All this "I've been told, that's what I have heard" stuff does my head in. If you have information, then why not share it? Wael will not ban you from the ground. Different era. Same old Forum behaviour. JTS - this is the second swipe you have made in last 2 days. Are you Jim in disguise? Don't worry about it mate he probably still pissy about Saturday's result

Clarke doesn't seem the type of person who will be a yes man to the Italian fool.
The trouble is it wont be long before another attractive team needs a new manager, it will only be a matter of time before he is gone imo, especially if we start well (for once!) next season.
I think its up to Wael to tell him exactly how much he intends to back him in terms or transfer fees/wages, as not giving him support will hinder him at a higher level. Conference to L2 was not that bad as many conference clubs could hold their own there, this is a jump that WILL require better quality of players.

If Leeds have made an official approach then I would bet a pound to a penny that talks have already taken place either directly or indirectly with DC. Normally I'd agree but Robinson's rejection suggests the talking was done later.

ITKs jog off into the sunset.
Next year we will probably be in bottom half with current squad. That is inevitable.
With DC, we would have to hold our nerve when another promotion (winning is a habit for supporters) is not in reach.
I think our supporters would be tolerant, especially if things were progressing off the field.
But some ITK will tell me that Wael hasn't got the money we think, so we are doomed to permanent disappointment.

Why do some keep on about the money he has?

It has t taken a bloody fortnight before we get the I heard this and I know that. I'd say that a picture paints a thousand words and the one where DC finds out Accrington drew, says more than any words

I'll jog on shall I "You're not going anywhere, you're not going anywhere !" You still on a 12 month rolling contract Jon or have the FFSC offered you a new improved 3 year deal ?!

I hope DC stays; however, if he is going to leave, lets get on with it, so our new manager can start building a team capable of winning div 1 next season. UTG

I hope that they haven't got a replacement in mind because, long termism and all that, they hadn't been considering a change and plucking names out of a hat. However, I'd be quite confident in them going about finding a replacement the right way - what's important, how to spot it, contacts in the game, take our time etc. Hopefully they won't need to.

When the time does come for DC to move on, we could do worse than asking him for a recommendation or two. His focus on bringing in players with the right mentality has brought much success and it would be a shame to go back to tempting journeyman with money and long contracts.

Or any of Wael's contacts from FIFA (or Chelsea), or the Wembley guys contacts at the FA, or get StatMan to do an algorithm, or deciding what's needed to fit into the model of football club they want to build, or any approach better than the Dunford - Higgs knee jerk of trying to solve the problem before last, chasing a name, and ignoring advice. Or, by the sound of it, the Massimo Cellino approach of pick a name, try them out, and sack em.

Personally I don't think a young manager should be consulted in the recruitment of his successor. But, I totally agree with your point about continuity of player recruitment philosophy. The expensive journeymen on long contracts era never sat at all well with me, and gasheads seemed to hate some of the football it delivered. Plus it failed. DC's sucessor needs to be interviewed for the job description he apparently created for himself, to bring on excited enthusiastic talent in the form of lads who buy into the team spirit and ethic that's recently made gasheads so proud. I just hope such interviews are not required yet. I think DC's earnt himself a longer-term contract on significantly better money with successive promotions. I for one will patiently forgive at least a season struggling to adjust to the quality of the third division. I'd rather we outlaid money on signing our manager than signing any bigtime charlie footballer. Let's reward him to keep him, and give him time to build in the third division. It's not easy. And nobody's bigger thab the club. But let's see a real career blossom at Rovers. Let him become a gas legend. It's something to hope for.

Objectively I just don't get it! We all know what a great job DC has done for us. However to a club with a rich history like Leeds I don't understand why they are looking at someone who has one year's experience (and that awful bit post Ward) of managing in the League and got a team to 3rd in L2. It's a huge gamble and if I was a Leeds fan I'd wonder what was going on.

THATS how much of a crackpot the owner is.
