What does he know about Rovers though our turnover, sticking by the rules etc? Or is he suckered in by the old rich foreign owner sh**e He said from the outside looking in...this is what he sees given the circumstances around our club, and it echoed a lot of questions and opinions of our own fans. I’m sure he has spoken with DC over the years about various circumstances, perhaps even about a management role after they have sacked someone...who knows... He also didn’t say, with the rich owners at Rovers unexpected them to spend millions, all he said was that he expected them to back DC a little more in the first team squad than has been done so far. Stop guessing - I know Darragh MacAnthony personally, probably as well as Barry Fry - and if you read between the lines Fry is saying what he wishes MacAnthony should do at Peterborough. Instead, MacAnthony has reduced his stake in his club - is that what you want from our owners? We are in good safe hands which is better than we were two years ago |

But that is Barry Fry not knowing everything or picking and choosing his info. What good is throwing money at DC when the club has no infrastructure to back it up. Surely the development squad and the training ground are all part of the things the club need to succeed longer than DC possibly being here as a manager Barry Fry has the support of a Lansdown clone who has squillions and where are they? Fry is an engaging character but would you want him at our club? Evolution is the name of the Rovers game and DC is tuned in to that - he is great at bringing on the youngsters - Ollie, Ellis, Tom and the new influx like Broadbent - rather Rovers than the posh thanks. P’Boro don’t spend big either..they develop talent albeit with a slightly different method. I wasn’t suggesting we should follow the pboro model either!! Listen to the interview!! |

We are in good safe hands which is better than we were two years ago I’m not guessing at anything...I listened to what his interview said and commented thereafter. You are so wrapped up in pro board support regardless of any comment it’s confusing your postings. There was no second agenda, he was asked a comment about Rovers and gave his opinion based on what he knows, or thinks he knows. And if you know him so well, why not ring him up and ask him to clarify. Unless it’s another “i know everyone” fantasy. |

He just gave fatty Fry 300 odd grand for TN. Of course he thinks Darrell should be given more money. This is like kids at school bullying a classmate for his dinner money, and then going round his house to tell his parents he's looking a bit thin.

Interesting take on it, made me laugh but frown at the same time. |

DC has said at recent open meetings "that he would love a top six budget" as he could get BRFC where he thinks they should be. I would love a mansion and a Ferrari but I'm realistic in knowing that I'm not going to get them anytime soon unless I win the lottery (for BRFC read "get bought out by a tax dodging lady garden with more money than sense"). DC may say that but he also accepts the situation the club is in and knows there are limits to how big his budget can be right now. Consider this....DC signed a 5 year contract only last year, he did that with his eyes wide open and therefore knowing the financial limitations of the club, does anyone seriously think he was duped into doing that? As others have said apart from the fact that he has been given a budget to spend on new players the owners have continually backed him and the club in many other ways such as increasing his coaching set up, more back office staff, small improvements at the mem, development squad and even relaying the bloody pitch (less said the better about that one!) which was specifically requested by DC. Sorry, I don't buy into the fact that DC hasn't been backed by the owners. All I see is continual improvements on all fronts including the playing budget. It's easy to forget where we came from not that long ago....the conference. He signed the contract believing there was every chance of the UWE going ahead and thinking he would get a considerably higher budget for this season. Hopefully he has come to terms with that situation. |

He also would have known that UWE wasn't necessarily a done deal, I'm sure he was disappointed as we all were. In terms of the playing budget, I haven't heard DC publicly say his budget was cut short from what he was promised before he signed a contract, have you? |

Lansdown is worth nearly £2 billion and some reports say he has invested over £150m in city,mccanthony is miles away from lansdowns wealth or investment in his football club. Peterborough have also made huge amounts of money by selling players on,mostly young players they signed for a modest fee and sold for a big fee. |

He told me at a development game after a conversation about the young players names that he was disappointed with the budget and was hoping for a much higher one. Since that conversation hes more or less said this on BRFC interviews so im not really adding anything to what hes already said imo. He also said he was upset about the collapse of the UWE though he didnt direct any blame at the owners. It was at a game at yate town fc,he left at half time as we played at wolves that night. |

Fair enough, didn't realise you had spoken directly to DC about these matters. Guess we'll find out in the summer if he's "come to terms with the situation" won't we. Judging by DC's mood right now when he is being interviewed before / after games and recently when on 20 man he seems happy enough. Fingers crossed he is! |

Suggest you go back and listen to the interviews he did in December! Sorry can't be bothered to do that. I do recall him pointing out that the club is years / decades behind in terms of infrastructure, that he can't keep overachieving all the time and that he had a bottom 6 budget and some players were being payed peanuts etc. Personally I didn't read that as DC being critical of the owners and saying he felt he wasn't being backed by them, I read it as more an explanation for the poor run of form and a statement of fact, reminding everyone what a great job both he and the squad have done to have got into L1 with back to back promotions and bouncing back from the conference at the first time of asking. It's interesting how people interpret things in a different way. |

I havnt mentioned that particular aspect of the conversation before[budget] on here but like i said he has since said as much in interviews. He kindly told me the names of all the development players after i asked him and then after he suddenly talked about the other stuff. I just think he wears his heart on his sleeve and there was a period this season when he was very frustrated hence why he talked about the other stuff to a supporter. It would take a very good club willing to pay compensation to get his services so there must be every chance he will stay. |

Barry Fry was spot on. DC has been let down; l would not be surprised if the bigger championship clubs come a knocking in the summer. Wael and Waq will do well to hang on to him. Let’s hope they have a plan B.

They could have chucked more money at DC, but then would the expectation be more? If we were where we are now with more investment in the team, would DC still be employed.
Dwane Sports at the moment are trying to put the foundations in place for the club for DC and beyond.
