Okay guys just thought I'd make a poll up to see what the general opinion is, up to you if you answer or not.

Can you amend the poll?
Yes.. but only if it is someone who is not currently on the board that appoints the next manager.

stay for now. a new manager would be stuck with this team. give DC to november and if still the same then get rid. allows time for higgs to have another holiday in italy for 2 weeks and there would still be time available for a new manager to come in and assess the squad in time for the transfer window.
in an ideal world, get rid now and get in a new manager but seriously, we are a micky mouse club with no money so what manager would want to come here knowing the fans will get on their back quickly and create a bad atmosphere in the process and also knowing managers come and go as quick as a alcoholics drink!

I think he should go.
Basic errors with tactics and non strategy.
Players again not playing to their potential.
Terms like clueless and not acceptable performances can be made once in a while, but we've games I has been used twice in away matches.
I'm faithful and true. I fear what I see on the pitch isn't. And if am wrong, and they are, the manager is not getting the best out of them, yet still picking them next match.
Heavy heart says CLARKE OUT!
Will always support and never boo, but that's my instinct..

Would we be doing any worse if we didn't even have a manager right now? I fail to see that we would which answers the question as to what, if any, worth DC has as our manager.  |

Marcus Stewart would do just as good a job, if only because he has the "medals", as it were, and would be respected by the players. Not as manager, but as a caretaker. Then we should appoint a "headhunter" with football knowledge to advise on the next appointment. Plenty of people talked in the past about the likes of Richard Money and look what he has achieved at Cambridge.

We're not going anywhere this season (hopefully!), so don't really see the harm in giving him until the new year to see if he can get his team playing.

The problem is that all you need to do is read this forum to see, almost every day, another person saying that enough is enough and they won't be back untill things change. That reduction in revenue means bigger losses. Those losses are normally covered by loans which I believe are secured against the stadium. Now here comes the problem, if Sainsbury's don't complete, and at the moment that doesn't look very likely, then the value of the stadium probably isn't much more than the loans that are already secured against it. Higgs has stuck the family silver on Red, and the ball is rattling in the jaws of Black. |

This thread was started after the Braintree defeat. Since then we have won 3 from 3.
Poll shows in total 86 people voted:
48 voters said Keep DC
31 voters said get rid of DC
7 voters said dont care
The poll allows people to change their mind which is good as saves a new thread being made in the future.
So does anyone want to change their votes or is everyone still happy with their vote?

It actually says : "No, makes no difference, problems lie a lot deeper within the club". I'd rather just have two boxes, yes he should stay, no he shouldn't stay. |

I rarely support the sacking of managers midseason.
Didn't think sacking Trollope was the right call, wasn't massively enthused by the sacking of Atkins, certainly didn't think sacking Penney was a good idea, still not sure sacking Buckle was a great move (at the time or in the long run), didn't agree with sacking Ward either - pretty much the only ones I ever agreed with was Mcghee because I didn't think he knew what he was doing in League 2 anymore (hence signing of over the hill Scots Prem players) and had clearly split the dressing room and Ollie because it was clear that the poor bloke had completely lost his sanity under the stress so it was the best for both parties. Therefore I hope we stick with Clarke.
I don't understand why people get so excited about the sacking of managers - it's a massive admittance of failure. Personally, I think we should be allowed to get our remaining season ticket money back if they sack the manager - because it's not what I paid to watch (I'm only joking but it does sum up my attitude - I never think it's a good thing). Conversly I think a lot more managers should be sacked at the end of seasons - the truth is managers are still what they we originally created to be in the 1920s; convenient scapegoats for the failures of both the owners of clubs and the players who play for them.

I don't comment on these BRFC forums because generally it's full of half wits who change their opinions at the drop of a hat or moan because that is the next best thing to sex. But there we have it. My thoughts are these, Darryl Clark has got our team to a position which is where I thought we'd finish, after only 10 games, I did'nt think this possible considering what happened last season. After the Halifax game I was of the opinion that the playoffs were there for the taking and now I can seriously see us going straight back up (that'll upset the obsessed side of Bristol!!). Just my opinion before I getted moaned at. Quietly, carefully he is building a strong squad, theres no prima donnas, no injury prone signings that we've chased for months on end, the players that have signed show they want to play for us, we seem to be fitter, faster and more energetic and we have a good TEAM SPIRIT! Now is the time to get behind the club from top to bottom not get behind our keyboards and whinge and moan. The TEAM SPIRIT now needs to come from the terraces and stands. GET BEHIND 'EM!!!!
BETTER DEAD THAN RE, UP THE GAS
