Very positive news that Darryl is not Houdini, as this means he isn't able to escape.

Maybe he is p*ssed off with it all, but he seems to be going about his business professionally and as he says at BRFC he is allowed to just get on with it.
If we have a good season this year, I don’t expect him to be here next season anyway as surely someone will come in for him.

Another manager in a long list who have been fed empty promises, fingers crossed that when he does go that the club have the sense to replace him with MS or CH.
His article IMO screams of clearing the way for a move to an ambitious club and looking to leave this circus.

His article IMO screams of clearing the way for a move to an ambitious club and looking to leave this circus. He has signed a 5 year contract that clearly suits him, I presume the contract is solid and meaningful and not just full of promises. I read the article differently, in as much as the infrastructure is paramount. That starts with the backroom staff, training facilities, and the pitch. Some of this is already in place, and some is work in progress. |

Proof, as if it were needed, that Steve Hamer is indeed a bullsh*tter. Amen, brother. Or sister. (unless you're a scab!? Haha!) Thing is......i don't think many actually care! |

I am not going to say he isn't unhappy as only DC really knows, but 18 or so months ago a training ground, the extra staff and all these development players weren't even a thing at all in the dying days of Higgs and co.
Even if we announced a few weeks ago work was starting on UWE and the training ground, it would take 2,3,4 years before these tings really start kicking in anyway and I would have thought DC long gone by then snapped up by someone else higher up the food chain if he continues doing the job he has

At least we are moving into the training ground next summer even if all of the building work isn't quite complete - so that's a quick win. |

I think people are getting confused by the difference between having one of the top 6 budgets in the division and a budget that allows us to compete for the top 6. I suspect the first is what DC is referring to in this interview and the second is what Hamer was referring to back in June.

It appears the EP have taken selected excerpts from the Sky article linked elsewhere on here. I always prefer to hear an interview, rather than read the bits a journalist chooses to print.

When you read the whole sky sports interview its not at all negative by the manager.
Nothing has changed with dc and rovers imo.
Every player and every manager at all clubs can be poached by bigger clubs and that applies to dc as well but right now its business as usual.
I dont think the budget is all that small especially when you include the coaching and player recruitment with the development squad.
We have also signed 8 players including 2 for a decent transfer fee with 5 or maybe 6 on good salary.
So many positives at the club right now after years of neglect.

Getting very sick of this toxic pessimism - perhaps this is just a minority of miserable b'stards that all clubs have. Some people, it seems, will NEVER have a good word to say about anything in our club. They will leap to the worst possible conclusion from the tiniest detail, declare it irrefutable fact and proof that BRFC is doomed. Stirring the pot from afar, based on hearsay and cherry-picked quotes, is much easier than doing actual research or having a shred of optimism and faith in the club. Even if UWE went off flawlessly, was the swishest stadium in the country and we were playing in the Prem in 5 years time, guaranteed these people would be going "Hmph. The atmosphere's not the same." I F |_| C K I N G hate unnecessary negativity and seeing any one of us scaremongering like this. We're playing good football on the pitch and for the first time in years have some actual depth options. If we could make that our focus instead of trying to bring everything into a lull of doom and gloom, it would make this life sentence as a Gashead that much more enjoyable. |

I am afraid that its always been the same,do you know that after the 9-0 defeat by Spurs some people were just moaning about the score ? its true ! they hardly mentioned that Glynn Jones had a good game !...the miserable blighters. |

But unfortunately I think the thing that has caused this is the probable end of the UWE saga, if it has ended. It seems to have caused a big bubble to burst and all the hopes of many gasheads has disappeared. I might be wrong but I just think after so many years of hope about the new ground it has caused a big "where do we go from here" moment especially as there appears to be no plan B. There's always negativity but there has been negativity with trumps over the past month and I think the UWE and accompanying rumours about problems has been the cause. UTG! |

If DC leaves because of the Board,then I think I would 'take a break' from Rovers too.
Too many false dawns.This time something has to happen.Training ground and a New Mem.
Today,keeping hold of Bodin would be nice.

Keep the faith Steve, yes we have been there before but from the input for the development squad I think we can be self sufficient on the playing side Alan |
