Fans cheekily mock Darren Moore over his first interview as new Port Vale boss

Fans couldn’t help but cheekily mock Darren Moore over the amount of “erms” he said in his first interview as new Port Vale boss.

Darren Moore sat down with the club’s media channels for his first interview as manager of the struggling side, who are hoping to climb away from the League One relegation zone.

It was every couple of seconds that Moore couldn’t help but add an “erm” in his sentences, with Twitter users deciding to count just how many times he did so.

Turns out, he said “erm” 111 times during the nine minute interview, for those who are seemingly counting…

Fans also picked up on “football club”, of which he said a total of 22 times.

Bryan’s Gunn, who is an award-winning Twitter creator who somehow puts together hilarious football-themed videos, showing the absurdity of the language around football, could make a whole video just having Darren Moore repeat “erm” from this very interview alone…

Fans cheekily mock Darren Moore over his first interview as new Port Vale boss, cue the “erms”…
