I am continually hearing opinions from a divided club. I am sure some of these views are not from people who have the best interests of Bristol Rovers at heart. It wasn't just DC which led our rebirth from non league but a unity throughout the club. We signed up to having our Rovers back warts and all. If we want to progress we need to unite again. Players, staff and fans. Lets do this. UTG!! You left out owners. What annoys the regular away fans is the crap constantly dished up. Our away form has been relegation form for the last two seasons. It is purely down to Clark and the non shape we play away. You would gave struggled to find a Clark fan last night at NC. |

I personally blame the people that went to the West Ham game. For everything? Bit harsh. I blame them for the break up of my first marriage, and for losing me that job on the paper round I had when I was a nipper. |

Bored of our tactics, bored of our players, bored of our stadium, bored at us never improving anything. Season ticket for 20 odd years but feeling we’ve reached our level and the only way is back down again! Flat and disillusioned and I’m blaming the money men for their false dawn! I should have known better with our experiences but I finally thought things were going to change! The lack of hope is the killer! Meh..... Sack the bored. |

DC said prior to the match that the gap between the top L2 and L1 sides is close compared with the gulf between L1 and championship. Would hate for us to get promoted as we would get f**ked in the Championship. Do we have any players that could play in the Championship ? Right now you would only think billy bodin and maybe liam sercombe? Lockyer (if he can put this awful run behind him), Broadbent, Leadbitter and Ellis all have the talent/potential in my opinion. |

I agree with the thread title, it would be a sorry time for Clarke to go.

Are some of our fan base on here 12 years old or just acting like it? We're mid table in league 1 after 2 promotions in 3 years. Have some *ing patience. By chance did you post the same when Trollope first started to struggle or even JW? As Gasincider says our home form is keeping us mid table, what happens if that slips as well as we seem incapable of winning away from home, plus we've only played the top 5 or 6 away what happens if they start taking points off us in the return games at the Mem. |

Sorry your right. Sack him now and then bring in a new manager each season after worse starts than this until were non league again. Who out there is better than what we have and will come to the football club? |

You can't blame Clarke he has not had much money to spend. You gotta Larf. Clarke has spent half a million in recent times on players, which is about half a million more than JW on his return. He also has a higher budget than JW had, so get a bit closer with the facts please. One of the biggest issues for a manager in our position is the ability to spend money wisely. DC doesn't know players at our level, never mind at Leeds level. He badgered the board for money to buy a player near to his home, and when told he could go ahead, he bottled it. He is now leaving his comfort zone. Another one who thinks he could do better than DC |

It is a sorry state that the club and the majority of the fans have no ambition but are happy to wallow in the glory of 2 promotions which are now history, can non of you look forward and see that we are going nowhere other than mid / low table league one side. but it seems that is what everyone is happy with People forget we had Nick Higgs as our chairman in the Conference. Until he got shafted by Sainsburys we were looking good for a new stadium. When the new owners came in, can we honestly say...."oh great!! Now we can get that new training ground!!" No. We thought that this new multi millionaire would start spending some serious money on players to get us out of Div 1, and if necessary bankroll us while we sort a decent stadium out. Hence the surge in season ticket sales! It would appear the new owner has as much or maybe even less ambition than the previous board. I think Bill Dodgin had more ambition after the south stand burnt down! I'm getting a Paul Trollope feeling coming on... But what evidence is there that UWE was even a good deal under NH? 'we' f**ked up as much as Sainsburys shafting us. That is in the trial evidence. UWE was reliant on someone pYing over the odds for The Mem and us doing a deal with a company that has form with dicking people about. So lets not rewrite That bit of history Who thought the new owners were going to bank roll us, when they said from the start they wouldnt |

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. |

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. |
