Interesting what he said about the training ground. But his stadium comments, I get the atmos/imitation factor, but surely he wants a better stadium, although Im sure his priority is simy survival this season and he doesn't want other concerns. He’s also not daft and I’m sure will have learnt from how DC’s downfall here was largely down to him getting too caught up in off-field matters. He’s only six games into his managerial career - he was never going to rock the boat too much tonight.

He's won f**k all yet. How about we just calm down and see how we get on. Right this is personal opinion but having watched the dire performances I did not see where the next 3 points were coming from under clarkiola. So that's why I am impressed. Have to say I'm a big DC fan and really wanted him to stay as I believed he could turn things around but in hindsight it was right decision for us to part company. GC is a breath of fresh air isn't he? Back to basics, a straight talker, has a no nonsense approach, comes across as a great motivator and man manager to me. All of his energy is focused on the job in hand which is keeping us up. Yes, it's clear his expectations regards to the off the field progress are low but to be honest what we need right now is to survive this season, consolidate our L1 status and steady the ship.

Why do people think a new manager would worry about a new stadium, training facilities etc? They're here for the short term - in GC's case to save us from the drop and have a good season next year - mid table at least or pushing for top six. There's no long term plan - at the moment it's to survive in our traditional 3rd tier level and enjoy the good times when they come along. Until the real prospects of a new ground and infrastructure are in place that's the reality at present.

Something infectious about the chap, seems a genuinely decent bloke who will call a spade a spade and tell it exactly how it is when needed. Enjoyable listen, worth getting it on catch up if you missed it! Agree with this, although in fairness this was pretty much what we said about DC for a long time. But if we get two promotions out of Cogs as well then I think we'd all be pretty happy!

Coughlan not bothered about a new training ground or stadium and is seemingly happy enough the way things are. DC gave his blessing and put his name forward to the board Coughlan- "Mischief makers on the TV saying Rovers were going to interview other candidates (Ben Garner) and I don't know if that was to hurry me up or what or to push me, I don't know" (Contract signed shortly after) Brentford have the option to recall Bonham this month, But Coughlan hopes that won't be the case. Had a meeting today regarding transfers and discussed alternatives if he does go back. Maybe he's not bothered about a new stadium but I am. Appointing GC in my opinion was simply a cheap option and one this board were always going to do. Without new blood in the January window I think we will probably end up in the bottom 4. Yes we've had a couple of wins but after the new manager syndrome wears off I think we'll be back to square one. Hopefully i'm wrong but I don't think I am. So on a personal level, don't you think GC earned the right to be given a chance then? I fail to see whether he was the 'cheap option' or not is relevant if he manages to keep us up. I understand everyone these days likes a conspiracy theory, especially when it fits their agenda (in this case bashing the board), but sometimes things are actually just as they seem, the guy has turned results around, simplified things and motivated the players, honestly what more do you want? Do you think another manager would have done better? If the board had given someone else the job and they'd fecked it up the usual suspects would have turned round and blamed the board for not appointing Coughlan. If his results had been mediocre, then you may have had a point, but four wins and a draw in our last 5 games speaks for itself. Give the guy a bit of respect, he has earned the right to be given a chance.

I really do not see why GC should worry about a Stadium or a training Ground as he is manager of the club and his job is getting the right results on the pitch whether that be the Mem,Shrewsbury, Walsall or wherever we play. Failure to get the ground or a training ground will not get him the sack but poor results will. From memory only I can never remember a previous Manager moaning about a Stadium and that is going back to 1986!! At the end of the day the Manager is paid to get results. The Owners take care of the day to day running of the Football Club. DC has been on dangerous ground all season because if you are going to forever criticise your boss you have to ensure that you are doing your job well.

The stadium, training ground and "doing your job well" go hand in hand. Good facilities help increase revenue, would enable us to attract a higher calibre of player, create a better working environment and help us get those results you talk about. There is only so much over achieving a manager can do before you hit the ceiling, Darrell Clarke knew that, which was why he was so keen to push for the better facilities that we need to push the club on and that we were all promised.

Seeing as he doesn't mind I guess Lines now has an open invitation to pass Cocko the shovel to take care of the fox **** on the training ground....

Man's a winner think we will see prettier football if we achieve 52 points, talks sense loved DC but could not fathom the pep clarkiola approach at the end. Simple instructions to players the man's going to be a good fit at our club. He's won f**k all yet. How about we just calm down and see how we get on. Clarke Won f**k all in the last 2 years but people still love him

I enjoyed the interview,very good insight into both himself and some of the workings of the playing side of the club. For me a manager or a player are employed to take care of the football business and the owners/board deal with providing facilities.
Dc may have been promised the world and felt let down but graham coughlan dosnt have any such issues and can just concentrate on the football.

No, it didn't end well you're right. But this just about sums up your average fickle football fan, that you are so easily dismissive of a man who has managed here about 5 years with 2 promotions, and so full of praise for a manager who has managed 6 games here.

Or does that mean f**k all, all of a sudden. Must have got lost amongst all the other massive managerial successes we have had in the past. 🙈
