Heard Rumours he also made clear his interest for the Coventry job and was looking elsewhere on more than one occasion.Seems like there was alot going on behind the scenes. I think if Des was interviewed for the Wales Job the directors were not happy .And let's be honest the last 15/16 games we were mostly really poor we had really regressed under Des .And when he was sacked Moore did say things didn't seem right. You have to wonder what went on the players certainly were not on board. Hopefully onwards and upwards for 2025.
a bit like the whole “Des wasn’t given an Assistant” thingA fair amount of interpretation and outright speculation being accepted as fact here.

My sentiments as well, there are always two sides to a story and we're unlikely ever hear what Des feels went wrong.Time to let sleeping dogs lie.
I thought he’d done a great job, and I thought at the time it was the wrong decision to sack him.
I have calmed down and on reflection we would have been relegated with Des at the helm.
It’s always got to be about the club and moving forward.

Yep and we go so far with LM being a snake until we realised he was a human who ended up going through something none of us would wish on our worst enemy.Des has been gone 17 days, I think it’s absolutely relevant to talk about him still - whether that be truth, accusations or rumours. We debated Robinson for months and months, Manning too.
Ciaron Brown sounded reasonably positive about Des in his recent interview - said he'd played every game under Des and knew exactly what was expected of him.
If it's involuntary redundancy, his severance may be tied with a non disclosure agreement. At a guess it'll be 6 months before he can comment publicly.I don’t know how severance deals work, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Des is contractually unable to publicly discuss his ‘side of the story’, so I don’t think we’ll be hearing from him anytime soon, I guess the same applies to the club.
With that in mind it’s interesting, it appears certain things appear to be leaking which don’t show Des in the best light.
In fairness though, Ciaron Brown high on life and bouncing off the walls sounds exactly the same as Brown down in the dumps.
He’s the walking definition of not getting too high with the highs and low with the lows.
No, he was short listed but never held discussions with them.To confirm, he was actively in discussions with representatives from the Welsh FA about taking over?
Were our board informed? Were they in agreement?
In any case, no surprise he was let go if true. I am also in the unfortunate position of having to get the OK for things at work from someone less experienced, less able and absolutely unreachable. I would LOVE to sack them if I was in a senior position. Not answering your paymasters is not the brightest tactic, it's fair to say...
