Why'll we'd all like Lionel Messi to play for the gas.
There isn't anyone out there I'd like in charge more than Darrell.
From tears to champagne- it's been a beautiful ride.

Agreed. If we were given the choice of literally any manager, I'd probably still pick DC. We're so lucky to have him and long may he reign supreme at the Gas!

There might be better managers out there, but this definitely feels like exactly the right bloke in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.

It's not only DC it's the chemistry he has with Wael which is so good, they are the Dream Team. D.C. is a ledge he is like Ollie after counselling 😊

How many promotions did he win? How much money did he spend? To be fair to Ollie he never managed us below Div 1, where he managed to get us into the Play Offs and probably would have taken us up but for Ronnie Mauge's injured and the Robert/Cureton saga in his penultimate season, plus he of course when on to better things at Blackpool. As far as the OP all this hero worship usually comes back to bite us!

my view of dc is that if we never win another game with him as manager he will be up there with bert tann,bill dodgin,don megson and gerry francis as great rovers managers and he could yet rise above the aforementioned. heres hoping

Right now, I think Gerry Francis' achievements were marginally greater, because of where we were financially, being away from Bristol and the fact that he got us promoted to the second tier. However, if DC were to get us promoted again I think he would have to be rated our greatest manager. Big task ahead, though.

However, if DC were to get us promoted again I think he would have to be rated our greatest manager. Big task ahead, though. I can see your point but feel that DC's achievements exceed Gerry's: My reasoning being that despite the fact we were playing in Bath, and I do appreciate that we were using Fry's as a training base, which was not the ideal for a professional football team: DC took us from near enough rock bottom (the next step surely being oblivion) to two promotions. No matter what league a team is playing in, it is supposed to be in the same class as the rest of the league: We got relegated to the Conference because we got less points than other teams of our supposed class: Likewise, we got promoted because we got more points than the rest of the teams in our league, and then showed we were worthy, albeit In one instance by winning the play-off final. DC's budget to achieve the foregoing was reduced dramatically (from all that I have read and been told) to the previous seasons' and I would think was lower in comparison than that that Gerry had. DC is the only Rovers manager to win successive promotions: To use a cliche, no matter what level(s) the team is playing at, it can only beat what is in front of it. To do so two seasons running makes DC the best Rovers manager in my time, in my opinion. EDIT: I would mention that one of my nephews is named Gerry Francis in recognition of the original's job done with us: Unfortunately, when he was still young he wanted his name changed because he felt that Gerry was to blame for our failing He is OK with it again now though............I think

Maybe we shouldn't compare - they are both great!
