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. The transfer market is so skewed and insane now, what constitutes having money and knowing how to spend it?
if we got to the championship, or DC goes there, the money becomes even more insane. Currently people are talking about Nicholls at circa 300k being a poor signing for the money and wanting proven scorer, but in The championship you will be looking at £5m plus to get hold of one of them
Clubs will look at DC and the job he has done and think he has done well with relatively little I suspect and that's why they would take a punt on him
The question for me id I don't think DC will just go to any club, he will want to go the right club for him that fits the way or will allow him to work the way he wants to work

With our present performances I do not see us losing him. Could that be because of our budget??? Lol How can you judge his signings, when he has only been allowed to sign players, other teams no longer want, free transfers and loans. It's not like he has spent a lot of money and we have a smaller first team squad than last season! We over achieved last season, this season we are trying to change the squad, which will take a few seasons to do properly with our budget. Overall though 4 promotions in 6 full seasons, would suggest DC knows how to get teams promoted. We will struggle to sign championship quality players on our budget. We will have to sign league 1 or lower players and try to improve them over time. DC is still fairly young for a manager and still learning.

I think our steady progress is still happening.Okay,we have had a poor run of results,but progress does'nt mean winning every game. I think DC,MS and Wael will be regularly chatting about all Rovers related stuff and we',ll soon enough get back on course. DC will not leave in January and with abit of luck will lead us to the 2nd tier in a season or two.

Don't see him going to the championship in January,he's not a 'saviour' type manager so no sides in trouble would turn to him,and although he has a very good promotion record to date,having no experience at the higher level would count him out for a faltering promotion hopeful in that division.A big league one club who are underachieving would be the only move in January on the cards,someone like Bradford/Charlton/Portsmouth if they are faltering badly but those clubs and all the others perceived as big clubs are doing well or fairly well at the moment so that exit avenue for Darrell looks unlikely right now.Peterborough could be a possible I suppose but although they have money to burn I don't think he would go there unless he now knows we will not be making the infrastructure progression that was still live when he signed his 5 year contract.Think he will go next season though if nobody comes in for him in before then.

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. Agreed DC started as a young assistant manager from a low base the club were struggling under very experienced managers Ward & McGhee. My early conversations with DC at that time astounded me with his knowledge and self belief which has proven to be measured proof of two promotions albeit with little funding and his ability to spot a diamond in the rough ....Taylor, Bodin and the ability to improve non leaguers Sinclair, Leadbitter, Clarke J to name just a few.
Sercombe, Slocombe and in time Nichols will prove to be good signings in my view.
As a coach/manager DC is his own man and his projects, team changes and effective use of attacking subs are now legendary !
He showed loyalty ...rare as hens eggs by remaining when Leeds United came calling. That for me said a lot about the man. His stock is currently low due to a series of poor results/performances.
However, he must have been personally upset at the loss of Matty Taylor for just £300k to our local rivals, plus the UWE situation and lack of progress on the training ground.
But for me he needs our active support and even more so the financial support of our owners to take us to the next level. Starting on Sat and the following Tuesday we need two home wins to kick start our season.

The sh*t got one for £300k...... Remind me, how many goals has Taylor scored for 1982 in about 30 games? The poster was referring to PROVEN Championship strikers!

I'd agree with most of that Harry. Apart from "Nichols will prove to be good signing". I reckon he's on 18 appearances (7 as sub) with 0 goals. He's bearing down on Luke James stellar 24 appearances and 0 goals (if wikipedia is correct). Is that the record for a barren spell for a Rovers striker? Over to you...

Bang on. £300k is nothing for a League 1 striker, and doesn't guarantee you anything.
Probably the cheapest player we could have got who has a recent record of scoring 20+ goals in more than one season in League 1 is Billy Sharp, and he would have cost a lot more than £300k (plus he wouldn't want to come here)

Well Leeds United tried but failed last year. They failed to entice DC despite offering him half a million pounds a year wages. Nice Typhoon you've got there in your garage; you at RR? Single seat, or twin seat? If twin do you do lifts to away games?

Agreed with Harry about Nicholls, far better and different player to Luke James.
As for Taylor, he was class in our division and without him and despite the best player in the division, we missed him.
At the moment, we're Bodin FC. Until that diamond is polished again, we'll go nowhere.

The sh*t got one for £300k...... Taylor wasn't and still isn't anywhere near close to be being a proven Championship goal scorer. You're looking at £10m+ for one of them.

If twin do you do lifts to away games? Retired now but spent 36 years testing development and production engines, I was involved in the EJ200 project from the first start.

It's good to see the EJ200 finally undergoing trials in the Bloodhound! I'm in ABW, so know a few guys over there in RR.
