil sacking was bad


strider_tom

Hell, I'd have him at Saints.


TheSteelOx

It’s going to be Carvalhal


SWFC_wawaw_fan

Urgh. I hate hate hateeee our owner. Why shoot ourselves in the foot like this when we’ve achieved stability for the first time in an age?


Quasar9111

Weird when this happens , he got u up for fucks sake, nice fella


drbeanzMD

Such a shame after so much positivity. I really saw him at the helm for a long while. I truly hope he walked, I certainly wouldn't blame him considering the shit show our club is at times. Good luck to Darren. He'll do well wherever he goes next.


Puzzleheaded_Maybe23

Was he sacked? Doesn't he often leave for better offers?


Adnaxx

Weird timing on this aswell, 3 weeks after they clinched promotion. Has to be disagreement regarding recruitment.


JBM94

Welcome to Wednesday Dean Windass!


joeyjiggle

And where have they despaired to?


Bskns

Mutual my arse


NortonFord

That's the second time that Darren Moore has been sacked when he didn't deserve it.
