According to respected journalist Alan Nixon, Darren Moore is Port Vale’s number one target to replace Andy Crosby.
Crosby was dismissed after the 3-0 loss to Fleetwood Town and according to Nixon the appointment of Moore is the club’s top priority. Nixon said that Moore may be open to a quick turnaround with the Valiants apparently looking to install a new boss as soon as possibility. Moore’s experience and win ratio may also make him a more attractive prospect for Vale fans than some of the other names linked to the position.
Moore was last in charge of Championship side Huddersfield Town before departing on the 29th January. The 49 year-old won promotion with Sheffield Wednesday in 2023. He also enjoyed a lengthy playing career which included over a hundred games for West Brom and International appearances for Jamaica.

Darren Moore YES
Darren Moore would do a great job at the Vale
YES,think he has enough to drag us out of this blackhole,
I’d take Darren Moore no problem ,we need a gritty no nonsense kind of manager. He takes no prisoners and says things how he sees it .Oh and his record is pretty good also ,it’s a yes from me.
hope so,but his wage will be a stumbling block
Yes Darren Moore would be a good fit he is no yes man and would want to bring his own players
He LEFT Sheffield wednesday because there was no investment in new players,,,,,,has he seen our investment in players?…………
. Sorry Darren
O yes please
Don’t talk about do it asap
Yes would be excellent appointment with goal to survive this year and rebuild for next.
His experience would make it a sound signing, Yes please
Vale’s prospects of steering clear of relegation would likely take a giant leap forward under the experienced Moore, an experienced and reliable EFL Manager.
Failing that, Gary Bowyer would be a comparable appointment. Decent track with two EFL play off appearances, led Dundee to the Scottish Championship title and was also that division’s Manager of the Year 2023. When manager of Blackburn he even masterminded the 4-1 defeat of EPL Stoke in the 2015 FA Cup.
Yes absolutely has the experience we need & would show ambition from the club
100% yes. Great bloke, great player and a fantastic manager.
His appointment mite see me goin again, Good Manager and a top top bloke 5 star.
no chance with what money he would command. Look around non league or Neil Baker till the end of season.
Who ever takes over good luck but for tomorrow’s game I say to will Ryder and Matt done play mighten from the start with Wilson up front with his pace and Wilson’s passing skills could be start of a good partnership
Yes knows the league owners must support him though
More than happy even as a short term fix (his choice).
Darren would be a fantastic appointment. Not sure Vale have the funds to convince him to sign though.
From a West Brom fan that happens to live in Stoke, but loves the Valiants.
I think this could be a great appointment. He’ll bring a load of passion and players get behind him.
Hope it happens
Sheffield Wednesday couldn’t afford him so how on earth can we, no chance! no one but the most desperate out of work manager will come to the Vale and be another scapegoat for Flitcroft’s appalling failings. As long as Carol keeps that clown in power the club is only going one way .
Darren Moore, proper football manager, old school.
Yes yes yes.
My prediction is he would keep us up ,then push for promotion next season i also think the players would play for him ,i liked mr Moore as a player he wore his heart on his sleeve and with a bit of luck and a good run he will win over the fans …….and off we go . So its a yes from me ! UP THE VALE
Please no! When Wednesday came to Vale last season I couldn’t believe a manager like Darren could encourage such cheating, play acting, and feigning injuries. I don’t want to be watching a team like that.
