Tom Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/feb/17/ronnie-moore-tranmere-rovers-suspended-betting Tranmere Rovers have suspended their manager, Ronnie Moore, while the Football Association determines whether he has breached betting rules. On Friday it emerged that the FA wanted to speak to the 61-year-old Rovers manager over allegations he broke rules by betting in a competition in which Tranmere were involved. Moore took charge of Tranmere on Saturday in the 2-2 draw at Bristol City and conducted his press conference on Monday before the game at Crawley Town on Tuesday. The League One club issued a statement on Monday evening which said they were suspending Moore until the conclusion of the FA's investigation. A statement on the club's website read: "Tranmere Rovers have announced that with immediate effect manager Ronnie Moore has been suspended until the conclusion of a Football Association investigation into a potential breach of betting rules. Assistant manager, John McMahon, has been placed in temporary charge of first-team affairs. The club will be making no further comment until the outcome of the investigation." Could this help us, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 He wasn't suspended on Saturday, was he, smarty-pants. Still would of had an affect considering the news broke out on Friday about the allegations Although I can see it having an affect for the rest of their campaign, starting tonight I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Could this help us, perhaps? Hopefully they will lose in their game at Crawley tonight and we can stay ahead of them in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Could this help us, perhaps? Only if they got a points deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Only if they got a points deduction. Is there a precedent for this? There are murmurings that the bet in question was an FA Cup game (against Bolton). We'd have to wait and see. Ronnie Moore is held in high esteem up there and surely this would rock the team. Or will it galvanise them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red white and red Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Teams often play better with no manager so probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
