Recall saying about Delap last year of all the clubs in the Championship alone before you began to mention the clubs across Europe he could have gone to he ended up at Stoke. Id echo your sentiments a bit here. 

Look Smallbone ended up doing okay under Neil and Moran would be seen as his replacement in terms of where they play on the pitch so at least that.

Stoke are a big club, Neil could get a tune out of them next season if they get their recruitment right. A move there for Moran with a defined ready made role for him as the CAM wouldnt be the worst by any means.

If Stoke fans had a pound for everytime this was said since relegation they could start a coin collection.

Its true though - having said that there are a lot of big clubs down there in a similar position. Neil knows the division well and did pretty well in the second half of the season with them. Not sure how their finances are these days, but I dont see why a move to Stoke (where there is already a defined role for him) would be bad for Moran!
