Moore arrived at Croud Meadow as the club’s first ever director of football last summer during a period of change for Salop.
Steve Cotterill left when Moore arrived at Shropshire, before Matt Taylor arrived along with a number of new players.
Taylor was sacked at the start of 2024 after a poor run of results, with fan favourite Paul Hurst returning to guide Salop to League One safety.
During his first year at the club, Moore has received criticism from sections of the Salop fan base for some of the recruitment decisions that have been made.
Moore addressed the judgement and criticism from supporters during an appearance on the In The Stiffs podcast this week and admitted mistakes had been made during his first season at the club.
However, Moore urged supporters to look at the success he achieved during a long spell at his previous club Cheltenham Town, where the club achieved promotion to League One, reached the fourth round of the FA Cup and earned £1.5m in transfer fees.
He also insisted that it will take more than a year to achieve similar success at Croud Meadow.
He said: “Mistakes were made last year, 100 per cent, I will never be ashamed of that.
“100 percent mistakes were made, but I’m big enough, old enough, and ugly enough to admit that and we all need to learn from mistakes.
“I would say at the moment if you sat in a pub with Shrewsbury fans some would say we don’t want a director of football and if we do we don’t want Micky.
“Some will say they’re not sure. Others will say he’s had a difficult time in two transfer windows, we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
“When I went to Cheltenham some fans said they didn’t like him.
“When a signing is made, fans judge based on what the player has done at his previous club, or if they have never heard of him, they say: let’s see what he is like.
“People have judged me well or badly, but if you look at what I have done in my previous work, it is nothing but success.
“Now, I’m not brilliant by any means, but people are quick to judge me and expect a certain amount of success.
“I’ve said it before, it doesn’t matter where you are at the beginning, but when you leave.
“When Steve (Cotterill) came in they were fighting to avoid relegation – it took three years and six or seven windows to get to 12th place so it’s not going to happen overnight.
“It takes time. I know some people have already made up their minds, but I went through that at Cheltenham.
“What I find difficult is that people have made judgments without knowing me and have made judgments based on seven or eight months of work, rather than looking at the last few years.
“In the end, everyone will judge me by what they want to judge me by.”
Moore discussed a number of topics during his wide-ranging interview, including Taylor’s sacking, Hurst’s re-appointment and the current transfer window.
He also touched on Salop’s budget for the new season and how they rank compared to other League One sides, while also addressing what success will look like for Salop ahead of the current campaign.
And Moore insists the first objective is for Salop to retain their League One status.
He said: “There haven’t been any big gaps in the league in recent years since Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland were in it.
“For a few years it was pretty even, but now it’s back to another level.
“Birmingham will have the biggest budget in League One history, that’s a fact.
“Huddersfield and Rotherham are big clubs, then there’s Mansfield, Stockport and Wrexham, who will be up there with the top teams.
“There are about 12, 13, 14 teams that will have double and triple our budget, and then clubs that will have a budget five or six times bigger than ours.
“We will be there without a doubt, there is no point in lying about it.
“I mean, at the moment we’re the longest-serving side in League One and that shows in a good or bad way, no matter which side of the fence you want to sit on.
“It’s brilliant every year if you can maintain your status in League One, that’s the first objective.
“Some might see it as a negative comment and take it in a negative or positive way.”
