Before i get a lot of flak this post is not something I actually wanted to create but .....
Having supported the club for over 50 years I am very concerned how the club is currently functioning
It is fact that we have achieved very little in historical terms and almost entirely lived in the shadow of city both on and off the field
I dont agree with the stupid levels of money within football but we have to 'accept' it like most clubs
The new owners initially gave us all hope that matters might change at long last but the absence of a plan B or plan C post UWE has left us no further forward imo .... redevelopment of the Mem is not the answer and may well never get off the ground
DC is VERY ambitious and I really dont see him hanging around IF January sees no major cash available for transfer targets
We are short in at least 3/4 playing areas
People were quick to criticise Matty for leaving but city offered a better infastructure and a club run in a professional basis nevermind his personal wages increase
It is not hard to see DC being tempted in the same way

He's more likely to be sacked for our league position at the end of the season than leave for any other reason.

If Portsmouth come calling how could he resist them...a bigger Club, a bigger budget, big fan base,his Salisbury assistant works at Pompey plus he lives just down the road.

Why would Pompey recruit DC to replace Jackett?

The owners won't sack him, they know diddly squat about football so wouldn't have a clue about replacing him. I reckon they live in fear of the day he leaves. Of course, they could leave it to Hamer to find the next manager. But he thinks we should re-brand as some reincarnation of Wimbledon 1988, so I'm not entirely sure I would put a huge amount of faith in his judgment. |

Im guessing you maybe thinking i am a city fan in disguise...? No, I shall believe what you say, but you have clearly given them more thought than I have. When the league position difference is little, then I take note of our respective numbers. Otherwise, as now, I give the 1982 football department of Bristol Sport not a moment's thought. I agree that Dwane need to sort their stewardship of BRFC out. But I do not think that DC is being held back by BRFC this season. He can suggest so when he gets us defending and playing a little better than we have been recently. Until that time, he needs to get his own department in order. He has been truly great for us, but this season he has yet to prove that this may continue. |

At least the Al-Q's are structuring the business so that any personnel becomes replaceable if they should leave for whatever reason. That's business after all.
With Darryl being highly regarded in the football fraternity it gives both owners and himself the inevitable dilemma that there will be an opportunity cost in staying at the club if there should be outside offers for his services. This cost will be a combination of both salary and responsibilities (he may get a higher salary at a club such as Leeds but less of a say in the club's operations). However, should he leave then the current wider vision for both the playing staff and the club infrastructure should continue to be progressed with his replacement. The assumption is that there is a vision of course.
We should avoid the pattern of most clubs in sacking a manager (and his staff) every two years with the inevitable new guy wanted to change the infrastructure of the club. That's junior business.

I did not deny it: you're 100% right, and 100% dull. You know there was an old chap on here would love to discuss all things Gas on here, who no longer uses Gas Guzzler, because (specifically) of you. It's just boring, Sir. Why are you here? |

No hmmm about it. It’s 100% accurate 👍 Trouble with this is that both clubs have very poor histories but rovers history is even poorer than citys. Both clubs have short happy eras but have achieved nothing really. Blackpool.bolton,birmingham,QPR,ipswich,sheff wed and endless other middling clubs have a much richer history than either bristol clubs that its laughable to even bother comparing. Both bristol teams offer happy memories for supporters but in terms of success it crap v more crap. Both clubs are in the mix with gillingham,millwall,rotherham,walsall and bradford city,in other words nowhere. |

It is not hard to see DC being tempted in the same way Well Leeds United tried but failed last year. |

Why would Pompey recruit DC to replace Jackett? If Jacket is on fire as you hint ...he would be renamed a blazer !
DC has potential to get a Club hopefully BRFC into the Championship if he is backed with sufficient funds

What proof do you have Harry Buckle that Darrell has the potential if backed by sufficient funds to9 get a club into the Championship? I have seen nothing yet in his signings to provide me with the optimism that he can spend money well and obtain Championship quality players. I can see that you have used the words potential and sufficient funds but what is sufficient funds?
To me DC is a reasonable League 1 Manager at the present time and that is all. With our present performances I do not see us losing him.
