So we were told 4 bits of info. Leeds had asked permission to speak to DC, we said no unless they meet our conditions, we then offered a 3 year contract and DC signed. No need to panic, sounds as if from clubs position it went very smoothly albeit a bit rushed when Leeds started the ball rolling. I look forward to much eating of humble pie or re-writing of what some posters actually meant. Perhaps in future it might be good to wait for firm information and not go off on one like some have. I for one am delighted Wael and his associates are running our club. Onwards and upwards. UTG! Did I miss something? I'm certain that those (including me) who expressed frustration at the thought of DC leaving did explain their viewpoint. I didn't see one post slagging him off or that was critical of his potential departure that wasn't tempered with the caveat that they wanted him to stay, that he was a brilliant manager. My own frustrations were focused on what might have happened and I'm delighted that I got myself in a tizz over nothing. A thread about what manager and player you were most upset about about losing says everything. Supporters get down when they see the chance for the club to progress pushed back when assets leave. In times past its been inevitable, hopefully this shows its no longer the case. I couldn't be happier not to have my frustrations come to fruition. Well done for having absolute faith in everything. I've seen too much go wrong for BRFC to be that sure so quickly. Utg. I think it's because of the rollercoaster ride of emotions we have all been put through since xmas, pre takeover we were all wondering whether we would even have a club to support with the appeal looming, then takeover and we all get carried away with what it might mean, then promotion on the last day and the future looks even rosier. Then in typical rovers fashion it looks like we may have it all disrupted again, and wonder is it any different, are these owners the real deal if we still can't hold onto our best assets. I am now more optimistic on positive uwe news coming soon, and looks like the new owners may be everything we hoped they were.

Saying stuff like "if you want to leave then you can f**k off" or what ever else was posted was disrespectful and OTT which was why I challenged it. That's my view point which I've also explained. No one is doubting how much people were upset at the thought of him leaving and no one is being smug for having absolute faith either. Faith is just an excuse for believing something you want to believe based on no evidence. It's as ridiculous a stand point as going off on one. If i watered off anyone with my remarks then i apologise, my frustration with the situation was driving my comments, i really did believe he would walk and i have been proved wrong. Then the question would have been why did he walk if the future off the field is supposedly so rosey. Those doubts have been put to bed as he wouldn't still be here if he didn't have assurances from wael.

have you got any more rants for say taylor bodin lockyer etc just in case they leave?? or maybe marcus stewart? That one missed as well Mickey. I refer you you to the content of my earlier posts. it would appear you are getting rather too close to attacking the poster not the post. Naughty naughty. you said "if dc leaves f off and good riddance" im just saying maybe get some more rants against others that might leave? if dc had gone to leeds your rant could have been debated im sure some[not me] would have agreed with you,but it looked absurd when you posted it and even more so now imo

Probably the first time ever a big club has come after a player or coach and we've been it the situation to sent them packing. hope Matty T follows suit. Slightly different scenario as MT can leave on a free, so the only way to convince him to stay is persuade him that he could still be a Championship in a year or two if he stays, and also meet his wage demands (within reason). still it shows massive intent from the club , under higgs he would of gone so we could pay the bills but were not rag bag rovers anymore and were not going to get bullied.

Anyway he's staying! Fab.

Time to move on I feel, some of us panicked a bit when we thought DC might leave as it did make you wonder if all wasn't as rosy as it seemed with the new owners, plus we all know how hard it has been to get a decent manager at Rovers probably just GF, possibly the LL/PT combo, in 4 decades and, what, 20+ different managers!!

Coming on here, with your ridiculously positive views , just because we've won back to back promotions, have one of the best young managers in the country, owned by a billionaire , getting a new stadium, new training ground, have the highest scorer in the league, record ST sales looming, what is there to be so bloody happy about? Some people! (walks away mumbling)

I've seen too much go wrong for BRFC to be that sure so quickly. Utg. I don't think I disagree with much of this and I don't have absolute faith but I will always wait until there is something factual and real to complain against. But I also don't have any faith in rumour or people Itk. I've been following Rovers since the mid 60s and I've also seen my share of things going wrong as well. It's fair enough that you disagree with me but there have been a number of posts implying DC was desperate to leave, didn't get on with the owners, players weren't going to sign contracts and other implications questioning his character. And all this was based on Leeds asking permission to talk to him, something the BOD said no to. What is that about? Loads of people jumped to conclusions, thought the worst and questioned the guys credibility. Of course they wanted him to stay and would have been upset if he had gone but the posts tipped into the personal and was based on very little. Just because supporters get down shouldn't mean people questioning the guy's loyalty and commitment which has been shown over the past 2 years. My point was that more patience was needed, people need to wait for some facts. Even had he gone to Leeds what a great 2 years we've had! The guy owes us nothing. Had we known 2 years ago that we would be here now, we would have jumped at it. Wouldn't we? I guess in the end we are all happy gasheads and that is great. UTG!

Naughty naughty. you said "if dc leaves f off and good riddance" im just saying maybe get some more rants against others that might leave? if dc had gone to leeds your rant could have been debated im sure some[not me] would have agreed with you,but it looked absurd when you posted it and even more so now imo And I qualified everything I said in that first thread. my concern was that we were about to lose DC, something I desperately didn't want to happen. I stated my fervent wish that he would stay. I gave evidence as to why I expected him to stay. In my view, if he left he would be reneging on a promise, hence my "Good riddance" comment. He has stayed, that has made my day. I firmly believe that, with the right backing, this man can take us to the Championship. With a new stadium, who knows? I have no concerns over others that may leave, if they do then so be it, as far as I am aware no-one else has made any specific promises, so that is a totally different scenario. I hope that any staff DC wishes to keep stay, and that any additions he require sign on. I hope that, even as I write SH and Waq are working through Darrells list of potential signings and putting the wheels in motion. End of rant.
