With all the news of Leeds approach for Darrell will this have a negative impact on those players who have yet to sign their contracts for next season.
It has been such a tight knit group created by this manager could this make some of them reconsider whether they want to remain if he leaves ?
How big a set back could this become if Darrell does leave and other players decide they don't wish to remain at Rovers.
We would not only need to find a new manager but maybe a whole set of new players who would need to be integrated into the squad.

Another concern would be the players he may take with him if he leaves (eg) Lockyer ?

We're so over a new squad of journeymen every season. We've so enjoyed following the development of a real team, who care about their Gas careers, who get almost as excited as we do, who when they run out of talent run their guts out instead. I know I'm repeating another thread, but while nobody's bigger than the club, DC's contract should be the biggest business of the summer. Let him grow and develop THIS TEAM, make a career, write Gas legend. It makes such a nice change to have something as philosophical to want to keep hold of. |

I honestly think this is Wael's biggest decision since he has brought the club. The players have been brought together by a great leader, he has got the best out of, and let's be blunt a bunch of players who had been plying their trade in or around the national league (with the exception of a few). A goalkeeper that was not wanted was once again brought into the fold. How many managers could have done that? A manager who is not afraid to be recorded with the fans whilst celebrating (print that you b*stard!), a manager who is one of our own. I hope he takes that into consideration and looks at how the mad Italian has treated other good managers. Will players leave, if he does then I think a few might not sign on the dotted line, should he stay then maybe only one or two will go if any.

Conversely, if DC decides to stay and main nucleus of players concur, that sends a huge positive message in waves throughout the club and possibly division3.. |

I'm surprised clubs took this long to come in for him. Leeds are THE sleeping giant but how the club is run is a joke and Washington has stability at brfc. And money!! |

Let's also put a bit of perspective in that has Brown not scored that 92nd minute goal against D&R or if Puddy would have been sent off v Grimsby in the play-off signing then DC@s stock would not have been so great. Such fine margins as football are. Conversely had Gazza poked in the goal against Germany in Euro 96 then Venables would have been held an England great or had Bayern held firm against Man U in the Champions League then Sir Fergie would have been Fergie. |

Such fine margins as football are. Convrsely had Gazza poked in the goal against Germany in Euro 96 then Venables would have been held an England great or had Bayern held firm against Man U in the Champions League then Sir Fergie would have been Fergie. If it wasn't for the "Russian" linesman we'd probably be talking about 86 years of hurt, rather than 50, and there'd be no boys of '66 to lionise. However, we're talking about football; it's a game of fine margins, but the better side usually triumphs in the end. So it seems unfair to exclude certain footballing incidents and call it "perspective"; these things all happened, whereas the alternative didn't. So Fergie is Sir Fergie, Terry is just El Tel and Darrell Clarke's managerial stock is rightly as high as its ever been right now. |

Fortunately En-ger-land never one a title in the last 20 years therefore we don't have to live with Sir John Terry, Sir Rio Ferdinand or Sir Cashley Cole. |

Triumph and disaster are imposters, and should be treated as such. Check yer Kipling. |

DC is too sensible to take the vacant? job at Leeds - if I am wrong then he will be blowing his whole carreer

If DC does leave, what would the new manager think of his team? They all play their hearts out for DC but no guarantee that they would with a new guy in post. In any case he would probably have his own ideas of what it takes to survive in L1.
Doesn't bear thinking about! UTG

I'd hope firstly that they wouldn't act like a bunch of pussies and man-up.
Managers come and go, they should be proud that they have helped the club and in turn the manager move on to bigger things, some of them will too if they keep it going. Some players may not want to stay without DC, in that case thank you and goodbye, nobody is bigger than the club. If DC does go we are in a much better position to attract replacements than we were 2 years ago.

Now Lockyer and Brown are signed, bar Matty Taylor the rest would be desperate to sign as this level is a fantastic opportunity for them.
