This means a club trying to poach him will have to pay a lot of compensation money and that limits things to just a small number of championship clubs. Funny thing though,if were 18th in the division in november people will be demanding hes sacked and crying about the silly long term contract we gave him.

This really is great news. 5 years is some contract! Well done Wael and co. Just to level the field a bit. Some of the other lot were cock-a-hoop when Likkle Lee got a contract extension. Just remember how well that went. Obviously a different kettle of fish with our man, but it always pays to be cautious UTG

Great news and a little unexpected I feel. It means if DC has committed himself to the club hopefully others will on the back of this knowledge as it demonstrates longevity. I really do feel that the club have matched his ambition which some felt was a stumbling block - the playing field had exceeded much quicker than the off field activity so with this in mind DC must have been given certain guarantees of a new ground. And a bit like the Sh1!heads with SL wanting continuity Rovers have certainly given DC the opportunity to take this club forward through trusting him to be the man to deliver their own ambitions. A great day all round.

I don't suppose anyone wI'll know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway, am I right in thinking he signed a 2 year deal last season just after Leeds came in for him and if he did does this mean he now has a six year contract?

After not hearing anything re UWE since the take over, was feeling a bit meh, will it, won't it, no news is good news, or is it, but this DC news is really something to get us all going again. Chuffed to bits and looking forward to the new season.

I assume last season's has been scrapped for his new one, otherwise he'd be stuck on last season's pay for another year before his new contract kicked in next summer. Pretty sure this suggests DC's content to stay at Rovers for a few more years and Weal's convinced him the UWE and The Colony will both go ahead. Perhaps this explains the lack of transfer activity, DC's been concentrating on his own contract (joke).

This is a new contract that would supersede whatever he had in place before rather than a contract extension so I imagine it is 5 years, regardless of what he had before.
Great news either way.
