Darren Moore has been sacked by Huddersfield Town after four months and 23 games, of which he only won 3.
The right decision, as it was clearly not working out. He's a nice guy by all accounts, but definitely a case of the wrong man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Prior to this appointment Moore had a pretty good win record over his career though that may have been inflated by his ridiculous points total with Sheffield Wednesday last season, which was in third tier.
The next appointment is absolutely crucial. Doubt we can play the Warnock card again for obvious reasons. Whoever it is, he won't be in charge for Saturday against (ironically) Sheffield Wednesday, which is now even more of a "six-pointer".
Flares are probably a red herring, in other countries flares are commonplace and (rightly or wrongly) considered part of the culture. Injuries from flares seem pretty rare compared to how often they're used in those places.

Even in the dark days of the 70s and 80s, use of weapons was frowned upon by the hooligan "firms". That said, the trouble we see these days is less "organised" so more likely for innocent fans including families to get caught up in it. Part of the new problem seems to be cocaine use.On one YouTube video someone throws a red flare onto the pitch at WBA Vs Wolves. If you can smuggle a flare in then it must be even easier to conceal a blade. Incredible given the increase in knife crime that fans aren't properly frisked on entry!
