They said at the start a new stadium was a priority and then kept that pretense going for 18 months (landing lights, feasibility studies etc) do you think the stadium was going to pay for itself? Plus if they aren't going to bank roll us who's going to pay for the training ground and Mem regeneration? Ignoring the will they/wont they for a moment. Unless someone mega rich like Lansdown is prepared to just drop 10s of millions and expecting nothing back, then any stadium or training ground will be built with loans, or outside investments, just like most things ever are. The ALQ's are seemingly, at least collectively, billionaires who have access to funds from their own investment bank they've clearly got access to the funds if they wanted to spend/invest it. I don't personally care how the funds are raised as long as we get some progress soon on one of the developments and it doesn't eventually bankrupt us. |

Definitely do not get rid of DC, surely the answer is relatively simple, give DC the budget to bring in the 5/6 additional players in January.

I think some on here are on a come down after the two promotions.
Rovers being mid table league 1 is pretty much our average position in our history but after 2 successive promotions it feels flat to some perhaps.
I can’t think how else anyone in their right mind who want DC to be sacked at this moment in time.

True, and that's where these fans need to stop for a minute and think logically before posting nonsense. If they've got 2 brain cells to rub together they should be able to form some sense of realism and context out of their "flat" feelings. Of course there will always be the odd Burton Albion who perform way above their level, but they'll be back down in L2 sooner or later. We've got to go about our business with a little patience. I realise that's a word that some fans can't quite get their head around after 2 successive promotions. |

And people ask why DC looks depressed? Haha probably the delusional fickle fans who forget what he’s done for the club and the fact that he is the best manager of our generation just because we lose a couple of games. It makes me laugh when people ask for loyalty from players, but those same people don’t want the club to show any to the people who have served our club so well. Thankfully it is all water off of a Ducks back to DC! |

Great analogy Socrates, grown adults having a tantrum is exactly the way I see it. |

It seems to me that "These fans" are maybe and at most 12 keyboard warrior, wannabe Rovers managers who think, for some strange reason they know better. Hardly likely to cause DC or the owners sleepless nights I would imagine. |

Sacking DC is nonsense. He has given us so much in three short years and now we must give him something back....time.
He is victim of his own success by giving himself a huge challenge every year. The higher budget this season puts him under more pressure to get results and he puts huge pressure on himself.Everytime he gets promotion it puts him in unchartered waters and raises some fans expectation even more.
I do think as well that any manager who loses his top goal scorer doesn't make him a bad manager, but it makes a massive difference and also puts the pressure on the defence. Is Ronald Koeman a bad manager? No chance. How are the club's who lost and gained these two goal scorers doing. The proof is in the results.
So lay off DC we own him a huge amount,he is learning his trade. Our investment in him now will give huge returns in the future for BRFC.

Just a quick questions to those who want DC out, who would replace him,lets face it ,even Alex Ferguson if managed us would get whinged at even if we were the top of the prem and top in europe.
Lets face it You would need to bed deaf,blind with the skin of a rhino to feel comfortable managing us.
The reality is we have a good manager who is still learning his craft and has done better than many an experienced manager

Seems to me like a high percentage of posters are behind DC, there are a few, and it is a few, who have a different view, however this cannot be scientific as not everyone posts or even register for the forum. The recent poll was heavily in favour of DC with a tiny minority wanting DC out. It would appear that these people who continually post the negative will one day get their request, he will leave, whether pushed or to further his career.
I have noticed a lot of shouting and criticism mostly at away games, these vocal few have the right to their opinion, after all we are a democracy, however, they are a minority, just like on here, a minority.
This does not make me a happy clapper or religiously deluded. Like the bulk of fans I go to the games and support MY team, the team I chose as a 13 year old and its current manager.

Just got back from a brilliant time in Nottingham. Shame Rovers blew a two goal lead but it's only the FA Cup and I'd rather concentrate on building for a play off challenge. Sack DC? No way. Haven't even lost 8 on the bounce like the Ted's did. Not in the bottom 3. Not cut adrift. UTG!

After 130 years of rovers being distinctly average (along with many other clubs), why's people losing the plot all of a sudden? What's changed?

Sacking D.C. Is somewhat a tad premature I I think , but sometimes I do shake my head in disbelief at his tactics , formations and constant rotation of playing staff over this season , how can we not hold onto a two goal lead and why do we keep conceding so many goals ? It's a f@cking embarrassment. The tactics, formations and rotations is what has brought us two promotions and our highest finish for years. Not working now though is it fella , quite obvious really that his tactics , formations and rotations need to change drastically if we are not to fall into a dare I say it ‘relegation battle ‘. |
