Sorry, i know you all love DC and I appreciate everything he has done for the club but it was very much time for a change the recruitment and tactics have been shocking! He has admitted he's had the biggest budget ever (though if you listen carefully to a good handful of interviews he changes what he says.. alot) ... he constantly moaned last season about the state of the pitch so money was pumped in so we now have a lush pitch... for hoofball, this season it's the stadium etc which albeit abit annoying really isn't his problem it's just deflection from his own mistakes, I really don't understand what's with everyone saying "lack of backing" and pointing fingers at the owners constantly... as for long term I'd try Chris Hargreaves!

Should have been sacked 3 months after signing Nichols!  |

Sorry the truth hurts your fragile self. scant praise sandwiched between three posts full of criticism. Have some respect for the man before you tear him to bits. |

I appreciate what he's done for the club... (as seen in original post) but that doesn't change the fact change was needed and his recruitment and tactics etc for months have been shocking. Success doesn't make you exempt from criticism. |

I just wish DC could have kept his frustrations about the training ground and stadium out of his mind enough to carry on doing the amazing job he was doing but I don’t blame him for losing the plot which in my opinion he had this season and despite the amazing job he’s done in the past it’s been a catalogue of errors this season from recruitment to tactics to team selection.
Doesn’t change the fact he’s a very good manager his record speaks for him regardless of anything else and I wish him all the best for the future.
I’m gutted it’s gone tits up this season and I’m gutted that it’s an end of an era but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit relieved today, it’s been painful to watch the side this season and it’s been painful to watch DC in his interviews as he’s clearly been very unhappy and this was definitely on the cards.
Thanks for everything DC your a legend.

I actually agree to some degree. This season has been poor and I think DCs time has come, but not because he is a bad manager as his record shows he definately isn't. He has been hung out to dry by the owners who rode on his back into this division. Nichols is all huff and puff and no end product and Payne seems unmotivated, but they were cheap replacements for the talent we lost. DC should have been backed after back to back promotions the board allowed us to lose momentum. Your are right saving our club from extinction and producing the only consecutive promotions this club has ever had may not make him exempt from criticism, but a little reflection on his momentus achievements wouldn't go amiss. Fair enough you are entitled to your oppinion I'm just a little raw at the moment. |

I don't think anyone (least of all DC himself) was saying he wasn't struggling or made mistakes. It's deeper than that. DC called the club out long ago for being 20 years behind the times. He changed the culture within the club singlehandedly but could't do anything about that. The board promised an evolution toward Championship level but none of that has happened. DC overachieved and needed the club to catch up so he could continue. It didn't, the momentum was lost and the morale harder to keep up/ players harder to attract (no future ground/ training facilities). He and players thus lost their mojo. When people say he hasn't been backed this is what I think many mean. |

Evolution is a slow progress, you're looking for a revolution which Wael's never really promised us. At the end of the day the owners have acted in the best interests of the club in relieving DC of his duties, as otherwise it was looking like DC would have another relegation on his CV. Whilst DC maybe a good Div 2 manager he's still really needs to prove he's got what it takes at Div 1 level.

Whilst DC maybe a good Div 2 manager he's still really needs to prove he's got what it takes at Div 1 level. He got us to 10th and 13th in our first 2 seasons in L1 immediately after a double promotion. Not too shabby if you ask me. He was seemingly affected by the stagnation of the club off the field, and I don't blame him. Stagnation = Devolution in football. |

I've enjoyed watching DC's brand of football over his tenure & his heart on the sleeve approach but...
he publicly criticised the pitch last season its like a bowling green this season and we've been bloody awful on it
he constantly criticised the owners in public and you can't keep doing that unless your at the top of the table and bomb proof as frustrated we all are its something that should be behind close doors and in public should show a united front
This happens up and down the country in our league Blackpool/Charlton spring to mind they seem to be doing ok
The buck stops with the manager its not been good enough thanks DC but time for a change
Lets hope our new man is as good if not better Sh%t happens normally to us UTG

At the moment it feels like stagnation not evolution. And "another relegation on his CV" - really? |

Nothing will change until we have new owners...indeed things will most likely get worse.

I think it's really strange the way these new posters have suddenly appeared blackening DC and bigging up the board. Presumably now trying to build support for the cheap option of Hargreaves!! |

They are hardly blameless but they don't pick the crap week in week out, it's all fine when you can have your say but anyone who disagrees must have an ulterior motive, muppet. |

Altogether now, “We are the Wael appreciation Society”. The man who can do no wrong. Happy to be carried down Glos Road when times were good and now nowhere to be seen. And now the CEO finally appears from hibernation to tell us he can’t remember what happened in the meeting with DC.
And you trust this lot? Total clowns.
