CLUB STATEMENT ON DARRELL CLARKE
PUBLISHED 12:30 24th May 2016 Bristol Rovers can confirm that they have received an approach from Leeds United to speak to Darrell Clarke regarding him taking over as manager at Elland Road. As yet, the Yorkshire side have failed to meet the conditions set out by Rovers to enable any talks to take place and until that happens there is nothing else to report. We can also confirm that Rovers have offered Darrell a new and improved three-year contract to remain as Bristol Rovers manager. Bristol Rovers will not make any further comment until, and unless, there have been any further developments.

I'm glad the board have offered DC a 3 year deal, but that means nothing other than a PR move if the wage offer is unsatisfactory. I hope for all concerned that it's a bumper 3 year deal that can be signed and sealed and we can get on with the summer break.

I hope for all concerned that it's a bumper 3 year deal that can be signed and sealed and we can get on with the summer break. I want him to stay but not at any cost. I'm sure the board have offered him a contract that reflects his worth to us as a club but I'm sure they will be considering alternatives. There is no point offering him silly money. Perpetual success will lead to further offers, one of which will no doubt prove too good to turn down. Life will go on and having a long term plan and a clearly defined ethos should help us appoint the right successor be that now or sometime down the line. Successful clubs aren't afraid of losing their best players and managers but they have the ability to find replacements of equal or better quality more often than not. From DC's perspective I think they will be hard to turn down regardless of whatever we offer if he feels he can succeed despite their setup. He'd be one good season away from the Premier League. Despite it all, Leeds finished last season mid-table in the second tier; a feat we haven't achieved for 25 years. Our best chance of keeping him is that he concludes that he won't be able to manage the way he wants to at Leeds and that as a result no one could succeed at the club. |

No more summer break! I can't abide waiting like this and want to get to the Championship as soon as possible, if not quicker.
