There has been a fair few manager departures in recent weeks and I expect there will be even more to come. I can see some clubs will look at Darrell's record and think they want a bit of Darrell. Both Charlton and Sheffield United went in for Northampton's manager this week. Do you think we will see clubs trying to get Darrell this summer as well? I dont think Darrell will leave yet but I will be surprised if no clubs attempts to go for him.

I dont think Darrell will leave yet but I will be surprised if no clubs attempts to go for him. I can't see another club in League 1 attracting him but say if a club like Norwich came in for him it could be very tempting for him but we have the financial clout now to achieve his ambitions so I don't really expect him to go but like you I wouldn't be surprised if one or two clubs make enquiries about him.

Cardiff have a vacancy. No ties to them but local. I cant see his head being turned tbh. Not sure if any championship team would take a punt.

Yes. Not yet maybe, but our successive promotions will not have gone unnoticed in boardrooms of third division clubs. Higher division boards likely have made a note to monitor what he does with us in the third.
I think he'll stay for the whole season. I don't expect him to be sought after to dig anyone out of a relegation zone, since his name is built on promotions, not survival against the odds. He'll be wanted by boards of underachieving mid-table clubs eyeing promotion.
Also, my impression is that he's not finished with us. He strikes me as a manager aspiring to build something - more interested in longer-term team-builiding than job-hopping. I hope I'm proven right there.

He knows that he'll be worth more with a third promotion which is attainable with a foundation he's helped build compared to jumping into a club like Charlton where there is issues wider than just the playing squad

It's better to soar with the wind than have your wings burnt aspiring for too much too soon. He seems a level headed chap and won't want to join the ranks of journeymen failed managers plying their trade back where they began when he could become a Championship manager in a year's time anyway, and through all his own work. He may have considered offers if we hadn't been bought up, but not now I don't think. He'll want to be part of this journey.

I am not sure why anyone, who's immediate career is not time limited ( like Taylor for example), would want to leave a club that is so clearly on such a steep upward curve. There can be few chances to be part of an exceptional club in possibly the most optimistic period in their history since the 1970's. Thanks to Wael we have a fanatical yet sensible owner who understands the soul of BRFC, yet has the financial backing to make a real difference. DC could establish himself as our greatest ever manager, in a new stadium supported by a fan base who's potential has never yet been unlocked. Bristol is one of the largest cities in England. Good manager, new stadium, financial security, forward thinking club and great fans. There are plenty of examples of clubs who were in L1 a few seasons ago that have seen their trajectory point only up when in similar circumstances; man city, Brighton, Swansea etc. There will be offers made to DC but why start again when momentum is with you?

I hope DC doesn't go. Because if he does I can see him taking a few players with him.

There isn't a Championship club that would take a gamble on him and why would he join a L1 club? So unless there's a real left field offer for him, he won't be anywhere else.
If he does well again next season (like a top 7) then you might see something interesting from elsewhere.
Not yet though. He's unproven in L1.

I think that main reason that will stop the championship clubs and possible premier is that, even though he has achieved well with us, he still is not a known unknown and that he stil doesn't have the contacts within the upper echelons. I don't normally make any analogies or comparisons to the job I did on sales but it is very similat now. Big companies would test the water with me because of the contacts I had built up. I was head hunted by 2 massive blue chip companies and precisely for those contacts. They were prepared to pay a higher remuneration package to get access to that. I think it is exactly the same with football in that it's not what you know but more it's who you know and DC, for all the great work he has done, he still is building up those contacts. He is not a familiar name as yet. People such as Warnock and even Gary Johnson get job offers because of the people they know and the access that brings in the loan market and comes to play when transfers are dealt with. If DC had the contacts then I am 100 % positive that he would be inundated with offers.

Barnsley's fan's thought squeaky Lee wasn't the real deal and without him there they have won a cup and in the playoffs. He be stumped next season when the loan system changes, the team will not be able to be made up of other teams players

I hope that you don't mind me saying, but you appear to be a lot calmer since your mob avoided relegation. Up until that point you were a bit of a pain to be honest with you. I much prefer the calmer, less confrontational version of kaiser, that talks a bit of sense.

You'd have to say he passed that part with flying colours so far with good results and beating very good sides with some quality football.

Other teams can see that he's a clever tactician but it's just a case of us hanging on to him and building and tweaking in a few positions if we can keep key players. Bring on l1

Currently we have Gimp Kaiser, he likes to be disobedient so he gets repremanded, he seems to really get off on that. He will be loving this now, probably got mrs Kaiser popping on his mask and lead right now!

Pompey are sniffing around apparently. I could see why he would be tempted if that is the case. If he does stay, I sincerely hope (but doubt) that if we encounter a slightly dodgy spell next season, we don't see posts along the lines of 'DC reached his level in League Two'.
